Hi - I love your quilt top and can't wait to hear how the oil cloth works for backing. That would be a wonderful gift idea for my grandkids. Please, keep us posted!!!

I'm working on a couple of UFO's as well as sewing a. Opulent of sundresses for our granddaughter. I think my first love is still in sewing clothing. The patter companies make it difficult however when a si gle pattern is $13.00!! Crazy!!

Happy sewing

My big project for the summer is a quilt to celebrate my 50th birthday on August 2nd....but I have so many ideas that I can't decide what I want to make! The requirements are that it be relatively easy, fun and bright. I'm an intermediate quilter but want this one finished by my birthday (which is just a few days before I go back to work as a middle school teacher...and I don't quilt much during the school year!) so I can enjoy it ON my birthday. All ideas welcome!

My summer quilt is a "Herd of Turtles for my sister-in-law. It is a variation of drunkard's path. The background is mint green (scraps from another drunkard's path quilt with a variety of batiks forming the body of the turtle. A head and a tail are inserted in the pieces and stick up. Sashing is purple--said S-I-S's favorite color. The pattern is one of the old Kansas City Star patterns.
