We had a great day yesterday at our annual mystery lock in. There were 58 ladies there sewing, chatting and eating!
Here is this years quilt. I named it “Summer Breeze”
Here’s Sharon’s quilt. She changed hers just a bit, by putting the dark around the center square.
We had lots of quilts shown that ladies made last year. Show and tell is always great!!
That’s it for now. Have a good day!!

It’s done!! I finished the binding yesterday and we slept under it last night. This is the first time I’ve finished my lock in quilt BEFORE the lock in!! last year I was sewing down the binding while keeping it hidden from the ladies while they worked on theirs. My husband said he sure slept good under the new quilt! 🙂
I’ll post pictures on Saturday.

I finished the binding on this quilt today, so I can mark it off my UFO list. Yea!!
That makes 3 UFO’s finished so far this year.
I made this quilt as a BOM at my LQS. I decided to do the red one since I don’t have any red quilts. After making this one I remembered why I don’t own any red quilts………….I really can’t stand the color red!!
I planned on doing some pretty custom quilting on it, but I didn’t want to waste any more time on something that I don’t like, So it got a quick panto design. I am sooo glad it’s done!
It always feels good to finish a quilt. 🙂
Even though I named this one Fugly! LOL!!

Maria shared this picture of a quilt she quilted after taking my feather class. She did a fantastic job!!
Way to go Maria!

Shame on me. I’m falling behind on keeping up here. I can only show what’s on Viqtoria. (Millie has Sharon’s mystery lock in quilt for this year, so no peeking on it.)
Here’s what I took off earlier. It’s for a 13 year old.
It has like a minky on the back. Soft!!
That’s what I’m working on. What about you? Anything fun?
Have a good day!

My friend Barb was one of my students last week. I stopped by her house today so she could show me what she did after class.
When she got home after class, she had 2 small wall hangings that were ready to be quilted, so she decided to quilt feathers on them.
This one has a continuous feather going through the background, crossing the quilt diagonally.
On this one she freehanded the feathered wreath, filling the square, and then running a continuous feather across the quilt through the triangle blocks.
I think she did a great job!!
Now back to work for me.
Have a great day!

Today was the first day for my feather class. I’ve had numerous quilters ask me about teaching a feather class, so I figured I could try. We had a 4 hour hands on class. I think everyone was pleased with all the knowledge they got from class. I was a bit nervous that I wouldn’t have enough for them to do for 4 hours, but wow the time flew by fast. They all seemed pleased with all the knowledge they learned. I think I’ll have to schedule more classes. 🙂
My first students.
Now I need to get back to my quilting.
Have a great day!

Here’s what I did today. If you’ve read some of my previous posts, you know that I absolutely LOVE quilting feathers.
So today I quilted feathers! 🙂
You may not think it’s all that cool, but I do…… I wasn’t sure how it was going to come out when I started quilting it. I think it took about an hour or so to quilt the whole thing. I did McTavishing behind the feathered hearts. Once again, I didn’t know how it would come out. I knew I didn’t want to rip any of the stitches out once I did them. I freehanded all of it. So I got what I got. As for the size of it…………….
Here it is……….
That’s it for now! Have a great day!

I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday. Time goes fast!! Anyway, here’s what I’m working on today.
Viqtoria is working away on this one.
I like using this circular design on quilts with lots of squares.
Meanwhile, over on Millie, I have a cute quilt with lots of appliqué.
Quilts like this always take me foreevvveeerrr, because I debate on what to do with each section. Ugh!
Ok, that’s it, back to work here…….
Have a good one!
Theresa
Yea!! I finished the binding on this one. My hope is to get at least one UFO done each month. So far I’m 2 for 2 this year!!
I bought this quilt top off of eBay several years ago. I finally just put it on the machine and did a panto on it. It’s one of those carry around in the car quilts. 🙂 nothing fancy but great in an emergency!! I’m glad it’s done!! Now I have to decide next months UFO……
