The Middle of December Already

This baby quilt was for my newest great-nephew. I finally got it totally finished, label and all, and delivered over the weekend. The pattern is from the book Sew Simple Pineapple by Karin Hellaby. 

 Remember this quilt? It was my UFO for September. Kari is that special person to receive this quilt. Do you see the label pinned onto the front? Yes, I still have the quilt and I need to get that sewn on the back. Maybe I will get it on today.

I decided that for Christmas I would make a quilt for my son's girlfriend. 

I got this quilt started the week after Thanksgiving when my husband was in Pennsylvania deer hunting. It is the same pattern like this one. Her favorite color is green. This quilt is made from many different greens from my stash. I used green where the other one is white and I used white where the other one is orange. I do have the top done but have not taken a picture. Hopefully I will be quilting it soon. 

Could This Be Me?

Today I was taking a break and catching up on some quilting blogs. I saw this comic here and just HAD to post it!

This was a good week for using up stash. I decided to make a quilt for a Christmas gift. While I was at it, I thought I would make one just like it for me too. I hope to get it quilted very soon and will post pictures then.

Star Full Of Feathers

I got finished quilting Kathy's quilt in plenty of time for Christmas.

I am not sure what the pattern is, but I would consider it a take on a lone star.

Kathy wanted feathers and I just LOVE it when a customer wants feathers.

It also seems like when I have a quilt with feathers that I take way too many pictures of it.

The quilting really does show up pretty nicely on it.

Are you tired of looking at it yet?

Not me.

The quilting looks good on the back too.

You could almost reverse it and use it as a whole cloth quilt.

Did I tell you that I LOVE feathers?

I am now working on some things for Christmas. I probably will not be quilting for a while but I will be sewing on my domestic machine.

Customer's Quilt

This is Chris's quilt. 

Once again I did the freehand feather swirl thing.

Lucille's Quilt

This large quilt was made by Lucille for a gift.

I am in love with this quilt, so there are a lot of pictures.

I love the soft colors and the quilting really shows up nicely.

Lucille asked for feathers so she got lots of feathers.

I love quilting feathers!
