A place to share my days and the projects I'm working on. The details of life...
"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them." Ephesians 2:8-10

All-Machine Sewn Cathedral Window Blocks
I was so excited the day I found Chris' tutorial on how to sew a cathedral window completely by machine. http://quiltwithus.connectingthreads.com/photo/albums/cathedral-window-wallhanging (By the way ~ the community of quilters on Connecting Threads website - "quilt with us" is really a neat place!
I LOVE cathedral windows and hope to someday make a bed size quilt - but for now have been making smaller items. My banner picture is a table runner that was done mostly by hand. However, the above block became a small pillow and was done all by machine. It is amazing how well it comes out. I once saw table runners and bed quilts in Lancaster, PA that were cathedral windows all done by machine - but I could never figure out how they did it. If you love cathedral windows - you may like to try following Chris' tutorial - its really not hard - it looks harder than it really is. Happy Spring!
