quilt monday

I'm going to start off by saying how upset I am with these pictures. It was raining at the time I took them and all the batteries for my cameras were being recharged so I had to use our oldest's camera.

I couldn't figure out the settings but they looked okay when I took them. So I shot a few pictures, wrapped up the quilt and gave it to the recipient. Only to come home and take a look at these pictures *sob*

Anyways, here it is





Quilted with Timeless Hearts. LOVE this pattern. And it's currently on sale!!



I even smacked a label on. Go me!

This fabric is my favorite. And the snowmen?? Perfect! It's a good thing I didn't see this in December lol.

Wednesday was a bizarre day; too much coming home than having to leave again. I spent most of the morning on the phone trying to find info on our sponsor kids in Haiti. Was told it will be up to a month before we know anything for sure. We do have faith they are okay since they live north of Port au Prince but still, we want 100% confirmation.

While I was making those phone calls, we had an appliance repair man here. And our dryer is officially dead. UGH. In the afternoon we headed over to a local scratch and dent place and got a new one. Who cares that it's got a dent or two? The price was right!

The best part of yesterday was the monthly meeting of Ladies who Lunch at our favoritest restaurant. Love these ladies! I did take my camera but never took it out of my purse. That may be a first for me!



Last night I spent finally getting my secret quiltie put together. I'm just noticing now that this picture is not the way the quilt went together. Hmmmm lol. I'm not 100% thrilled with this quilt. It's made from fat quarters and some of the fat quarters I had purchased, the fabric was a variegated fabric. I didn't realize that until I opened them up. So when I sewed the blocks back together, I tried to still go with the variation in the fabrics so it was continuous. That was a bit of a challenge in some cases lol.

Now I'm off to work to get it quilted. Have a good one!

opps

I didn't have time this morning for todays Quilt Monday post. Than it was a mad scramble afterschool to piano, get some groceries. Than I did some baking and now it's almost 9:30pm and I've realized that my camera is at work. With the memory card. With the picture of today's Quilt Monday quilt. And the quilt is there too *SIGH*

Instead, I'll show you two customer quilts I did last week. Both are for Donna.



Quilted with Medium Meander

I simply adore log cabin quilts and I don't own one of my own. Every year I say I will make one. I love how the blue logs in this one are smaller. So pretty and striking.



Quilted with Botanica

I love how the pattern shows up on the back.
