Were has the month gone. I have finished Henry's quilt labeled and a hanging sleeve on it too : ). I gave it to him last week. So it can go on the wall. The last time I saw it his baby sister was using it for a blanket for her doll. Hey at least it is being loved and used.

Henry's art quilt



My grandson drew this picture in 2007 when he was 9. I told him I would use the picture as a guide to make a wall quilt for him it has taken me awhile but today I managed to pin it together so I can start to do the quilting. I am thinking of quilting leaves on it. I will try free motion quilting.

My ohio star quilt is not going so well the flannel is stretching so I have to unpick and I don't like unpicking.

Flag


I haven't been doing much quilting but I have been sewing. Here is a photo of the golf clubs new flag. I have been sewing the emblem on to it. It is all finished now just in time for the Masters Games. Sorry about the flag looking backwards but I had to take the photo with my computer camera as the digital camera was away with DH.  The emblem is on both sides of the flag. So I had to sew both pieces on at the same time. I only had to unpick one of the white stars as I hadn't position the underneath piece of fabric correctly. Glad it was the only one as each pieces is satin stitched on. I am not very patient with unpicking.
