Hello everyone...been a couple of weeks since I posted.  Life gets in the way sometimes, but today I had a nice productive day! Time to show what I am working on...

Last time, I had just started this quilt...I am now 3/4 finished hand quilting it.
This morning, I finished machine quilting this one....bound it after supper.
Another view...I quilted this by the block and did a little ruler work around the blocks.
Another block...
Border...
This is actually a chartreuse green..like celery on the back, but lighting is not helping.

Here is one of the rows on the nail polish quilt top....
Well...part of a row. I am appliqueing purses and boots on the alternating blocks.
And this is a little I Spy quilt ready to be machine quilted for a customer.

Now, besides several quilts of my own to be quilted...I have one more to hand quilt and one to machine quilt for customers..for now!  And a couple of custom orders coming in after Christmas.
No rest for the wicked!!!!! Lol.  And I love it!!!!!!!

That's it for me this time around...have a great week!

Christmas is in my Heart

Thank you going out to Marian for hosting another fun hop for all of us.  We have missed our
hopping, you know!  Well, today is my day, and I have a couple of little items to show you today.

First up, is following the theme of our title for this one...and I created a little snow family for you.




I used the Accuquilt circle die and the Accuquilt Christmas Medley die for this pillow...And this
family love each other...sending heartfelt thoughts!  It was really fun to make this little pillow.   

Now, my next piece is something that my sewing group decided to try.  We gave the Lil' Twister
tool a try and it went very well.                                                                                                         


I quilted it on the Tiara with Glide Prickly Pear thread....I love how it has that sheen!!  Just a few
more pictures to show you.                                                                                                        
             






You are aware that Fat Quarter Shop is having a great daily giveaway again, right?  I hope everyone gets to enter, but the code didn't come up for me...no matter what I did; so please enter on one of the other posts for your chance.  This is so very nice of Fat Quarter Shop!!!!!

Hello folks....having a great week so far. As Marla said in her post; we had a fantastic day yesterday with a group of ladies...sewing at the  church. It's a job keeping Marla in line, but we managed...lol

Today, a customer picked up her finished quilt that she pieced for her grandson...and we got her sewing machine working for her.  Here is the quilt I finished hand quilting and bound for her...the second one done for her this fall.

   And the previous one.....
I put this customer quilt in to be hand quilted this afternoon...

Trip around the world.....no marking!!! Will save lots of time, and going to be very pretty.
I am ready for the Christmas blog hop starting on Thursday...my day is Friday. I sure hope Friday the 13 th is smooth!!!!!

Here is my design wall...yes, I have one!!  My sewing buddies got me one in July for my birthday!!!
  Ten bottles of nail polish now...I think that is it. I will alternate with a plain block and border...I think.
And, I have a small start on an I Spy quilt...just wall,hanging size.
These are so cute!!!  I have this one pin based for my Tiara now...ready to go.

Ok.....that's it for me this week..thanks for visiting.  Have a great Remembrance Day!

WIP Wednesday!!!

Hello folks...been a couple of weeks since I posted my works in progress. I am linking up to Monkia over here...http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/2015/11/wip-wednesday-217-tn.html

Now, I have a few things going on that are keeping me occupied. First off...
I finished this one on Sunday evening..belongs to my friend, Rose. Close up...
And...
This one is in the frames now...it belongs to the same lady that I did one for a few weeks ago.
This is for her grandson...he picked the colours.  Want a peek at my Christmas blog hop pieces????
  Lol, I know...not much of a peek,eh....
I am also working on a nail polish quilt...you might remember, my friend Marla made one a while back.  I just loved it!  I have most of the pieces cut out now, and will work on it next Monday when a group of us get together to sew for the day.
And.....I got an order yesterday for a little I Spy quilt. Here is a bit of fabric I pulled today.
And, finally, blocks for my 100 club quilt..disappearing nine patch.
Hmmmmm....I think that's it for now!!!!  I do have several quilt tops of my own to get started on. I might pin baste one this week, and get that going.
Have a good week, and take care!
