Monday again? Already?? Wow……
I guess I did get a lot done last week. I finished bindings on 3 of my own quilts, quilted several customer quilts, got the borders sewn on a quilt top and pieced another quilt too. Whew! That’s a lot for me!!
Here’s the batik one that I got borders added onto. It’s now ready to quilt.

I am having so much fun playing around with strips of fabric, I decided to look for some fabric to cut into strips and I came across this pretty cardinal fabric that I bought years ago.

It was too pretty to cut into small pieces, so I never used it in anything. When I saw it last night…….. hmm…….I wonder if………

So I cut into it, added strips, and came up with this.

Another strip quilt. Less than 2 hours to cut it out and piece the top! I like that! It just needs borders now. I have plenty of the cardinal fabric, so I’ll add a wide border of it. Woohoo! Using my stash! And having fun doing it!

Anyway, that’s what’s on my design wall today. To see more walls check out http://www.patchworktimes.com

How Great Thou Art Quilt

On By alwaysquiltsIn machine quilting, quilts2 Comments

The first Saturday of each month, I go to my LQS for Saturday Sampler. Last month one of the ladies that was there, asked me if I would quilt a couple of quilts for her. I told her I could and she said she’d bring them with her today. Well, she brought the quilts in and had some pictures of how she wanted one of them quilted. The quilt pattern is one of Deanna Hodson’s designs. She took several pictures of Deanna’s quilt because she just loved the way it was quilted. She was showing me all these closeup pictures and I finally started snickering and told her that “I think I can quilt it just like Deanna’s since I was the one that quilted Deanna’s” we both started laughing then!
Here are a few shots of Deanna’s quilt.

Wow, I can’t believe it’s already December. Time flies!
I don’t have much on my wall this week. I started cutting out the blocks for my next quilt I want to make.

It looks rather boring at this stage, but wait till I get the blocks finished! I think it’s going to look great!! I hope so anyway. It looks good on paper! LOL!!

That’s it for my wall, I better get back to quilting. To see more walls check out http://www.patchworktimes.com
Have a good day!
