The Pokeberry Quilt

 

I've been wanting to make this quilt for years, watching Ebay or Etsy for a chance to buy the kit with the original fabrics are at least fabrics that reflect the look of the original design.  Found it on Ebay a few weeks ago.

 

The original design was a Girl Gang project from 2002-2003.  The seller taught the class so she had some of the blocks finished in this kit.

 

 

I should be able the sew one section this weekend together which would include the two top blocks on the left and the sashing so I can hand applique the Pokeberry stems and circles to that section.

 

 

If you subscribed to the Girl Gang, I did for several years, you received these extra projects like this notebook cover.

 

Thanks for all the comments on my wildlife pictures, quiet this week with little snow, but blowing winds and cold so I've only had some deer and my rabbit.

Feather Star Girl Gang 2004

Finally put the binding on this queen size quilt from Jan Patek's Girl Gang series from 2004.
Considering the triangles, which I hate making and all the hand appliqué and hand quilting, seven years in the making doesn't sound that bad. I used linen thread for the quilting and am just adding a running stitch with linen thread for now so I can use it on Jim's bed. I have moved into his room to be closer to the cats and memories.
