Good golly! Has it really been six days since I posted something? Why yes it has. I have been so busy this week, I forgot to blog. Let's fix that now.
I finally finished the lap quilting project, and it went home today. Started in the 1980s and finished in 2018!! Better done than in a drawer.
|
All done, with the 30s blue for the binding. |
|
Looks great! |
Mr Wazoo has taken a couple of days away from the yard to help catch up on the quilting queue. Fortunately it has been dark and rainy, so he hasn't complained.
|
perky green pinwheels |
|
Panto: Popcorn |
|
another baby quilt |
|
Panto: Modern twist |
|
I love this froggy panel! |
|
Panto: Drip! |
|
This paisley squares quilt took Mr W a long time...he had to use Roxanne's appliqué glue to hold down the sides of all those squares! The customer sewed them down with a straight stitch 1/4 inch from their edges. |
|
Panto: Paisley |
|
Our first Christmas quilt for 2018! |
|
Quilted with the panto, Holly Ribbon. |
|
The customer pieced the back, too. |
I quilted a few of the pieces in the queue, as well, and we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel for pantographs. I think there are 15 left to do. Of course, I have some custom quilts that have been hanging on the rack for a long time. I hope to get them done, and drop that part of the business. I like the tee shirt quilt making, repairing old quilts, and commissions. I like to sew and have some time to do quilts I want to make. I hope I'm getting there.

A nice Mini-trip quilt |
|
The panto is Swan's Journey, but its hard to see. |
|
A cute bug and flower panel |
|
Panto: Butterfly swirl |
|
The photo doesn't do this quilt justice. The colors are deep and rich. |
|
Panto: Trellis Roses |
|
This collection is called Anne of Green Gables |
|
Panto: Feather Flourish |
|
Only in a nightmare would I expect to have to fix and quilt another double knit polyester quilt. This one made of all hexagons from old pantsuits. |
|
The customer wanted to have it finished just where Grandma left off, so it is a "free-form" shaped quilt with a vintage sheet for backing. I made bias binding and hand sewed it while watching TV.
|
The weirdly shaped polyester quilt. Binding finished!
|
|
|
I also quilted this shadow illusion quilt. |
|
I used the Butterflies and Blooms panto again. |
|
Groovy backing!
|
After work, I stopped to take a couple of pictures in the light rain of Mr Wazoo's gardens. It is so calming to see the greenery in the gloom of a rainy day.
More to come tomorrow!
|
The back door planters will be pink this year! |
|
So will the blue pot. |
|
We picked up this fun hummingbird feeder at a small shop in town. |
|
Lovely purple clematis. |
