The weather here has been on again off again as far as cold and rain are concerned. We have spent more than the usual time in the studio getting a jump on 2017 and the quilts in the queue. No sunshine means the man is indoors!
First up yesterday, I did two quilts for a favorite Florida customer, who has been patiently waiting for her quilts while we blasted through the Christmas orders.
This swirling log cabin made my heart sing while I quilted it. The scrappy reds are wonderful!

After that, I did a snazzy quilt with jewel tone stars in the piecing. I like the little friendship stars in the bigger stars.

Mr Wazoo was also very busy with both quilting and studio projects to help us work more efficiently. What a guy! He finally made my big ironing board, and I can't wait to try it out tomorrow! The glue has to set up overnight. Then he made holders for our new Red Snappers Santa brought us for Christmas.

| Here are mine, all stored for the day. |
He also got some quilting done. My sister is coming in a couple of days and we had 13 quilts to get finished for her to take home with her to Texas. They are all done now, and we are ready for a fun visit.

I finished, quilted and got the bindings done on three charity quilts over the last couple of days, and made a quick 2-3-2-6 today. It's quilted, but I ran out of steam before making the binding. Leave something for tomorrow, Susan!

Today, I also quilted two quilts for another customer whose grandsons need bigger quilts. Too cute!! Cowboys and cavemen, great subject matter for little boys, don't you think?

| I love the backing she chose, too! |
In my spare moments (and there are more of them now that I am using the computerized pantographs) I designed and started making blocks for a Quilt of Valor. I really enjoyed making my brother's quilt, and want to keep making them. Maybe one a month, if I can fit them in.
Steak on the grill tonight! Well worth working until 6:15...Mr Wazoo is also a super grillmaster!!
