LSU Quilt

In honor of the big SEC football game coming up this weekend

and being a Louisiana girl, I was inspired to make an LSU quilt.

LSU vs. Alabama

Both teams are undefeated so far this season.

That  streak will end for one team this Saturday.

The quilt piecing was simple...

Two purple strips, one tiger print strip,

and two cheddar yellow pieces to finish it off.

The quilting was all done by machine with straight lines -

 diagonal on the cheddar, channels on the stripes.

The backing is one big piece of tiger print.

Finished size - 37 x 39 inches.

Sometimes simple is better :-)

Geaux tigers!

Bow Tucks Totes

Happy Valentine's Day!

A while back I got into making these darling totebags. I made about ten of them. When I showed them at our guild meeting during "Show and Tell" and said they were Bow Tucks Totes, some women in the audience popped out laughing. They misunderstood what I said... they heard BOTOX Totes.

The pattern is called Bow Tucks Tote by Peggy Sturges for Quilts Illustrated.

These are some of the ones I made. They are for sale in my Etsy Shop.
