Budrutz Website

Budrutz has been working on their website.  Now you can see more of their product line. In addition to quilt fabric, they have rotary cutters, rulers, thread and cutting mats. Orders can be made and paid for on the web.  They will continue to put more on the site to make quilting easier for you.

Here are a few of their children's fabrics that I recently purchased.

 

This is a close up of a very cute panel that I hope can be used for a comfort quilt.

 

 

 

Sara's Little Squares

Sara paper pieced these two little squares.  She has two more to complete this project.  They are only about 4 inches square and are so cute.

Making Progress On Nine Patch

I put my border on the quilt top.  I decided to go with gold and repeated the blue from the nine patch squares.

The stenciling is finished.  Susan helped me decide on the pattern and we both liked this one the best.  I have to sandwich this now and put it on the rack for quilting.  It will take awhile to quilt but I will enjoy doing the hand quilting.  I find that very relaxing.

Simple Nine Patch

I always wanted to make a simple nine patch quilt.  So, I've started this one in blue and white.  I'm don't usually use white; so, it seems a little too much white for me.  I have to get used to it.  I will put on borders with yellow and blue and I hope this will make it more to my liking.  Since there is so much white, I hope to hand quilt it, including a design in each of the blank squares.

Jacobs Ladder Quilt Block

I finished my 3rd block for the Underground Railroad quilt.  I now have 2 more to do in order to catch up.

Out To Lunch

Since a friend of mine and I have September birthdays we try to get together for lunch during the month.  This year we went to the Village Green.  It's a wonderful dairy restaurant in Jerusalem.  We had a great time sitting outside.  The weather was wonderful and it was so relaxing to spend some time with my good friend.

Pissott Succot 2011

Terry Mowszowski is hosting a Quilt-a-thon in her home on Sunday October 16, during Chol Hamoed Succot.  For more details you can reach Terry at

All quilts made during the Quilt-a-thon will go to the Bayit Shel Benji home for lone soldiers in Ra'anana.

Pissott will supply backing fabrics per quilt for every 100 shekels spent at their shop.

A big thank you for the combined effort of Pissott and Terry Mowszowski in helping our soldiers.

I'm Speechless

A big thank you to the ladies at the Quilting Corner.  What a beautiful gift and such a surprise.  I can't thank you enough.  We should all have a very happy and healthy year and make many beautiful quilts together.

The Hands Are Always Working

While we are having our shiur (lecture) the ladies are always working on something.  We have so much to do and so little time.  It's hard for me to take pictures without disturbing our teacher, but I did get a few pictures taken.

Rina's Making A Kaleidoscope Quilt

 Rina is making two Kaleidoscope quilts and brought in one of her blocks to discuss what color to use for sashing strips.  She used white but wasn't happy with it.  A nice fabric selection was placed next to it and what a difference (we didn't get a picture; but, you will see the finished product).  That's why it is so important to introduce other colors when you're not sure.  She hopes eventually that these quilts will end up in her guest room.

A Cat Pin Cushion

This is really cute.  Bracha was busy working at the table when I looked down to see this sweet little pin cushion.  I had to take a second "paws" to look at it.

It's the cat's meow.

A Wonderful Gift

A big thank you goes to Ali at Monkey Hands,

http://alichtenstein.typepad.com/monkey_hands/

for this wonderful gift of fabric.  I have so many ideas of what I can make with it.  This fabric includes some Kaffe Fassett fabric which I've never bought.  What a treat to have this in my stash.

Renee S Has New Fabric

Renee S brought home some fabric from the States to show us.  We spent some time looking into other colors that would go with the new fabric.  This is always interesting for me.  We did pick out some colors that would brighten up the plaids, so now she will go shopping to see what she can find.

 

This little panel may make a cute pillow.

A colorful ABC panel will make an adorable child's quilt.

And what to do with these?  I'm sure Renee will come up with something great.

Bryna's Latest Quilt

Bryna has been working on this wonderful quilt that she saw by Mary Johnson at

http://blog.maryquilts.com/2011/07/page/2/

The top is finished except for the borders.  She found it best to paper piece just the stars.  Bryna said the quilt top went together very nicely.  It's a fantastic quilt and very well done.  Great job Bryna.

This is Mary's quilt.

This is Bryna's quilt.

Sara's Mystery Quilt

Sara has shared her mystery quilt with us; and, it is really something special.  It was a kit but not as easy as one might think.  It certainly is a quilt that any man would love.  It has lots of details so a close look is needed to appreciate this labor of love.  Thanks Sara for sharing.  You did a wonderful job.  Now she is on to quilting it.

 

 

 

Bracha's Owl Quilt

Bracha's Owl quilt is ready for quilting.  Everyone likes the quilt and found it interesting to see its development.  Bracha used 2 sided interfacing which I've never used.  I certainly will use it in the future.

Bracha is also starting another project.  Something I find delightful is when the pattern is picked out and everyone has an opinion or suggestions on what fabrics to use.  Of course, each person makes her own decision; but, the process is enjoyable for everyone.

This is Sara and Bracha working out the measurements.

My Bear Paws Quilt Block

I've finished the second block in the series of blocks for the Underground Railroad.  I'm on to the next which is Jacob's Ladder.

A Sailboat Quilt

Susan is working on this red, white and blue sailboat quilt for her new great-grandson.  This is perfect for a new little boy.  She has the fabric for the back panel picked out and now she is busy quilting it.  Red, white and blue always reminds me of the ocean and summertime.
