WIP Wednesday

       

Hello everyone....this has been a great week. I managed to get a lot accomplished.
My WIPs this week are as follows:
Finished.....hand quilting the last customer quilt needed for Christmas
 As you can probably tell; this is for a graduate...my old school!!!!!

I literally finished this about 20 minutes ago...wanted it on this post.

Next on the list this week is the last block for the 'About a Quilt' QAYGQAL...that is a mouthful...lol

And last but not least....my first queen size quilt quilted on  my new Tiara!!!!!! Drum roll, please....hahaha
This is kind of a funky quilt for me; not my type of color or quilting, but I had a blast with it.
The quilting process couldn't have gone better...and only took about 4-41/2 hours altogether. I did it in quarters.
Sorry this pic is on an angle...the light was so poor on this dull day; I tried to keep the glare off of it.

 close up of the meandering and loopy flower....
and the back....this really has a fine print on it, but hard to see...
I have to say....I was expecting stress quilting this; as I am a hand quilter, but it went so well. There wasn't a glitch with Tiara or tension or fabric. Very satisfying...

Besides these projects...I have my 'For the Boys' piece ready and will be posting it tomorrow.
I will be putting the cross stitch quilt in to hand quilt in a day or two.  Pictures then...
I am just about ready for the 'Black Tie' Hop ...working on a couple of little things with my sewing buddies.
And the Churn Dash; of course...which is done on a monthly bases. 
I am linking up to Monika and Lee     , take a look.
Thanks for reading my blog...love having all of you here with me.
