Happy New Year

Do you make new year's resolutions?  I guess I usually don't, but this year my new years resolution is to finish at least one UFO each month..

I'm going to start the year off and do a customer quilt and then one of my own. I have so many quilts ready to be quilted that it's not even funny. Maybe I'll count them this week, just so I have a good idea.

They say that what you do on New Year's Day is what you will do for the year. Well, I certainly hope not because I spent most of the day working on this quilt and if I have to quilt quilts like this all year, I'm quitting the quilting business!

I was trying to remember the story behind this one and I believe the owner's mother pieced the center and she added the corner squares and triangles and also the borders. These pictures tell the story pretty well.

The same area after quilting:

Thank goodness she didn't want to spend a lot because I don't think I could have done custom on this one.

I used a high loft poly batting and Omni thread. It's finished and I'm on to the next quilt of mine.

More Meandering!

Last week I quilted another quilt for Libby and one for Kathy and they were both meandering quilting.

The first one was a Turning Twenty made with homespuns. A very pretty quilt!

This next one was probably made from one line of fabric, very romantic, I think.

They were planning to spend the weekend at Miss Mary's retreat house and put on bindings. I wonder if they got them all finished.

It was very windy here so I didn't get a chance to hang them up outside to take photos.

More Meandering for Kathy

Last night I quilted this 120 x 90 quilt for Kathy. Just a meander is what she wanted for this one, just like the last one. What a difference in fabrics. I love these pinks and browns.

Here is the first one I quilted for her a week or so ago, and I guess I forgot to show it here on my blog.
