Ok, computers are giving me headaches today! Hope it works this time. The next one is a Lap Rag quilt I made with upholstery samples:

This next one is a Star Lap quilt, tied:

The next is a lap quilt I just finished for my sister using one of my mom's embroidered squares in the center, I machine-tacked it using a decorative stitch:

This next one still has to be bound, it's my lap quilt (large) and is also using my mom's embroidered squares in the middle of all the nine-patches, also machine tacked:

Here is a closeup of one of the embroidered squares:

The next is a closeup of the tacking stitch I used:

A Bear's Paw Pillow, this was made of some linen material my husband fished out of a dumpster in back of a place that makes table linens:

Other quilted pillows:

A potholder:

And finally the quilt we use in the summer, machine-pieced, hand-quilted, I've posted this before but for those that are new there is a very funny story behind this one, if you want a good laugh, search the word Palmetto:

I've made other quilts and things but family members and friends have them now, I wish I had thought to photograph them.

    Lovely, I'm partial to hand quilted, but they are all lovely! My fam loves the raggedy edge quilts and I have a lump in the middle of my hand from making them.

    I love your large lap-quilt with your mom's embroidered blocks in the the 9-patch blocks! I like the contrasting colors in it and the that it's got embroidered blocks in the middle is really cool. It's really beautiful! :-)

    Best to you,

    Such a nice treet to have some lovily pic to look at. Nice quilts and pillows. Just curious--how far a part do you machine tack? I have done it some place in the past but can't recall when. I like the idea of using your mom's sq. a nice touch. Jayne

    Palmetto - the bug story?!

    How special to have the beautiful embroidered blocks from your mom!

    I think the ones using your mom's emb blocks are really special, Rita. I like the blue and white star quilt, too.

    Thanks for the kind comments, also the well-wishes concerning my eye infection. This is a nasty one, when I was a kid and got pinkeye, my mom would put some kind of ointment on it and it would be gone in 2 days. This one has been a week now - the nurse says it's going around all over and it's really a stubborn one. It hasn't kept me from sewing but I've been staying at home because it's so contagious.

    Rita, I love all your quilts! They all look comfy and loved, which is what quilts are for!

    Do you have conjunctivitis? I had that several years ago and was banished for a week or so until due to the contagious-ness of it.

    Donna, yes it's conjunctivis - and very contagious - that's why I've kept at home all week, but today I HAD to go to the grocery, DH is working today and we were out of everything. I hate to go around and expose anyone else to this - it's pretty nasty - but I had no choice. I made sure I used the hand sanitizer at the store a couple of times. The nurse at the Dr.'s office said she had it and her daughter also - the daughter was banned from work for 2 weeks because of it. I'm pretty sure I got it from where I volunteer - I found out one of the clients had it and I did shake hands with him the week before.
