The ever-so boring life of Martha

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.
