My work here is finished!

I finished Lois' jungle quilt and that means that I can pack my bags and head over to Threads of Time in Danville, IL for a little R&P (rest and piecing) with some friends. Well, after I get off work, that is.



Anyway, back to this quilt that Lois made. She wasn't fond of it when she brought it to me. I chose Lime Tree panto because it reminds me of the trees and vines in a forest. The thread is PermaCore Mother Goose and the batting is Hobbs 80/20.






A few days ago I quilted this Quilt of Valor for a local soldier who was injured and is coming home.

Linda's Wedding Quilt #1

I finished this quilt that Linda made yesterday. She gave me 2 quilts that will be given to her granddaughter, one for the bridal shower and one as a wedding gift. I'm not sure which is which, but I wanted to make both of them special.

This is all freehand and I worked on it for 3 days, not the entire part of each day, but quite a while.




A close-up while in progress.

This is more the true color. The sun outside really changed the colors.
