Don't get use to this

Gone for 3 months, then 2 post in 2 days....

don't get use to this.

 

I had a baby quilt request from a new mom to be.

She wanted Pooh but I couldn't find Pooh fabric

(that I liked) anywhere. 

So then she said the baby's father liked soccer,

so something with soccer.

Couldn't find that either.

Very short on time, shower was today.

I found a picture of Pooh, had it enlarged.

Kind of looked like Pooh was kicking up his leg

so.....

How about Pooh playing soccer?

 

I had some Pure by Sweetwater in my stash, came out years ago.

 

I was going to make Pooh in black but a quilting friend of

mine suggested blue for a baby boy.

 



I love the way it turned out and

so did the soon to be mama.

 





 

And of course I had to quilt his name.

 

 

All freehand quilting with SoFine thread

and 2 layers of 80/20 batting.

 

 



Let's Catch Up, It's been awhile

I made 5 quilt tops and quilted 10 quilts between

Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Got up early and

 stayed up late to quilt them.

  January came and I was burned out.

I had two quilts to finish up that I did not get

finished by Christmas and it was a task.

To beat everything, I took very few pictures.

 

All of the Christmas quilts were memory quilts.

 



 

I did work on a quilt for myself and I worked on small projects in January.

 

This is one of them

 

 

I had the nine patch blocks left over from my Winter Blessing quilt.

Winter Blessings was a BOM by Primitive Gathering.  It was

offered several years ago and I am just now finishing mine.

Sorry no pictures yet.

 

Well back to this wall hanging, the nine patches measure 3 inches.

 

 

 I just played around with the quilt.  Trying to get my quilting mojo back.

 

 

 Then my machine broke.  Operator error.  Had to order parts and

now I know more about timing a machine then I really wanted to know.

I have to say the people at APQS are the best.  Dawn, at APQS,

 worked with me over the phone, figured out the problem

and sent my parts out, I had them the next day.

 

We are back up and running.

 

I quilted a memory quilt for a friend.

I believe this was on the frame when I broke my machine.

 

 

The stars are made from her cousin's husband's shirt.

Love her dark background.  The pattern is Round and Round by

ThimbleBlossoms.  I made my uncle's quilt from the same pattern last year.

Has a lot of pieces but makes a very pretty quilt.

 

 

More on this quilt later.

 

That's not a whole lot for 3 months.

I have been working on some applique projects but nothing to show yet.

I take the applique with me to my son's tennis practice, so I

don't get a whole lot finished in an hour and a half but at least I'm not just sitting there.

 

Several things are in the works, so maybe I won't be away so long.
