The week of rush quilts...

Two kinda rush quilts for Mary, similar but different (love that).  These are her Lilly dresses, yes that is Lilly Pulitzer fabrics cut into little sheath dresses - absolutely adorable!!


And then two real rush quilts for Rhona (again, similar yet different)!

Lots of other things happening in life and on the other blog.  Check out the latest post here - it might just spark your interest!

Rosemarie's Beauties

Before Rosemarie headed back up north for the summer she left four of her quilts for me to quilt -- two bigs and two smalls.  Here they are finished:

Big #1

And very similar Big #2

Small #1

And a similar (but different) Small #2
 

I know, not many words with this post.  I've been behind schedule like crazy and suffered an insanely debilitating headache migraine today.  I managed to start functioning around 7:30 pm.  This is the most productivity I've managed -- sorry peeps, more pics (and hopefully words) soon!

Catch up... again!

That is my norm anymore... catching up.  So don't worry, it's not just here, it is everywhere in my life.

I'll start with Linda's Primitive Garden quilt (pattern by Primitive Gatherings).  The full finished pic kinda stinks, so enjoy all the close-up details (those two with the late afternoon sunlight - OMG, I absolutely love that time of day):




 

So I did another quilt for Linda, a smaller Primitive Gatherings pattern, but right now I can't find the picture... it was super cute, you'll just have to believe me!

Remember, I told you my entire life has been catch-up?... here we go -- look a haircut, but by the time I post this those hairs have already grown back!

My hubby and I managed to go out for breakfast one day -- it was nice, very nice!

And then Rosemarie had four beauties - two littles and two bigs:
 
 
 

And a little more life snuck in... I turned a year older

And don't forget, you can always follow more of my quilts and general life stuff on my other blog.  Take care peeps, more client quilty pics soon!

Deirdre's fire quilts and a whole lot more!

Recently I was contacted by a new customer, Deirdre (hahaha... I say recently like it was a couple of weeks ago.  In my world recently means months ago). anyway she found me somehow, internet, facebook, friend (I really can't remember) and she had three quilts she wanted to send to me.  We emailed back and forth and while I was in Paducah I received a voicemail from her letting me know she was ready to ship the quilts.  I called her back only to get her voicemail... I left her the appropriate info and explained that I was at the AQS Show in Paducah and would be home in a few days.  Ready.... the reason Deirdre wasn't there to answer my call is because she was on her way to Paducah.  Yep, we met at the show!  How cool is that?!!  She saw first hand my quilting style and we talked and a few days after I got home I received Deirdre's quilts -- no, not three, there were five in the box!  Apparently my quilting really made an impression!

So, we'll start with Barn Fire
 
 

And then the second in the series, Barn Burning
 

Then, the third (but probably not final) in the fire series, Burning the Scraps


Next was Ribbons and Bows
 

And finally, The Conclave
 

And I must apologize for not being a better photographer -- thank goodness I'm a good quilter!

I hope you enjoy looking at Deirdre's quilts -- just so you know, she's already sent another three!  Can't wait to quilt and share those as well!
