Two pretties that I got quilted this week. The Sue and Sam quilt is the first quilt this lady has made. I expect a lot more as it turned out very pretty. The repo quilt is just amazing over the whole quilt I'd say she was 1/4 inch off square. Very well made and a pleasure to quilt.

No wonder my flowers are doing so poorly. One doe in the yard and one wondering about getting in. Their fawns are nearby. Still have their spots. At least they do not have triplets again.

Another finish. One more to do. Then I hope I'm done for awhile.

This is a picture of a new friend Cheryl and Pat. Taken in June at a sewing retreat in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Fun was had by all who attended. Cheryl was my roommate and Pat supplied us with sweet treats.

This was our sewing table Cheryl in back Thelma and Myrna in foreground.

Next is our instructor showing how to make a bag. Mine is not done maybe someday.

Grandaughters quilt

My first grandbaby got married last month and her shower is this weekend. The last stitch was put in today. I only had 19 years to get this ready. Its not the quilt I want to make for her but it was one that was ready to put on the frame. Her greatgrandmother and I made it so its special.

Uiva's quilt

Uiva's quilt. Isn't it cute.

It is a small child quilt.

The second picture has the back folded over and shows the label I made her.

Some finished work

Its always good to get them done and to their owners.

Paula's bird quilt

Finished this one tonight after work. I've worked on it for three days. But its done. To the owner tomorrow.

Paula

I made the contest

I thought It would look better right side up. I'm entered in a contest with this quilt. Wish me luck.

I was only able to make the deadline by being off the last two days. Back to work tomorrow.

Butterfly Dreams quilt

Its finished all except for the quilting. It sure is loud. I wonder what its saying. I bet one thing is I'm upside down. Help.

More butterfly progress

Progress it's all one piece now. I'm going to start on the borders now.

I'm thinking Batik's and narrow black or narrow black, batik's and black with smaller butterflys then a wider back. Too many options.

I finished another customer quilt and delivered it today. It sure was big. It hung over this queen size bed about two foot on the other side.

She only recently started quilting however she had always sewn. Age 82.

Butterfly progress

Progress on my applique butterfly quilt. I'm liking it.

A customers quilt I finished yesterday.

On my day off

Today was a day off work so I loaded this and got it finished. 4 more to go then I can start on mine.

Customer said we decided to get grandma's quilt top quilted. After I repaired and ironed it I was surprised at how lovely it was. All hand quilted. I'm curious to what the reaction will be.

Paula

Paula's quilt that I quilted today. A big one Dwarf's my queen bed.

My Bear's in the Cabin is coming along even tho I don't have much time to work on it. Surprising how much you can get done in 15 minutes.

Finally done. Boy has this past two weeks been hectic. Life sure gets in the way of quilting.

Mom's friend was rushed to the hospital in Oklahoma City and she needed to go and see about him. So two hours to her house then two hours to Ok C. Anyway I wanted to see him also. He is home after 5 day stay.

Then we went to Joplin Mo Two hours drive to see my best friend who is now hairless after starting radiation treatments. She asked me to make her some head wraps which I'm glad to be able to do. She called tonight and said it fit. Plus working 5 days a week. No wonder I'm tired.

The piecing relax's me.

Laynee's quilt

I got one finished today. This is a present for a three year old little

girl. I stitched the giraff on the backing itself also the words.

Ugly Fabric & design wall

A friend ask me if I had a design wall and I answered no. But then sure I do. When next I needed one to figure out placement on this baby blanket, DH was still sleeping in the bed/design thing since it was 4-30 am I looked around and spied my board that is used to inlarge my ironing board (big board). Its only covered in cotton not flannel but they are holding on without pinning.

The fabric was in a friends stash that I inherited. I don't do blue so considered it ugly but needed a baby blanket and then there was this left over bunch from the DD quilt. I'll have to make 4 more of the gold brown. I found some red with baby chicks for the sashing. I guess this will be a stashbusting project since I have everything I need. Even the backing and batting, which I'll piece from left overs. I'm feeling smug about this project. And no I still have not gotten the borders on the DD.

This is a project that I put up because I couldn't figure out how I wanted to lay it out. I guess I need a design wall or EQ6. Probably won't get either one.

The butterflys are from HIA and are really beautiful. The black and white fabric has butterflys on it. I looked for fabric that would show some movement but I didn't see it.

Half Square Triangles done

I finished trimming all the half square triangles.

It looks like a lot more than 192. We shall see.
