I quilted 3 customer quilts and the raffle quilt.<br />
<br />
The first one was appliqued by my friend Barb and won Best Appliqued quilt. It is Baltimore Autumn from P3 designs.<br />

<br />
It is custom quilted. I used Superior SoFine and Bottom Line threads. It has a lot of pebbles and ruler work.<br />
<br />
This next one is called Confetti. This quilt took a 3rd place in the pieced category. It is a Judy Neidmeir pattern. Again it was custom quilted. It has a lot of ruler work and ditch quilting. Thread is Superior SoFine and Superior Monopoly.<br />

The latest quilt off the machine is Sandi's beautiful Christmas quilt. We decided on Holly and Poinsettia for the panto design, Hobbs 80/20 batting and Glide Vegas Gold. The Vegas Gold was a perfect choice for this quilt as it blended well and wasn't harsh on any of the fabrics.<br />

I know I'm a bit behind the times as usual. Here's a couple finished for our local Quilt Show.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one is foundation pieced on fabric done by Nora. It was shown in the non-judged category. I quilted waves in a variegated King Tut thread since it looks like swimming fish. </div>

This one is the first Modern Quilt that I've ever done. It's pieced by my friend Bev. It turned out pretty good. I spent 2 weeks quilting pebbles. The thread is InvisaFill. I love the texture it gives without a lot of build up. It's a 100wt. polyester.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As usual, I haven't kept up with my blog but just to let you know that I've been working:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This quilt was for a soldier that was wounded in Afghanistan. He is a native of Rockford, Illinois. It was made by my customer Alice. I quilted stars in white SoFine thread.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I was commissioned to make this tee shirt quilt as a present for my customers grandson. The tee shirts belong to the boy and his deceased grandpa. It was an adventure as I'd never made one before. It ended up being a queen size. I used my go to panto - Surf's Up and a light grey thread. After seeing the finished quilt, Grandma couldn't decide if she wanted to give it away or keep it. In the end, one happy boy got the quilt.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This last one is my guilds' raffle quilt. It took me 150 hours to quilt it. Most of the time was spent doing all of the ditch work. It has pebbles and feathers as a filler in the applique blocks, ropes and feathers in the borders. The threads are SoFine and Bottom Line in black. While the quilting doesn't show in the pictures, you can see it on the quilt. The applique work is stunning. Hopefully, this quilt will raise a lot of money for the guild. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that maybe I'll win it!!</span><br />

We were in southern Illinois at the Garden of the Gods this summer and having a ball. I really think the kid is part mountain goat (Pardon the pun). He wasn't the least bit afraid to climb these huge boulders. Grandma on the other hand was another story but to keep up with him, these short little legs did climb them too.Boy try to get up on them at my age.<br />
The view from the top is truly spectacular.....<br />

It's part of the Shawnee National Forest. If you get a chance to visit, it's well worth the hike!<br /><br />

Lets face it, I'm a bad blogger.<br />
I will however get straight to sharing pictures of some of the quilts that I've finished since my last post:<br />
<br />
This first one is a quilt that I helped my friend piece for her daughter's wedding present. It's a photo quilt with pictures of both the bride and groom from childhood to adulthood.<br />

The center star is surrounded by curved crosshatching and the same treatment is applied to the center of the star along with feathers in the points. I used a variegated thread in the colored parts and black for all the backgrounds with a solid red in the sashings. I really love how this one turned out. I wish I could have kept this one. I'll have to make one for myself (Who's dreaming now?)<br />
Think I'll end now and save some for another time.<br />
See I really have been busy.....honest, I have!<br />

This is a quilt that I recently did for one of the local quilt shops. I was so honored to be allowed to quilt it and when I brought it back I was doubly honored to have it placed in their front window.<br />
<br />

I've been using Photoshop Elements and a Wacom Tablet to draw out designs for some of the quilts. I took an online class from Carla Barrett at Steponpins.com that was very good.<br />

I used a panto called Swirly Gig and a lime green thread. It turned out very nice, the pictures don't really do it justice.<br />
I have more quilts to share but I'll save them for another day.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking!<br />

<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The first quilt is one that I quilted for Amanda, it's her sister's Christmas present.I used a pantogram called Variegated Shells. It gives great texture to a quilt without being dense.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Pam's took me 3 weeks to finish. I know I'm slow LOL! I did a lot of intense feathering on it. I'm not sure what the pattern is. It seems to be a variation on Drunkards Path. I had all of these wide open spaces that I just <b>had</b> to fill.</span><br />

Georgia's quilt is a variation on a Log Cabin. Again I used Variegated Shells. This one has a Minke backer so I didn't want anything too dense. It is the first one that I've ever done with minke so I was a little apprehensive, but (call it beginners luck) I didn't have any problems with it.</div>

I love this machine, did I say I LOVE, LOVE my new machine. I've been quilting up a storm since I got her.She has a 14ft. table so I can now quilt any size quilt that I want. The stitch regulation is perfect and she handles wonderfully.</span><br />

The first quilt to get on the new machine was made by my customer, Alice, for her son and daughter-in-law. I did a pantograph on it called Surfs Up. She loved it. I love the texture that the panto gave to this quilt.<br />

Next one is Ruth's Quilt. She is a self taught piecer and she's done a very good job. The panto that she chose for this one is Variegated Shells. She hasn't seen it yet so I hope she'll like it.<br />

Now that my friend <a href="http://brensnewplace.blogspot.com/2011/12/over-river-and-through-woods.html">Bren</a> has posted about it, I can share the one that I'm the most happy about. This quilt will be raffled to help with the medical bills for a darling little girl who has Cystic Fibrosis. I was so happy to be able to be a part of this worthy cause. This quilt is custom quilted. It took me three weeks to finish it. A lot of ruler work and feathers but I had fun doing it. I'm just so grateful that it turned out well. <br />

Hard to believe but it's gone. I spent most of it going to school.....It's official. I have an Associates Degree! Since jobs are still not plentiful in the Rockford area I'm working at a quilt shop. Not what I went to school for but it's a great job and I'm having fun. Next week I get to go and work at the <a href="http://wiquiltexpo.com/?page_id=17">2011 Quilt Expo</a> in Madison, Wisconsin. It's a large show put on by Nancy Zieman of Nancy's Notions. Should be lost of fun.<br />
<br />

I'm never sure if it's good enough.</span></div><span style="font-size: large;">I enjoyed working on this one because of the color contrast. </span><br />

This is going faster than I thought. However, once I start the Fall Session at school......Well, you know!<br /><br />I traced all the templates for block #6 but because I was at school all day today nothing was done on it. I think that I'm going to start doing the triangles that connect the blocks so I won't have them all left for the end. I feel that if I start putting them together then they won't end up a UFO like so many of my other projects end up being. The goal is to have this finished and quilted for my guild's quilt show in 2013. Think I'll make it?<br /><br />My customer sent pictures of the Winnie the Pooh quilt that I did for her and forgot to take pictures of. It actually has the binding on it.

If you've never read Judy Laquidara's blog, you're missing out. It's one that you'll surely want to add to your list. Judy is an author of quilt books, a longarm quilter and a chicken raiser. Besides all that she designs quilts with EQ and shares her designs. Her posts are always informative. So click the chicken on my sidebar and head on over to Patchwork Times.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping bye and happy quilting<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/47/0E77FBB65E4C4DB4F274D5418B69A828.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /></a>Coleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16392002913471071163noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161083276011931804.post-505089990452335422010-07-13T14:50:00.003-05:002010-07-13T15:05:37.269-05:00Sun Bonnet SueI just wanted to share a quick look at the back of the Sun Bonnet Sue........You can see the quilting much better.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZkGU5Yp0ktnrywQVEJsBZvLGeRq4XJ-ep2THW3Bwn2xrOskFq_zEUGPzFlUgS0OE38SubTCohT9-pOgAlwUpo_F9lQZOWdTWbujrrBJEAUGYLICRIIVaBmv319HXhfUr2usnscW1h/s1600/SSback.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 329px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZkGU5Yp0ktnrywQVEJsBZvLGeRq4XJ-ep2THW3Bwn2xrOskFq_zEUGPzFlUgS0OE38SubTCohT9-pOgAlwUpo_F9lQZOWdTWbujrrBJEAUGYLICRIIVaBmv319HXhfUr2usnscW1h/s400/SSback.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493483639145515026" border="0" /></a>Thanks for looking!<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/47/0E77FBB65E4C4DB4F274D5418B69A828.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /></a>Coleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16392002913471071163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161083276011931804.post-57588970006294109512010-07-09T17:36:00.002-05:002010-07-09T18:02:16.853-05:00The other Sunbonnet SueI just finished this cute Sunbonnet Sue for a customer.

My customer was very pleased with it and so was I. The lady who pieced this little quilt does a wonderful job and her quilts are always fun to work on.<br /><br />I had a great time working on this one also. I did quite a lot of ruler work and used my Circle Lord to outline the blocks. I did Piano Keys in the outer border.
