I heard from a friend that she was worried something was up with me as I hadn't posted. I hate to admit it, but my life is really boring right now. All I do is work, eat and sleep. We don't go anywhere except doctor appointments and the grocery store...my kids aren't coming for the holidays, and there are no quilt guild meetings to go to. I bet your life is much the same.
I finished the tee shirt quilt and Mr Wazoo will mail it off tomorrow. I quilted a vintage quilt and gave it a good washing, and repaired another, both for the same customer. My class sample quilt is quilted, and will get binding tomorrow, too.
Tee shirt quilt before binding
Panto: Jetty with a gray/blue thread
The back has the leftover shirts on it
I used the same baseball fabric for the narrow strips.
Here it is with binding.
Baseballs on the binding, too.
This is the vintage quilt, all finished. Before the wash, I might add.
Backed with this pink print, and sporting the panto, Texas fan.
I can't believe it took me all day Sunday to do the repairs and quilting on this.
All the red squares are mine, these slightly darker green ones, too.
I replaced the dark square.
My square here is in the lower right corner.
Here is my quilted class sample
This is the last of this wonderful fabric. Boo-hoo!
I used the panto, Modern Twist
I also did a couple of customer quilts while sewing or repairing. Christmas is coming fast and I have been inundated with quilts to do! Here are the ones I have ready to go right now.
Half square triangles on display here! The maker did a really good job not cutting off the corners.
Panto: Woven Wind
The backing is black, but looks gray in the picture. It is a tiny geometric pattern of black and off white. I guess that will look gray, right?
This cute table cover is done with a Christmas jelly roll.
Panto: Falling Snow
Retro Christmas backing. The customer came and picked it up saying she has another one made!
Sometimes a day is brighter when I get emails from people I have sent or given quilts to. Our best friends from Door County, Wisconsin welcomed their first grand baby three months ago. I sent a simple but colorful quilt for the little man, with the promise of a bigger quilt when he is older. The young couple wrote a wonderful thank you to me along with a photo of their son with his quilt. You can tell they have washed and used it. Just what the quilter ordered! It made my day.
