sisters & chains

Hi all,
Here is a beautiful red & white Irish Chain, this was pieced by my sister Patty.
Patty got carried away making blocks this quilt was huge 120 x 122.

I worked a lot of late nights and a couple of long weekend, but I got it done and Patty got it bound to be in our guild quilt show next weekend. I was literally chained to the machine to get this one done, gotta love your sisters and I do love mine.

Its been a while

I'ts been a while so I think it is time for a new post. Here is what is on the frame today, a little bit of Christmas in April.
First is a ,log cabin wreath this is my Mom's and has been hanging around way to long. It will be on the frame for a few more hours I need to re-time my machine.

Next is a snowman quilt, this came off the frame this morning, it's cute primitive looking, a simple snowflake edge to edge, and it's done.
The coal and carrot pieces were raw edge and zig zagged down not close enough to the edges, I had to glue stick them down to keep them from flipping over when quilting.

Friday Night Sew In

Well its midnight here, sister Patty & I had a great night, she was able to piece the back for her red & white Irish Chain, and I was able to piece the top for my class at MQX next month.
I still have to add the borders but I am please with what I was abel to accomplish tonight.
Here is the top I will be doing the machine quilting on this in Ronda Beyers class, I can hardly wait.

Good Night all.

Spring cleaning & a BIG THANK YOU

Spring Cleaning and a BIG THANK YOU

I am in the process of Spring Cleaning today, started in the kitchen and I am half way done. Don't you always feel better when you get that big cleaning done.
As I was doing my cleaning and looking around for something springy to display, I saw these lovelies, the heart, crochet hat and nightlight as well as the two beautiful button cards were part of a give away at Blushing Rose, Marydon is such a generous lady, check out her blog it is very nice. Thank You Marydon for the gifts, they are being used and enjoyed. The heart is one of the first things people will see when they come up the stairs, I hope the pause to read the card attached as the poem is very touching.

Thanks again & happy spring.

whats on the frame?

Here is what I am working on this week, a nice stack and wack quilt made by one of my customers.

I hope to have this completed by the weekend, I still have 2 quilts to do for our guild show in April, and about a half dozen others to complete. I will be attending the MQX quilt show this April, I will be taking a class from Ronda Beyer, I can't wait, but I still need to finish piecing and sid this top for the class. The stress is starting to settle in good thing I work well under pressure!  What have you all been up to?
