The ever-so boring life of Martha

Since I'm caught up with BHMQ, I thought I'd try and finish up the Temecula Mystery Quilt.  I'm using my Atlas sewing machine, which is one of my ebay scores.  She sews very good, is quiet and the Bobbin s hold a lot of thread.

Here is part #6.......I'm working on part 7......but school starts back tomorrow which may slow me doen alot (statistics :( ) 

Everyone is posting pictures of quilets that they made over the year.  I started to feel underproductive until I went back and started to look at all I had done.   So here they are, In no particular order.  Technically I put all the pieces together and quilted it in 2016.   The blocks were 2014  There are 2 Mario Quilts that I made.    The blues are different  My Sister, Beth< nade a butterfly qult also for my nieces twins

This was an easy clue for Christmas week.  I had it knocked out in no time.    I discovered why I ran low on my purples.   I had ordered my kit from Whittles and failed to read that pink was being used as the lavender.   OOPS......Since I'm not a pink person,   I'm not too upset about that, but will have to work on replacing the cwr purples at some point.  .     I'm still treadling away in this project and am contemplating on attempting to do the quilting on the treadle too.  I've never done any quilting on the treadle,  so I will have to practice and It would be straight  lines only

This is Garlic Knot.  BH had it in one of th Quilt Maker Magazines.  I didn't start it until early fall.  This was my just sit a sew  project between school and work.   Everything was cut from previous projects, I just had to supplement some of the backgrounds.        The border was done in gray.   I was going to do the quilt wit the gray background but wasn't working for me.  Someone suggesested taht I ues the gray blocks as the border, which worked really good.  The quilting was a struggle, then the circles just happened and looked good with the quilt. The back is flannel.  you can see the early attempts of what I was going to do the quilting in.

This is the first attempted link up of this MQ year !!!  I'm hoping it works.   I decided to sew the MQ on the Treadle.   So far EVERYTHING has been done on it.  She is a 1920 Red Eye Treadle,   She sews really well and is very smooth.
