A Few Quilt Photos To Share

Goodness has it been over two weeks! i swear i need to tie i string on my finger to remind me to post photos on Friday night! Ok that’s not really true, i did think about doing this weeks post Friday why’ll watching some late night tv but i just couldn’t get myself up of the couch to find the laptop! Anyway…

First off is two quilt made by Sue W. The first is a memory/photo quilt in blue. Quilted with a light blue thread with a feather border and windy swirls in the center. Second is a bow tie quilt, quilted with cream and forest green thread with lots and lots of CC!

Here are three photos of a quilt made by Colette F. Sorry i do not know the name of this pattern, but i really like it! i think it would be great made in the Asian prints i have been collecting for a few years now. The quilt was quilted with Mother goose color thread (yes that really is the thread color!) each block was quilted in straight lines going up or down depending on were it fell, giving it a checkerboard effect if that would help explain what i am trying to say! This quilt will be a weeding gift and has the wedding info embroidered on the backing, sorry no photo to post of the back!

Now a couple of photos of Mary H. quilt that was donated to a raffle for a local Relay for Life event. The pattern is called Sweet Sixteen and is free on the Maywood Studio Fabric website. It was quilted with white thread, simple swirls in the nine patch swirl areas, feathered wreath’s in the open white background, a simple swirly border with a little wavy sid to hold the border down. I’m hopping they sell a lot of tickets on this one!

This quilt is a broken Star, made with half square triangles for easy piecing! it also went to a raffle for a Local Relay for Life event over the weekend. I have not heard how much money it made yet but hopflully it did ok! it was made by Geneva H. and was quilted with very simple swirl designs as it was given to me Friday morning and had to be returned that same night by 5:00! yes it was a tossed together quilt on all ends but it turned out ok. Note to my sister— next time you need a raffle quilt give us more than two weeks notice and you’ll get a much better quilt!!!

Now we have three t-shirt quilts from Dolores M. I am not sure if D.M. made them all or if she was just the one to bring them to me for quilting! I know she makes them but i also know she makes the others make there own from time to time! I am only posting close ups of each quilt, You will see some little fuzzy’s sticking around the lettering, just know i did go back and take my tweezers and pull most all of that off before retuning the quilts! I left the fuzzy’s on the photos so the names would stand out more, other wise they tend to blend in and you can not see the quilting! Hey Dolores- do you see my flub in the first photo! Yap i fixed it before i gave it back to you, look close it should stand out like a big number 8!

Well that’s all for now, i promise i will do my best to update again on Friday night!

So much to do so little time!

Only a few days before Paducah! Tonight I took a few minutes to set down and make myself a list of items I need/want to bring along. trust me, without a check off list I would forget everything that I have to have! Also made a list of things I need to buy before I leave. Snack, Drinks, toothbrush holder and a new SD card for my camera. I was able to check off the new laptop batteries as the one that was ordered earlier this week arrived today! You know I never thought that a battery could get so weak that even after a full charge it would only run the laptop for about fifteen minutes! Anyway I need to break out my suitcase tomorrow and let it get a little air. Darn thing hasn’t been out sense this time last year. Better add that to my list of things to do!Anyway I’ve had a productive couple of days so I have some more photos to share! The first is a photo of a quilt made by Carol C. She makes a photo quilt each year for the family reunion and they action/raffle? it off to help pay for supplies and such. The quilting is very simple, keep the cost down makes it easy to make some money on the quilt raffle!

This quilt was sent to my by Pattie L. I’m not sure of the details of the quilt, who made it a so one so I will say she is the owner. Also I have no clue what the name of this pattern is! I’ve been calling it the wavy quilt so I think I will stick with that! It, like most older quilts had a few probable’s, some major fullness being the worst thing to have to deal with. This quilt also has some simple quilting, I jut did a double ribbon, this really helped to ease in some of the extra fullness. There were still some ruff spots but I think it turned out pretty good.

 

The sampler quilt below was made by Vivian H. Vivian always makes nearly perfect quilts! They always lay flat, are pretty darn close to being perfectly straight and are always perfectly pressed! Such a dream to get to quilt! I have only posted on of the photos of the quilt, if you want to see some more of the close ups check out my WebShots April 08 album.

the next two were both made by Rita N. the first is a small log cabin wall quilt. The second is a cute little fussy cut quilt. Check out the squirrels!

   

And finally a quick photo of my official pin picker up-er! I knew there was a reason I bought that magnet!
