The REAL Elaine Adair

 

OK, I confess - I STOLE this photo from my LQS, as they had a photo of me as well as a recent quilt.  I don't think I ever posted a photo of me, so that's why I'm posting it now.  The quilt went to family members in Wisconsin for Christmas.  

ANOTHER scrappy quarter log cabin

 

  

This might be 7 or 8 or 9 of similar scrappy projects.  They work up quickly, and have been quite attractive with a minimum of work.  I only did lights and darks and have been pleased with each of them.  I started machine quilting this one early today and have about half done. Don't ya jes' love it when you get on a roll and there are no interruptions?

                           Happy New Year!

Triple Four-Patch

 

I received a request for "a quilt in blues, with purples and reds," so here is what happened, in a matter of weeks!  This was likely inspired by Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville.com, because everything she does is so appealing.  Those bold checks on the backing DID cause issues -- ya can't hide those stitches!  Today I will be brave and wash it, as one red scrap showed signs of bleeding.  Yes, I've learned to include Dawn in the washer.   This DONE-PROJECT goes in the mail AFTER the holidays because I want to show it at next All Day Sew, in January.  

(I just noticed my own shadow in my photo! )

Happy Holidays and Blessings to all!
