Pink and Brown Update

I just realized I never posted the final results of my Tumbler leader/ender project.  It ended up being the main thing and not a L/E project - he,he.
It almost completely fills my design wall and I love it.  AND, I didn't buy a single piece of fabric to make this.  It's all stash, that feels so good.  I also have backing and binding already, so this hopefully will be 100% free!!
After I finished that, I quilted something that has been a flimsy for about 5 years.  So sad.  It's a Christmas quilt that my sister put together. It's done in the "One of a Kind" technique. 

It's done now and has the binding on.  When she finishes that I'll get it back for a complete picture. This feels so good and it's only October!!
We've had the remnants of Patrica so it's been raining here for three days.  Hope you're warm and dry where ever you are.
Happy stitching. 
Karen

Yep, raining here too! Good for you on the tumblers completely from the stash. That must feel good. I like the feathers you are quilting, very pretty!

WOW, your tumblers came together so quickly! And I love that you were able to work totally from your stash - such a great feeling. Your Christmas quilt is sweet too, and well ahead of deadline. Good for you!

So delighted to see your stash tumblers. I am now adding borders to mine, and I can't wait to cuddle up in it.
