New quilt

Barbara's quilt is finished.

Just need to trim.

Lots of pictures to share after

I delivery it to her.

 

This is my new quilt.

Not a whole lot to see right now

 

 

 

 

First time to quilt on black and

 I might need a new pair of glasses

when finished.

Thank goodness for Jamie Wallen's video

 on how to make a side light.

 

Have a nice weekend.  It's will be cool here so

a good time to stay inside and quilt.

 

 

You guys are great!!

I looked at all of your suggestion

and found one that I thought would serve my needs.

Thank you very much for all of your help.

Very excited, my new stand should be here next week.

A little help

I need a little help.

Looking for one of those

telescoping frames to hang quilts on when taking pictures.

Do you know what I'm talking about?

Looks like a camera tripod, only taller.

It has one on each side and a pole across the top to

hang the quilt on.

Clear as mud?

Well, if you know what I talking about and know where to

buy one please let me know.

Or if you know how to build one that will not take up

a lot of space, one that can be taken down and stored in a little bitty

space.  I've thought about PVC pipe and connector but don't know if that

would be too much trouble setting up and taking down.

Just came up with an idea. but still want to hear from you.

stuff happens

I was making some progress

on Barbara's quilt...

 

 

when Mother Nature decided to send a lot of ice

and some snow our way.

Guess what happens when your gutters are full of ice

and then it rains 2 inches?

 

 

Rain comes inside.

Part of my quilting studio flooded.

Water down the wall, soaks carpet and to the garage

ceiling below.

 

I had to move a bookshelf loaded with my books, desk,

and furniture.

Studio is not so pretty right now and

almost impossible to work. 

 

 

But still not as bad as my sister has it

 

 

Spring will come!



 



Time for the Giveaway drawing

It is finally time for the GYB giveaway!!.

I had my assistant draw a number

again this year.

Before the BIG reveal

I would like to thank every one

who visited and especially those who

left a comment.

A BIG thank you to Vicki

at 2 bags full for hosting this event

again this year.

 

Without further delay....

(pretend to hear the drum roll)

 

 

My assistant drew number

33

 

 

That would be

Jeannie in Ohio.

I will contact you by email.

I enjoyed reading all of the comments and I think

I replied to each of you.

 

Still working on this quilt

 

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 



seeing green

I started working on a customer's quilt today.

 

 

A couple of weeks ago

I purchased a set of curved longarm rulers

from Linda Hrcka, http://thequiltedpineapple.bigcartel.com/

I wanted to try them out.

Sixteen little dots later this is how it turned out.

 

 

This is going to take a while.

 

Road trip

Drawing will be Sunday, Feb 15.


I really need to build a design wall or something

so that I can hang a finished quilt

and show the whole quilt.

Until then, I will do the best I can.

 

It was raining and cloudy today so I
couldn't get real good pictures.

This quilt will be taking a road trip tomorrow,
so these pictures will have to do.

 

 

This quilt will be in an auction this weekend 

at  the Junior Diabetes Research Foundation

of Western New York Gala.

 

 

Pattern is Dresden Bloom by Edyta Sitar.

 

 

76.5 X 76.5

2 layers of batting.

Glide thread.

All quilting is hand guided on my APQS Millie.

 

 

I just love how it turned out.

It was my new favorite and very hard to send away.

I know it is going for a very good cause and

 I was very happy to make  for the auction.



 

On to the next one...

 

 

This is for a special friend. 

I tied to make it a one day project, but wouldn't

you know it....

I had to (well I didn't have to but I did)

 cook weekend breakfast, wash clothes, and

of course watch the Super Bowl. 

( I know I did more than that)

So I still have a little bit to finish.

Then on to some customer quilts.

 

Thanks for visiting.

I would love to know you stopped by.
