Time flies when you're having fun

Been awhile...

I didn't realize that I had not posted in

over a month...

time flies when you're having fun.

 

I have a lot to show since July.

I have been busy.

Some quilts I cannot share right now, but

soon.

 

 

My father's side of the family has a reunion

the first Saturday in Aug, so Stevie and I always go with him.

Although I don't know a lot of people, we always have fun.

Those of us that "make" things are asked to bring items

for door prizes. Several years ago I purchased a "Family" panel with some yardage.

I made this in about 4 nights and had just finished the binding when my

father picked us up.

 

Everyone loved it, my father strutted it around the room for everyone to see.

The oldest member attending (age 94) picked it as her door prize.

I had several request to make more but I could not make them understand

I can no longer buy the panel.

One man told me I had set the bar high, he will be waiting to see what

kind of quilt I bring next year.

 

And of course our family name.  I forgot to take a picture

 on the label I made for the back, had the name and date and a little saying.

 

I also made about 6 of these journal covers.

 

 

 

I thought they would be a hit but ended up being the last items picked.

 

I also finished a wall hanging for Barbara that goes with the

(she calls it the big green star quilt)

bright green bed quilt she made and I quilted.

Here is a picture to refresh your memory...

 

 

By the way, the big green star quilt won first place at the Wilson County fair.

 

Her  Arboretum quilt also won 1st place at the fair.

 

Here is a sneak peek at the wall hanging. 

 It's finished I just haven't delivered it yet.

 

 

She also had me quilt her grandson a quilt,

Another sneak peek

 

Not really a t shirt quilt.  I'll explain what it is when I post the finish.

 

This wall hanging is still on the frame but should be finished tonight,

well if I get off the computer LOL!.

I want to make one of these, but I know I never will,

I don't have the time to do all of the hand stitches.

 

 

Is this not cute? I love it!!

Crabapple Hill pattern, I think that's right.

In addition to all this LA quilting I also pieced two wedding quilt tops.

All of my quilting is freehand on my APQS Millie.

 

Thanks for sticking with me, promise to stay more up to date.

Have a good week.
