Making Patchwork Alphabet Letters

If you need to make alphabet letters for a quilt-by sewing a person's name on the quilt in block letters,
Sherri Bain Driver had an article in Quilters Newsletter Magazine dated Oct. 1999.  Yes, I have saved several shelves of QNM's, which have a wealth of information in them.  Someday, I may have to give them up, but at the moment, I still plan to keep all the magazines.

Batman and Spiderman

This past week, I've been working with Batman and Spiderman, making a Project Linus Quilt.  I used my Tumbler Die and cut out a good stack of tumblers for this quilt.  I found a stack of blue turquoise fabric, which I'm still not sure where I got it and if I planned to use it for something else.  Now that  I've used it all up and I like the result, I'm not going to worry about it.

This quilt top measures 52"across x 53.5" down.  I had a good time making this quilt, hoping that a
boy or girl will enjoy sleeping under it.

Thangled Up with TN Shop Hop Batiks from 2013

All (12) blocks were completed by the end of April 2013.  It has taken me 5 years to sew these 12 blocks together with sashings.  Now, it just needs a border.  Hopefully, I can finish this quilt within the next year, rather than waiting 5 more years to complete. 😊
