Well It's Getting There

Like I said......I have a little time off of school so I'm putting it to good use. I'm still working on the wool and here's what I just finished.

The Crows are on the wire........

This is the progress so far......

Only ten more to go! I can't decide which block to start on next, any suggestions. I'm kind of leaning toward the gardening gloves.


Have a happy day and thanks for visiting!

School's Out

Well, school is out for a few weeks so I've had some time to do a few other things. I love school, but I'm so ready for a break.

I've been able to get a couple of customer quilts finished so I thought I'd share them with you.

Here's a cute baby quilt

I love the colors, they are so bright and cheerful. 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.

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. The print is just too busy to be able to see any quilting so this seemed like the best choice.


Here's a closer look.....


I got my EQ7 earlier this week and I've been playing and learning how to use this great program. I have both EQ5 and EQ6 but I never really learned to use them. I designed a couple of cute baby quilts and I'm trying to design a quilt for my granddaughter. I'll share that with you all as soon as I get something that I like. EQ is really addicting, I stayed up until 2 this morning playing. Need to spend less time on the computer and more time quilting (LOL)

Thanks for visiting with me. I hope to have more to show you soon!

EQ 7 is comming

The Electric Quilt Company is comming out with the new EQ 7 in June. I'm so excited, I love playing with EQ6 and now there's going to be more really cool features to use. They are taking pre-orders and the information is on their website.

Go to http://www.electricquilt.com/Shop/EQ7/EQ7.asp and read about all the new features it has......it sounds so exciting! I can't wait to get mine!

Happy Quilting

Just Checking In

I just wanted to take a minute to pop in and let everyone know that I'm still alive......though just barely LOL. School is keeping me quite busy so I don't have much time for blogging or quilting,I'm sorry to say.

I did manage to get a baby quilt done for a new customer but I forgot to get pictures before I gave it back. Drat! It was a really cute Winny The Pooh. She was very happy with it and has brought me another to quilt so that's what really counts. Isn't it?

I am still popping in to check on all my favorite blogs almost every day. I so enjoy keeping up with all that you wonderful people are up to.

Take care everyone, I hope to be back soon!

Good Intentions

Well the intention for the Friday Night Sew In was to work on the wool applique but, that's not what ended up happening. I did work on a quilting project however. I have two Quilt of Valor quilts that need to be finished before the end of the month and one is finished.

I practised free motion from the front of the machine on this one.

I think the swirls add movement and softness to the quilt.

One down and one to go......It does feel good to finish something!

Quilts of Valor are for a very worthy cause. I'm glad to be able to show my appreciation to the men and women of the armed forces in any way I can.

I haven't quit on the wool........

Thanks for visiting!

Friday Night Sew-in

I'm joining the Friday night sew in at Handmade by Heidi. It will be Friday, February 19th. The next day we'll all post and show our progress. Check it out and join the fun. Just click on the badge and sign up. I'm hoping that it will keep me on target with my wool applique quilt. I know I won't finish that night but at least I'll be working on it. Because I'm back in school again, I haven't made time for it. Another byproduct is that it will force me to blog the next day. Something else that I haven't been very good at since I started this blog.

Wish me luck!

Block #3

Just a quick post to show you block #3 in the Primitive Garden Quilt. This one finished so quickly......The rest won't be finished so fast.

Next week it's back to school with an 18 credit load so don't know how much time I'll have for quilting.

Thanks for stopping by and.........

Happy Quilting!
