Today was that kind of spitting rain that messes up your glasses and makes your hair damp. I didn't work because Mr Wazoo and I had business out of town and spent a good part of it on the road. I did get some work done on the weekend, in fact, I worked really hard and feel good about where I am today despite the lost quilting hours.
A big finish!!
And here it is with the binding on.
The quilting is simple, but effective.
A look at the quilting on the back
Can't stop the flow!! Here is the next one, loaded up and the blocks about half quilted.
I'm on a roll!
This one is also finished. It is made from an ombre jelly roll. Very clever use of the colors!
Panto: Frolic. The customer chose variegated thread for the quilting.
The backing is fuchsia!
Have you heard of Nightmare Before Christmas? I had heard of it, but never watched it. I took in a quilt made for the maker's daughter who is a huge fan of the movie.
The fabric looked familiar, but I couldn't place it. One of my kids knew the answer and said it was a cute movie. So, I went to the Disney channel and watched. A lot of singing and fun characters, but not for children! At least not small children. Parts of it are really creepy and one of the characters is super scary.(Mr Boogedy)
Anyhoo, here is the quilt!
I used a variegated thread and the panto, Malachite. It fits the spooky vibe.
The backing is all sorts of plaid flannel! I love it!!
I wonder if you recognize the next quilt... it should look familiar to you.
The customer asks for no trim, so I apologize for the unfinished look. Recognize the table cloth? Yup, this is the fourth of seven.
Deja vu for the panto, as well. Bush Berries. This time in green variegated thread
The only switch is the backing. The others had the blue and yellow plates on the back. This one has a lovely sunflower print in Autumn colors. Nice!
I snuck in my quilt and got it quilted and bound, too.
Another charity quilt for the pile.
This next quilt has a retro vibe to it. I love the use of the new starry Grunge fabric with the green fabric that looks like fir tree fronds. I think it is a wonderful example of how modern fabrics can make traditional holiday quilts.
The pattern she chose is very simple and showcases the fabrics.
Very hard to make out the panto, Modern Christmas Trees, but it works well with the theme.
More Grunge on the back.
I have a lot in common with this gal.
