A table runner & a wall hanging



First up, a fun table runner.


This quilt is my customers very first quilt.


I think she did great!


 Can't wait to see what she makes next.

Oak leaves

 Just in time for the Thanksgiving table!


 Sue's table runners are going home today. 


Yet another "someday" project to add to my list.


 Aren't they pretty?  I love the variety of colors.


 The sun came out!

On the longarm today

I finally loaded my granddaughter Morgan's quilt tonight.  


Good thing, her birthday is next Tuesday.  


I'm still in love with this animal fabric, but wow this is one LOUD quilt, lol.

Betsy's T-shirt quilt

When I get in a fun T-shirt quilt like this it makes me sad I didn't do this for my kids.  I love how bright and happy this one is.

Chevron

While cleaning out some pictures from my phone I found a few "blurry" quilts from last month.  Here's the first one.  


So sad the pictures came out so bad.


I love a good chevron and this ones a beauty =)

The bridge man begins

I'm finally ready to start piecing the bridge man.  Woo hoo!


 What started out as a very organized process soon became a mess on top of a step ladder.  With one very precariously perched lamp for light.  Did I mention he's on a temporary design wall that is starting to fall down?  900 little squares barely hanging on for dear life.  I need to get this pieced before he dies a slow death on my floor. 


And the leftovers....yes the left overs.  Unfortunately I had to cut up an entire yard of fabric into 2" squares before I would know if it would work or not.  I'm guessing I have a few thousand squares left over.  I see one ...or more gray quilts with small squares in my future.  Hmmm, with red crosses??

He started out with over 1,500 squares but I edited him a bit .....after arranging him 3 times and then pulling him down and starting over.   Glad I made the changes and tossed the pattern I spent months making.  Eyeballing the picture was so much easier for me and my "can't follow the rules" brain.

So where is he?  My friend and I agreed to not look at each others quilts until they are finished and ready to turn in.   And besides I go from liking him, to nervous laughter, to oh my gosh he is hideous I can't show this to anyone!!   But all in all "Bob" is growing on me =)   Hahahahaha, oh the joys of a good quilt challenge!

Just off the frame!

Carol's leaves!  I love Carol's color combinations and placement.  This was a fun one to work on.  Lots of thread changes but worth the cleaner look.  Lynn's just arrived in the mail and has a completely different look to it.  ......Coming soon =)


The only request for the quilting on Brenda's quilt was to keep it geometric, no feathers.  Straight lines and curves it is! 


And finally remember this one from yesterday?  I can't believe I let it go without final pictures.  I loved some of the fabrics (kimonos) in this one.  The outer border was perfect with hints of red.
