A truly productive day

 Hurricane Dorian is bearing down on Florida, and I am ever so glad I am not there!! I hope and pray my friends there don't suffer a great loss like Punta Gorda did after hurricane Charley.
On the home front here in Georgia, we busied ourselves with quilting and accomplished quite a lot. Mr Wazoo surprised me by quilting a very difficult hand pieced top. It was a real mess when we got it, but the grandson of the maker wanted it finished for his family. The same woman made the Sunbonnet Sue quilt I finished yesterday.

Zowie! This is a bright quilt!

The fitting panto for this quilt is sunflowers, don't you agree? The name of the panto is Soleil, french for sun.

I used one of the vintage looking backings I bought in Ringgold for the quilt.

I made the binding and applied it. The quilt sure improved with squaring up and binding!

I started with a quilt of valor from Tennessee. The Millie chugged along while I loaded the big chicken and started the stitch in the ditch. I finished the Moon quilting yesterday, and sewed the binding and sleeve last night and this morning before work.

This is one of the prettiest QOVs I have done. 

The pantograph I used is called Lazy Log Star

I like the backing, too! The quilt is off to Tennessee and it's maker.

All finished!

Some of the quilting detail

This is the block that represents our guild.

This is supposed to be the morning mist we see most mornings here in the mountains. I named my quilt Moon Over Misty Mountain.

I'm hoping this sleeve placement will let the top stay up and not flop over.

The backing reminds me of a night sky.

I loaded up the big chicken and started stitching in the ditch between rows on the next quilt

Molly had her follow up visit to the vet and graduated to a pink shirt from her  flotation device.
After the QOV was off and trimmed, I quilted this fun baby quilt.

The bright red-orange inner border really pops this simple panel quilt

I did a panto called simple fish

The backing is a lime green flannel polka dot. I just love the whole package.

One of our repeat customers is in NC and she brought two tee shirt quilt to be done . I like the layout of this one, and will probably borrow the idea for my future quilts.

Double square panto

The perfect choice for the back.

By the end of a very long and tiring day, I had five quilts finished, one mailed and the stitch in the ditch done on the big chicken. The day went full circle, starting and ending with the big chicken!
More tomorrow!!
