Bloggers Quilt Festival

Amy from http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/amyscreativeside/~3/OFBcv-xSpio/ is hosting another great festival for us!!

Since we can enter two quilts, my second entry is this one...in the machine quilted category.

I made 3 of these for my grandsons for Christmas last year. This one in the gold and black, one in blue and white, and one in mossy green. 

This quilt measures 74 x 94 and is machine quilted on my Baby Lock Tiara with Fil- Tec Glide thread top and bottom. I bought this pattern on line.

Voting starts on Amy 22 nd....please vote, thank you.

Bloggers Quilt Festival 2015

This is your chance to see a wonderful display of quilts created by fellow bloggers. Thanks to Amy over at   http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/amyscreativeside/~3/OFBcv-xSpio/, we have this opportunity now.  This time I am entering my Churn Dash in the Hand Quilted category.

and.....the borders are visible here.

This quilt measures 92x102 inches, and is made with Bella solids. I made this quilt along with a number of ladies who shop at our local fabric shop...The Fabric Cupboard in Moncton, NB.

They offer this QAL once a year to who ever wants to sign up. The pattern and fabric is a surprise until that very day!!!  We don't actually work on the quilts together, it is done on a monthly basis. I thoroughly enjoy this shop!!

Thank you Amy for hosting again. Voting starts on May 22nd....Thank you.

WIP Wednesday

Here we are again....mid week, with all kinds of things going on. I've been spending my weekends outside helping my husband and 3 grown sons replacing the siding and windows in our home.  This has turned into a huge undertaking, but getting there!

For sewing projects....I have a few things in progress for you.

this one I started last week is now half hand quilted....

I have one more small quilt to quilt for this customer.

This next one is the commissioned t shirt quilt...I've talked about earlier, being machine quilted on my TIara...

I just working a little bit here and there on it right now...just past the first quarter of this one.  It is king size and quite heavy, but going very well.

And last, but not least....a new commission. A full size quilt for a young girl...getting some of the blocks together.

This is the pattern...

I think it will be so pretty with these fabrics.This Kona white is a treat to work with.

I have three lap size quilts to hand quilt when I finish the one at the top of this post, and three of my own.

Thanks for your visit, enjoy the week.  linking up to Monika at http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/2015/05/wip-wednesday-193-tn.html

Hand quilted and finished it so she can put it in a show!!!

And, I have started cutting fabric to make this quilt.

Not much of a picture, as I got in a hurry this afternoon to get these ready.

I have 3 more customer quilts waiting to be hand quilted, and 3 or 4 of my own...not sure just what I will do with them yet.
