Ribbons... Dianne's got ribbons!

Wow... I am so bad at updating the blog lately. And things I thought I had added aren't here - know what that means? Yep, I didn't do it. So, without further delay...

One of my customers took two First Place ribbons back in October at the Alabama National Fair.
Here is her winning quilt - 1st Place - Patchwork-Machine Quilted


and here is her winning quilt - 1st Place Wall Hanging-Machine Quilted


I love that they hang the quilts overhead. It does help in deterring thieves.
Both of these quilts were fun to work on and turned out great. Congratulations Dianne!

Happy Hauntings

In case you're new readers... I LOVE THIS QUILT! I should rephrase and say I LOVE HALLOWEEN! So, of course, I would love this quilt. This is the "Happy Hauntings" quilt (pattern by Verna Mosquera of The Vintage Spool) and it is the second one I have had the pleasure of quilting. This one belongs to Dianne and she has been "patiently" waiting for it while I slowly fall behind on work, life, and so forth! Thank you Dianne for being SO very patient!

I am slowly pulling my fabrics for this quilt. Perhaps if I am diligent with my applique over the summer I will have one of my very own for Halloween this year! Yes, a girl can always hope!

Really quick... in a nutshell

Okay, here is a quick post of some of the things I've been working on...

This is a tiny (and I mean tiny) little view of my Member Challenge for the PSL Crazy Quilters show! That's all I can show without giving it away -- no it is no where near done!

Here's a look at Sallie's It's a Bling Thing quilt (in the book Let the Good Times Roll by Anka Treasures) - I love her colors!

Here's Fern's Happy Hauntings (by Verna Mosquera of the Vintage Spool). I'm a Halloween person and I absolutely love this quilt! I think I'll get started on it soon (around mid March of next year)!

Here's a Memory Quilt made by Kelly -- her own design.
