Almost does not count

Two more side strips then on to the borders.
Behind my design wall there is a closet. This is the only wall I have in my sewing room that does not have a window or door. How do you like my invention?  It works. On the right is my works in progress or should I say forgotten projects.

Clue 5 done

Clue 5 done labeled and put with the other clue's till Friday when Bonnie gives us another clue. I really thought that this week we would be building a block but I guess I was wrong. To see the link up of all the builders go here .

 

While waiting for the next clue I've been working on this for a friend half way done with the blocks about ready to start putting them together.

I just had the most wonderful Christmas with my family. 2014 Christmas was magic.

I am very much enjoyed this year's mystery by Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville.BlogSpot.com. But then I've enjoyed every pattern that I've made of Bonnies and that is several. Here is my progress.

 

Go here if you would like to see what others have posted /mystery-monday-link-up-part-4

Maybe this Friday we will make blocks. Who know's it's a mystery.

Want to see other's progress. Go here then http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2014/12/mystery-monday-link-up-part-3.html

Bonnie's mystery 2014

Oh how I love Bonnie's designs.

 I'm ready to link up Monday to http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2014/12/mystery-monday-link-up-part-1.html  

Why have I not posted? Well I've been busy.

 

 

A new friend contacted me and asked me to make her a quilt. I did and had so much fun. She sent the fabrics and paid me also. Looking forward to more good times with her.

 

 

My favorite block

 

what I'm working on and stash

Here is a quilt I've been working on for at least 9 years. Lets get it finished. Well maybe I will.

I was torn between the gold and the green print for borders but this picture tells me I need the print.

This one only needs small borders to stop the eye and it will be ready to quilt.

My stash tubs I keep 1.5 inch, 2, 2.5 strips. Also 1.5, 2, 2.5 & 3.5 blocks.

My stash closet. Just a messed up bunch of fabrics that I got on sale I also see some silk on top.

 

More blocks made

Wanting to make a wall hanging or throw out of these.

What I'm working on

I've had these stitched out for awhile now its time to make something with them.

Wall hanging for quilting room

I've had this for awhile years really finally got tired of the clutter in the sewing room and finished it. It really brightens things up.

label for quilt

Before binding my newly finished quilt I made a label. Here is the finished quilt and label.

I wanted to say again Thank You Bonnie Hunter for sharing your talent with us and all your patience. We (I) do love your patterns. Shirley

 

I always enjoy a finish

This is a picture of a quilt I started around Thanksgiving 2013 and finished last night. Bonnie Hunter Quiltville.com had a mystery I do love them. Over 2,000 people and I made this quilt. Thank you Bonnie I love it.

Sold a quilt

A customer brought a quilt top to me to quilt and her mother came

I showed them my quilts and she said this one needs to go home with me. So it did. Mark it sold.

Celtic Soltice progress

Rows 1 & 2 together and row 3 ready to attach I still have some blocks to make but I have to stop and do some quilting for customers

Too see more quilts that are being made with this pattern go to

Bonnies site Lots of quilts to see some in other colors.

Finished Easy Street

I just noticed I did not take a picture of this finished. I'll get a new picture.

My aunt Jean took a class and did the blue background piece. She sent it to me and said "I never want to see that again"  I put the geese flying around and the daisy border on it quilted and bound it then

 politely sent it back to her. She loves it and has it hanging on her wall.

Bonnies site

This is a quilt that I made and gave to my son and daughterinlaw Machine embroidery on cotton with wool felt I used a thin batting with a minkee like backing.  Quilted it on the longarm. This is at my daughters house and I also made the quilt behind them.

My son Kevin and his great niece She didn't want great grandma to hold her. 4 months old and has an attitude.
