Bound to Help

Welcome to Treadlestitches!


I am so lucky!  Like many of you, I belong to a quilt group that really cares about making quilts for people in need.  We work together in all the stages--donating, collecting and storing fabric, designing and cutting out blocks, piecing, quilting, and binding.  This month my "homework" was binding a small stack of quilts.


You might remember the first two quilts.  I showed them here when they were twin-sized tops I had made from my scraps.  Now the lovely ladies have quilted them.  Didn't they do a nice job?


Here's the back, two lengths of older but sturdy fabric.


And here's this one, made from Bonnie Hunter's Scrappy Mountain Majesties pattern.


Again, nice simple quilting, which really makes such a difference.


Isn't this a pretty backing?  It goes so well with the front.

I loved finishing these two especially, since I started them.  They're kind of like "my" quilts, and I like knowing how they turned out.

There were two more to bind that were made by other group members, and it was fun to finish them, too.


Here's a great idea for a scrap quilt--16 small squares surrounded by a narrow border.  The borders alternate between white and bright green.

There are some fun fabrics in here!

Here's the floral back.

The last one is a crib sized quilt (and you know how much I love baby quilts!).

 The back is a doggie print.


Cute fabrics!  This would be an easy way to put them together, and kids would love it.

Speaking of cute ...

yeah, I couldn't resist, I had to pose Baby Buddy on the quilt.  He's seven months old now, and growing every day.  (BTW, his shirt says New to the Crew).

What about the Rainbow Scrap Quilts?  I have been doing a little work on them too.

I know, the color for October is yellow, which is great, but my Shoofly quilt needed brown instead, so I made these blocks.


One of my old favorite fabrics is in here--millennium fabric from the year 2000.

And here's one of my newer favorites--Lady Liberty (aka Columbia) waving the flag.

Now that all the blocks are done, I'm getting them together.

I'm going to quilt them in three separate pieces, and then add the borders.

The pieced Shoofly blocks are set with this paisley fabric.  A couple of years ago I attended a lecture on paisley by fabulous quilt historian, judge, and appraiser Carol Butzke.  That same day I bought this fabric.  I knew I would use it for this quilt back in January when I started making the blocks.

The pears and apples and applesauce are canned now, and we can enjoy them all through the winter.

I'm not looking forward to winter weather, but I'm getting ready for it anyway.  We just have to get through whatever comes, and it's best to be prepared.
It might be time to start knitting some wool socks again.
Take your vitamins, wear your mask, and stay safe!

Thanks for reading,

    2. I purchased Human PapillomaVirus (HPV) herbal remedy from Dr Idedia, it really helped me. I was diagnosed with HPV, I had HPV, my condition worsened and the doctors could not help me, the antibiotics prescribed stopped working, it was a terrible experience i had, so i reached out for an alternative treatment. My co-worker who had initially bought herbal remedy from Dr Idedia referred me to Dr Idedia for help. I contacted him via his website and purchased the HPV herbal remedy, i immediately commenced usage as soon as i received it, it worked miraculously, I did promised i will post my experience as many forums as possible if i am cured.
      contact him on his email dr.idediatraditionalhealinghome@gmail.com +2349074505296.)

  2. Fun to see the quilts you're finishing for your guild's donation program, Sylvia! There are so many great scrappy ideas out there. I love the shoofly blocks with that paisley fabric! Looks like you picked the perfect colors for the shoofly blocks. On the Front Range of N Colorado we are actually praying for snow to come tonight to help with the terrible fires that have been burning for so long. Otherwise, I would not be looking forward to it either!

  19. FINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUSI thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had Herpes virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I Came across testimonies of some people of how DR Ebhota cure them from Herpes, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you Dr Ebhota because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through the same situation worry no more and contact DR Ebhota viadrebhotasolution@gmail. com or WhatsApp him via +2348089535482.he also special on curing 1. HIV/AIDS2. HERPES 3.

  27. I GOT CURED OF HERPES WITH THE HELP OF DR OGU I Am from North Carolina, United State. I caught genital herpes from my ex boyfriend who never had any symptoms of herpes . I had it for 4 years ,and it has literally affected my life before I got cured. People think herpes is really a minor skin irritation, herpes has long term effects on health. The stigma attached to this virus by ignorant people is ridiculous. Most people have herpes in one form or another but they might not be aware of it. I would like to advise people on how I got rid of my herpes by using Dr OGU herbal medicine. I saw a comment posted by a woman from Germany on the internet that she got rid of her herpes with the help of doctor OGU. I was so happy when I saw that post. i quickly collected the doctor OGU contact email and I emailed him. Within 1 hr he responded to my email. i explained things to him and he told me not to worry that he will help me. i ordered for his medicine product which was sent to me via DHL. that was how i got the herbal medicine and i used it as i was told for the period of 6 days which is twice a day ( morning and at night before going to bed) .after 8 days, i found out that the herpes was no more and this was also confirmed by my doctor. if you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cure, kindly contact doctor OGU Patrick via this email ; drogugusolutionhome@gmail.com or text him via: +1 719 629 0982 .
