We ate the last of the turkey and sides tonight and now it is decorating time. Mr Wazoo has got the jump on the lights. He put his prized twinkling light balls in the dogwood tree and has them lit up tonight. We'll be setting up th tree and decorating it over the weekend. A fun time for us. I love our tree and all the ornaments we've collected over the years.
Meanwhile, I have been sewing and quilting up a storm, getting things done and back to customers.
Here is the silk crazy quilt, all repaired, quilted, bound and with the label they wanted.
This thing weighs a ton! The top was heavy enough, but with batting and backing it is even heavier. The customer wanted it to be a quilt, not just a top. Too bad. There are some cool feedbacks that were used as the foundation for the piecing, hidden forever now.
The backing is a black swirly fabric.
The label turned out better than I expected. The photo is the lady who made the quilt with her seven daughters. Nannie is seated second from the left.
I quilted one customer quilt this week, too. This is a pretty patriotic gift for a son.
Of course, Penny photobombed the picture...
The customer likes to do her own trimming, so the batting is showing here.
Stars and Stripes panto.
Starry backing. Perfect!
I made another Christmas quilt this week, too. One of our neighbors is having a health issue, so I finished it quickly and will give it to him tomorrow. It came out so soft and cuddly!! The backing is really soft flannel.
Mr W commented about the dark green blocks. He says the pattern doesn't stand out on them. I agree, but with a jelly roll you make do with what's there. Not enough lights in this roll.
Snowflake panto.
Wonderfully soft backing.
I made another thing today, but I can't show it to you until after the guild meeting on the 13th. It's a wowser! At least I think so...
Off to bed for me. More quilting fun tomorrow, mixed in with a neighborhood lunch with the ladies. This should be interesting. I only know a few of my neighbors, and there are lots of new people to meet.
Happy quilting!
