What a Difference!

The stack n whack quilt is finished, washed and dried and what a difference from the picture in the last post.

It is super crinkly:



And the back just looks conforting to me. I hope someone will like it!

Design Wall Monday - October 4, 2010

Here's what's on my design wall this morning:



I know you were expecting to see the Dora stack-n-whack, but it's all put together and ready to be quilted.

Row-by-row

Here is my row for the new RBR that I am joining. My online friend Gracie from New York actually made these blocks for me in our 12 Days of Christmas exchange, and I had not decided what I wanted to do with them.



The RBR needs to be passed tonight, so last night I sewed these beautiful blocks together, gathered up some batiks and I'm all set.




i got the borders sewn on the stack n whack from Monday's design wall photo.

Design Wall Monday - September 13, 2010

Looks like my design wall on JUly 5th, doesn't it? This is the leftover fabric from Kylee's quilt. It was just too pretty to put the leftovers back into my stash.
These blocks are a bit smaller than Kylee's, so this will just be a lap quilt, or wall hanging.

Kylee's quilt is quilted

I finished the quilting, Popcorn, on Kylee's quilt this evening after a wonderful dinner with Julie, Andrew and Elizabeth. Tomorrow I'll tackle the binding.

I can't believe how quickly they are growing up. They are both very well behaved and I actually asked Julie tonight if they ever throw a fit. You know the kind, it usually happens in a store, and those big crocodile tears are pouring down some little child's face. I can only imagine they didn't get what they wanted and they'll be fine in a few minutes.

Anyway, Julie, I think you're a wonderful mom!

Pam's Crazy Nine-Patch
Very seldom do I have a customer that doesn't want their quilt's photos posted online. When Pam picked up her quilt last night, she decided to not sign the release for me to post them because she is planning to write her own version of the pattern. So, that one won't be shown here, and you'll just have to take my work for it that it turned out nice.

Design Wall Monday

It looks a bit like last Monday, except the blocks and sashing have been stitched into rows. My goal is to finish this one this week, quilting, binding and all.

I hand stitched the binding on a quilt in the car this weekend and it feels good to get that one finished.

Design Wall Monday – June 28, 2010

Have a look at these pretty Stack n Whack blocks. My co-workers daughter picked out the fabric and I think it's just perfect for a 10 year old. Wait till you see the sashing she picked out!

Cathy's Stack-n-Whack

I finally finished this one. I do believe that it was on Mabel longer than any other quilt in almost 3 years. It's worth it though as I think it looks great.

Of course, it's dark outside, so I can't get a shot of the entire quilt, but here are a couple closeups. I just love the feather meander on the lime green!

Here is a shot of the entire quilt....blowing in the wind, darn it.
