What a gorgeous past few days here!! We had a perfect weekend; and right up to now is beautiful...Now it is hot, but I am loving the sunshine; though I guess it is leaving us for a bit of rain. I do not mind because a little rain will clear the air and water my gardens.
This weeks WIPs are few....not because I am not working, but I am finishing.....yay!!!!!
Since last week, I finished hand quilting the Fishing Lodge theme quilt....calling it Gone Fishin....
This picture is not a good one...but after I hand sew the binding on; I will take a much better pic outside.
I made my project for Stamp On It blog hop......which has started today also; check it out.
I have started hand quilting this commissioned quilt.....
This lady does exceptional piecing!!!!!
I quilted this table topper.....called Chimes on Tiara today. Have to bind it yet.
I have joined the Christmas in July blog hop....and a couple of QALs....I know!!!!!!!
And besides that; I have my list from last week waiting to be quilted and one more commissioned one on the way. But I love it!!!!!!
I know there are a lot of pictures in this post....but I can now show you the Memory Quilts that I did for the graduate; since the ceremony was last week...This first one was actually made by our graduating class; back when they were in grade 1. Their teacher kept it and gave it to her great niece; who was in her class that year. The students used crayon to make their blocks with their names on it....the teacher put the quilt top together and I hand quilted it for her this spring. Here it is!!!!
As always; I am linking up to Monika and Lee; you need to take a look....great work going on.

And the second memory quilt....this one I made for the graduate/pieced and quilted it.
This is done with photos on printable fabric. The quilt is in her school colors....she was into basketball big time...so it focused on that.

Fun memory quilts. That's awesome that the teacher kept the blocks the kids created!

ReplyDeleteI almost missed what I came to see...your Stamp It Up project but I found it buried in the middle of all your other projects. You do keep busy. Where is your list of other Stamp It Up Quilters on deck for today? I get lost so easily these days. Keep up the good work!
