UFO finished

On March 4, 2012March 7, 2012 By alwaysquiltsIn Blogroll, Hobbies, Home and Garden, machine quilting, quilts1 Comment

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!!

What’s on the machine 2/29

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 students work

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!

Feather class

On February 18, 2012February 24, 2012 By alwaysquiltsIn Hobbies, machine quilting2 Comments

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!

Wholecloth quilt

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!

What’s on the machine Wednesday? 1/11/12

Since I am going to try to post more often. I thought I would share what’s on the machine on Wednesdays. This is what’s on Viqtoria, I shrunk the pantograph down to 5″ and I put it between the rows. I took part of the pantograph and am placing it between the blocks. It’s a sunflower pantograph and we thought since this is a Kansas quilt that would be great on it. After I finish that I will put it over on Millie to do the blocks.

I am still working on this one.It’s been on and off Millie numerous times so while I have a little time I am working more on it.

Ending the year busy

I’ve spent the whole day in my workroom! So far I’ve cut out a new quilt. Here’s the fabric I’m using for it.

I hope it looks good after I get it done. I’m writing the pattern for it as I work on it. That takes a lot more thinking! Step one is done so far, the cutting!! Now off to the next step……

I decided to put one of my UFO’s on Viqtoria. I finished 14 of my UFO’s in 2011. I’m so happy about that!! I hope to get lots more done in 2012. I figured I could start the new year off with one quilted. That’s one step closer to getting it off my UFO list.

I’m using a panto that’s quilting really fast. I’m not sure what the name is, it’s the first time I’ve used this pattern.

I have a custom job on Millie, I can’t show it.

I can show the quilt top that I finished a while back. LOL! I don’t think I ever posted a picture after I got all the borders done. Here it is…..

That’s it for now. Hopefully next year I will keep up with blogging a little more often. I seem to go in spurts! Oh well, have a safe and happy new year!
