I was getting tomorrow's Wordless Wednesday post ready(I have to work tomorrow and wanted it up before I go) and I got the dreaded message from Blogger that I had exceeded my picture quota-ACK!
So I broke out Jim's credit card(thanx hunny!) and bought some more storage space. And now I have to wait up to 24hours to post any pictures. But at least I will be able too!
P.S: Since many are asking, I paid $5us for 20GB of photo storage. Blogger says that's about 10,000 pictures. And it was the cheapest. That is $5/year by the way.
I've been blogging for just over 4 years so there you go :)

A little bit of red lol.
Tilly made these quilts for her two granddaughters for Christmas. I absolutely adore black/white quilts; I really need to make one of my own.
Quilted with Bright n Breezy
Tilly wasn't sure what she wanted on the other quilt and once I asked her if her granddaughters were Twilight fans, I knew which pattern this quilt was getting.

Christmas card marathon is done. I created 65 Christmas cards, 3 birthday and 1 thank you in the past 2 days. Go me! I do feel that I wasn't as creative as I could have been this year but I just wasn't feeling it. But they are done! And here's a brief sneak peek; all the cards but 10(they are missing some ribbon). Now back to the quilting!
snack saturday
Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake
1/2 cup chocolate syrup

recap
I've had some questions about the quilties I blogged yesterday(see them here). Because they are so little, I put the borders on, apply the appliqué than sandwich the quilt and do my blanket-stitch(or as I call it, my button-holing) right through all 3 layers.
And just to crisp the binding up, I'll even sew that on before I trim the quilt.
Now that can be a little tricky, especially when trimming the excess backing and batting off. More than once, I've nicked my binding and had to remove it and start over.
Now they sit in my to be bound pile; it really doesn't seem to be shrinking at all!

one month to go
I am going to have to ask Santa for this adorable quilt from Hamels this year. Made from warm and cozy flannel with the wool appliquéd; love it!
Check out the fabulous flannel backing.
Quilted with Shooting Stars and some freehanded meandering and stars.
And here's a sneak peek of a custom quilt I wrapped up earlier this week. Hands down, this is my absolute favorite quilt I have longarmed this year. Amanda did an amazing job piecing it; it was a dream to quilt. I know she is going to love it as much as I do!
Beautiful block insets,
And the most fabulous border ever.
I wonder if she would let me keep it?
