Busy and happy

I have been keeping busy with quilting and sewing, and it feels good. Customer quilts are coming in and I am able to keep up so far. Here are the customer projects I finished lately.

Cabin Coffee is a coffee shop here in Blairsville, and this customer worked there. She made this quilt from tee shirts from the shop as a birthday gift for the owner.

The panto is steaming coffee cups called Coffee Break.

My friend made this quilt, but is unable to sew right now, so I added the borders and finished the project. It will be a gift for her neighbors on their wedding day.

Panto: Funky fans

Pretty floral backing

I did a couple of QOVs last weekend. Here is the first one.

Simply stars for the panto.

This cute quilt it for a granddaughter who wanted an under the sea quilt. The customer found these adorable fabrics and did a great job on the quilt.

Panto: Swimming fish

Coral and shells on the back

This small wall hanging was custom quilted.

I don't know if you can see my quilting on the back.

Another customer is gifting her mystery quilt from the evening guild to her son.

Panto: Ikat

It looks fun on the bright orange backing!

I made a couple of quilts, too. Slowly getting back into the swing of things.

I bought yardage of an assortment of ombre fabrics and made this 16 patch quilt with them. I used different colors of grunge for the other fabrics in the blocks.

Pattern: Ikat (again!)

I had this Kaffe in my stash for the backing. Perfect!

It may look like I made oodles of tiny monkey wrench blocks, but I didn't. This was a cheater fabric I found on a shopping jaunt to  Marietta a while ago. All I added was the border!

Panto: Inkblot Flowers

I had this sweet floral backing in my stash.

I picked up this quilt from off the porch of the house we were summoned to for discarded fabric. It was a depressing chore because the heir of the lady the home belonged to hired a crew to "clean out" the house so it could be sold. There was a semi sized dumpster full of the homeowner's belongings and furniture, and all the stuff that didn't fit in it was left on the front porch of the house. The cleaning crew had power washed the outside of the house, drenching everything there in filthy water. I found this quilt wadded up in a plastic bin. It looked horrible, but I wanted to save it. I took it home, washed it with Tide and Oxyclean and fluffed it in the dryer. It is wonderful! There are a few places to repair, but it will have a second chance at life here at Wazoo. Soft and fluffy, hand quilted. I love it!

A look at one of the friendship star blocks.

The backing is a green striped fabric.

Well, that's it for now. Mr Wazoo is anxious to go to Home Depot and get pansies for the outdoor pots. They do well over the Winter, adding pops of color in the brown landscape. Then I'm home for an afternoon of Funday-Sunday. I'll catch you on the flip side!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
