A Starry Night

This VanGogh quilt belongs to Sally. She wanted feather ovals in the open areas and then fill in with feathers, so that is what she got. I love feathers and I love doing feathers.

This circle quilt is for one of the ladies that works at JoAnns that has cancer.

This week I have also been trying to get ready for retreat and attempting to finish up my UFO for February.

Packing Today

My husband brought in some zucchini from his garden last evening so first thing this morning I made zucchini bread. Then I went up in the attic and dug out some stuff for my son. I wanted to get up there before it got too hot.

After that I went outside to take some pictures of the quilts I did this week. I did them at the beginning of the week but hadn't gotten them outside to take their pictures. So here they are.

The tumbling block quilt is one that I started in 2006 in a class by Deb Tucker. Yes, I got one of my UFOs done. When I started it brown and green were not as popular as they are now and I had trouble finding a fabric that I liked for the border. So, the fabric I did use in the border is a decorator fabric. I think it works great.

The angel quilt is a comfort quilt. My guild, 7-Sisters, makes and gives quilts to people with illnesses in our community and others that we know. This particular quilt is for someone that I know in PA that has cancer.

Now the rest of my day will be spent getting things ready to move to my son's new house.

Comfort Quilts

Finally, I am having a very productive week. I quilted several comfort quilts for the 7 Sisters Quilt Guild. A few weeks ago we identified 4 women in our community dealing with health issues, some of them with cancer. Here are 3 of those quilts. (I forgot to take a picture of one of them.)

This year, 2010, Easton Maryland is celebrating 300 years as a town. The Bayside Quilters are making a quilt for this occasion. I have been a part of this committee. The quilt came to me on Monday. I spent 2 days quilting it. We still need to add some appliquéd flowers and bind it. The quilt will be officially presented to the town at the April guild meeting. This quilt is an outstanding piece of work. I will post a picture after the presentation.

I am now quilting my UFO for March. I should have it complete with pictures tomorrow.
