MORE OUT THE DOOR

I didn't post the pictures here because the quilts don't belong to me but I did manage this weekend to get all 4 of the round robins I had in-house finished and in the mail. I also just finished the top for Auntie Hazel's quilt this week. I hope to get the backing tonight and get it quilted. I'll post that picture as soon as I get if complete. After that - I have no idea what's next. I have a tablerunne swap due out 3/31 then no one is waiting on anything.

I think I'll work on getting al lthe tops quilted. I have a couple for Gaylene, Kathy & Linda as well as my own. Kinda hit a wall as I don't need anymore quilts and don't know anyone that does so why make em.

I'M STILL HERE


Well if you follow my blog by now you're wondering if I'm just sitting home doing nothing. I have been quilting just at a much slower pace as it's tax season once again. That means I usualy sew weekends only. A few weeks ago I did finally finish the baby quilt I had been promising my friend Debbie for her first grandson. I hope they like it. I found it's nicer to make a small one now then larger ones as they grow.

PURSE SWAP


Here's the latest swap out the door. It's a purse going to Australia. It's much bigger than it looks but I had to hold it for pic and made it look little. Uses 3 fat quarters and you can remove it from the metal frame and change to another fabric anytime.

WEDDING QUILTS



I just finished these last night. Bosses daughter got married and I was going to make a queen size and figured if it doesn't match the bedroom people never use so I made two what I call "couch quilts". Of course you need two so they don't have to share. It took every last scrap I had to get 80 blocks. They are all the same color line and I had 10-20 different prints. I tried to use the lighter ones in hers so hope she likes them.

FEBRUARY ROUND ROBINS



Here are 2 more robins I finished this weekend. Both the centers were done by the quilt owners and I was round 1 on each one. I added the paisley on the tan one and the flying geese on the other.
