Some recent quilts I have quilted.
February 5, 2010
This quilt is one of my quilts. Debbie and I did this as a Block of the Month a few years ago. She of course got hers finished and quilted long before now……Anyway I quilted this quilt with swirls, leaves and lots and lots of wonky feathers.
This quilt belongs to my friend Connie. It took me a while to build up my confidence up to quilting this quilt. Anyway, I quilted it with wonky feathers in the borders and the large rectangles. And swirls in the little border and in the star and I echoed around all the applique. .
Here’s a picture of the whole quilt. I love the way that it turned out. The quilt is beautiful, I love the star and the thread that Connie picked out was lovely.
This quilt was designed, pieced and appliqued by Linda, for the one of her parishioners. She did a great job, and it was fun to quilt.
Here’s some of the quilts, I have been working on.

Route 66
October 13, 2009
Jennifer’s Aunts have written a new quilt book, “Get Your Stitch on Route 66: Quilts from the Mother Road” by Christina DeArmond, Eula Lang, and Kaye Spitzli. I haven’t done any hand work in long time, probably 5 or 6 years anyway. But, this book made me want to pick it up again. I think part of my reasoning for not doing it is because my Mom did such beautiful work, and I want for mine to be as beautiful. This book is fun and I would like to make a quilt for my Father-in-law because he loves Route 66. I have one of the stitching blocks done and can hardly stand it that I have worked on a block since the plane ride home from Houston. *sigh* ![1251386237_Route66300[1]](http://www.quiltshopcorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/1251386237_Route663001.jpg "1251386237_Route66300[1]")

So, we really didn’t make it much past the pictoral quilts……Here’s a few of them.
Fire and Ice.
In the Beginning.
The great crate escape.
Morning Has Broken.
Autumn’s Palette
Trees Up Lights On.
October 4, 2009
This quilt is from the “trees up lights on” class we had at the shop. Mary Bordeaux finished piecing her top, and I got it quilted yesterday. It is a fun quilt with some fun quilting,
Great job Mary, the quilt is wonderful!
Nothing like a quilt show for a little motivation.

This is a buck a block that Beth and I signed up for in 2007. We actually signed up for both versions. The batik and the floral one. We did finish getting the top pieced in early 2008. Beth got hers quilted a couple of months ago and I just got mine done this week, so that I could get it into the quilt show, which is the 16th and 17th of October. Nothing like coming in just under the wire.
Here’s a close up of the suns. I love the suns they turned out wonderfully. I’m not sure I love the swirl echos in the sashing, but I really couldn’t think of what else to do. I do love the lime green thread.
Margaret wold be proud of me for quilting my name into the quilt.
Celebrating the Fruit Lady Challenge.

Here is a close up of my quilting, swirls with a glittery thread.
Here’s my fruilt lady challenge quilt. I have been wanting to try some wonky piecing, and this gave me the oportunity to give it a whirl.
Here is the close up of Debbie’s quilting. I love it.
Here’s a close of Debbie’s fruit ladies, she wanted to make hers look like a beach towel, in keeping with the beach towels on the fruit ladies.
Debbie and I met half way between Woodstock and Augusta, in Madison. And showed each other our challenge quilts. They were very different and very fun.
Nine-Nine-oh Nine.

My friend Pam has a friend named Mary whose birthday is September 9th. She has been looking forward to her 9-9-9 birthday. Pam made Mary the ultimate nine patch quilt. A Sudoko quilt done in GEORGIA colors. I quilted it for her about a month ago, but she asked me to wait to post the quilt until today. Here it is Happy Birthday Mary!
I quilted it with red thread with UGA and “go dawgs” in the stippling.
Today is also my friend Linda’s birthday, Happy Birthday to you too Linda!
A friendly Challenge.
September 1, 2009
The last time Debbie was up for a visit she brought some Fruit Lady fabric from a project she did for a customer. So, in the spirit of the fun fruit ladies we decided to make a challenge of using the fabric and making it into a quilt.
The rules, the size of the quilt is not to be bigger than 18×25. We then picked these fat quarters to use in the quilt. Don’t they look delicious?
Last week as part of my fabric therapy (when I had bronchitis) I sat at my machine and “worked” on it. It has been fun. The reveal is on Sept. 21st which is close to the last day of summer. I can’t wait to see Debbie’s and celebrate the end of summer!
Look what I found today.

We were digging in some stuff today, looking for Drew’s immunization records. Anyway we dug out an old trunk that had the top to our wedding cake, my cap and gown, a couple of my Grandmother’s aprons, a few pieces of Robert’s Grandmother’s china and a quilt top that I assume was my Grandmother’s on my Mom’s side of the family. Honestly I don’t even remember getting it or putting it in the trunk. But, it is a wonderful find. It is nothing special except it was my Granny’s. The last quilt tops that I had was before I had the HQ and I had to send them off to be quilted. I am looking forward to quilting this one myself. So, another quilt to add to the queue.
