My Friday Finishes for last week

Last week I did have a few finish up's to post, only they weren't related to quilting, but no less fun.  On Friday the 26th my youngest son spoke his wedding vows to the love of his life and I had the privilege of doing minor alterations to the Brides Wedding Gown.  I also made 2 Bridal Hankies '(one for my daughter in law and one for my daughter, who is getting married on the 4th of July), and a boutonniere for my son.

My Brides to be: Rikki, my dsughter in law to be, and Nancy, my daughter, who are getting married a week apart.

This week I will be working on alterations for my daughter's wedding party.

Finish up Friday!

It has been a about 6 months since my last post and it has been a while since I have actually been in my studio to quilt. The winter had been a difficult one for me and the only quilting I was doing was on the Mondays I was able to make it to my BOL (Bags of Love) group.  Early June is the time for our East Tennessee Quilt Shop Hop so I did visit my local shops to pick up my free pattern. They were featuring Barns blocks, a subject I love.  I have finished 4 of my barn blocks with one left to make and I love the way they look. I am excited to finish them all, I am planning on making a wall hanging and pillow for my living room.

Crazy Quilt Barn Block from Holloway's in Cosby TN

I love the Barn History and want to find a way to Incorporate it into the quilt

This is my on point Barn Block from Sew Bee in Jonesboro -
I did have some difficulty with the pattern pieces not being the right size. I do wish this had Barn History write up.  

My Barn log cabin block 

I like the Barn History on this block too. from MidSouth Sewing

This block was challenging to figure out but I do like the way it turned out 

I haven't made this pattern yet.  I will post it when I am done.
