Rain, rain, rain...QUILT!!

Another foggy, rainy day here in the mountains. Perfect for work, if you can call it work! Sure, I have some days when I wish I didn't have to do customer stuff and could just sew something I want to try and lose myself in the process, but I need to work and am cutting back slowly to see how it goes. So today I worked.
The Nancy Mahoney quilt was off the machine and bound over the weekend. I'm sitting with it over my lap and legs as I write this! Pics tomorrow. Today, I quilted two Quilts of Valor and a small customer wall hanging. I have been working on the custom quilt, too, and started the 'real' quilting today after finishing the stitch in the ditch yesterday afternoon. Progress!

QOV number one was pretty and simple. 

Per usual, Simply Stars. This looks so nice on most of the QOVs. That's why I chose it.

Nice backing. I hadn't seen this fabric before. I like it.

QOV number two is a wowser! The quilter is from Tallahassee, FL.

See? Simply Stars is perfect again!

Starry backing to match.

This is the little wall quilt. It looks kind of dark here.

This customer has done three other quilts with these fabrics, and always asks for  the panto Little Bird. Here it is again!

See little bird on the backing? They show up better here.

I'm half done with the big carpenter's star's pointy parts. All that blank background is next.
I'll be thinking about what to do there in my sleep!

It is a bit intimidating to think about the sea of space around the star.

This multiple panel quilt is next to be done. It is outdoor scenes in the snow.

I'm thinking of these snowflakes for the quilting.

Tomorrow, I will be back in the studio and having a good time. A customer is coming first thing with a quilt, and I'll be busy at the machines after that. I do take a few minutes after work for fun. Today, I made some more spiderweb block parts! If I keep making them, by this time next year I should have a quilt! ha ha ha. Fun with scraps...what could be better?
