Another one bites the dust!

I finally finished the quilt from H***! It wasn't the quilt's fault, it was my fault. It's my very first customer quilt. When the customer and I discussed the quilting it was to be an allover meander. Well........when I got it on the frame I got a bunch of neat ideas so off I went. She hasn't seen it yet so I don't know if she'll like it or not, I'm hoping so. What do you think?

Here's close ups of a few of the blocks.......

This quilt took me forever because I spent a lot of time ripping stitches out. Sometimes I spent more time ripping than stitching. But it's finished now and I'm so happy. I'll be even happier if the customer likes it.

Happy Quilting!

Falling way behind

I've finished one of the UFOs that I signed up for on Finn's blog. I signed up to finish 5 however, so far I've only managed 2. I don't know where the time goes.

Here are a few pictures of the latest finished project.

This is another quilt that will be presented to a wounded soldier.

Whirl Into Winter Giveaway

Debi is hosting a winter giveaway and I will be participating. I haven't decided on the prize yet so stay tuned. The Fall Into Fall Giveaway was so much fun that I wanted to play again. It's a lot of fun to visit other sites and learn so many different things about my fellow bloggers. Every site has such a variety of talent, they are all so inspiring.

If I'm quoting the rules correctly, the giveaway will be on January 1st. I'm sure there will be some lovely prizes so be sure to visit all the blogs. Just click on the snowflake at the right to view the details.

Happy Quilting!

The Joy of Finishing

Have you ever experienced the pure joy of finishing something?

I joined a block exchange with a group on the internet last year. The blocks were supposed to be finished and in their new homes by the end of June. To say the least, I didn't make it. It took me until last week to finish the last three. I make no excuses for myself. I've somehow developed this habit of not finishing quilty things over the years. It's always fun to start new things and take new classes. Someone once told me that I loose intrest in things when I find out how they are done. I am also a person of my word so I had to finish.

Here's the pictures to prove it.........

They have been mailed and should all have arrived at their new homes by now.

I've also joined another internet block swap. This one is in 30's fabrics. They are not my favorites but I'm in now. I intend to keep up with this one and send them out in the alloted time.

I also took another class. This one was with Jo Morton, I'll post pictures of the top as soon as I finish it (Yes, I did say finish).

I hope you'll all check back for new info. Untill then........

Happy Quilting!
