Count down to Paducah!

Another week trying to get somewhat caught up on the customer quilts before our trip to Paducah. If I didn't say it, I managed to get a quilt juried into the show!! It is the first one in the photos here (green and purple). The other two are wonderful customer quilts I finished this week. It will be exciting to see something I made hanging with all the exquisite entries from the famous quilters all over the world! I am still overwhelmed by it all. ( but not so dizzy as to miss the hundreds of vendors). Back to the machine!

More quilts done!!

I worked very hard the last couple of days and got some more quilting done. The last one is a monster! 108"x122". Just fit on the roller, or it would have had to been done somewhere else. Now, for some R&R with the TV!! ;)

Working my way out of the pile of quilts!

Oh dear! The show set me back on the quilting, but it was worth it. We made a tidy sum for the guild and now I can get back to doing my customer quilts. Here are a few of the ones I finished last week. Back to the big machine! Susan

Show's over! Back to work.

Whew! It has been a crazy time, but the show is done and it was a big success. I promise to get back on and post more, but now I have to sleep!! Here are my quilts in the show, and Deb Levy by her Best in Show quilt. Fabulous!!

WAZOO! Feb 2011 Retreat

Another free picture slideshow by Smilebox

Long time away!!

I am sorry to have such a gap in the blog, but I have been excessively busy with show quilts and commission quilt jobs. I custom quilted 17 quilts and did pantos on 4 more, as well as making two commission quilt for Christmas presents. Needless to say, I didn't get much else done! I am still working like a madwoman trying to get the last three customer show quilts done so I can finish my own show quilts. The next WAZOO! retreat is in a week, so I will try to get'r done there.Until the next entry, enjoy some of the fruits of my December labors.

Happy Holidays!

The year has flown by and it's time to move on to 2011. There is still much to do to get ready for Christmas and the grandkids, as well as the quilt show preparations really ramping up. I have quilts to quilt and my own quilt to finish, so I won't be blogging too much for a week or so. Thank you for watching this space. Keep watching for the new year news.
Merry Christmas and a very happy and prosperous new year!!

Eleanor Burns was here!

I played hooky from quilting work for three days of fun with Sew Worth It and Eleanor Burns. Tomorrow, it's back to normal... work, work, work! Enjoy a few photos.

Busy, busy, busy!!

I have been working feverishly trying to get the many quilts quilted for Christmas and our up-coming show. Here are a few of the ones I have finished lately! Now, Back to work!

November WAZOO! Retreat

Once again, we had a great time in Sebring at the Kenilworth Lodge. Laughing, quilting and chatting were the main activities, with trips out to dinner and to the quilt shops just for fun. Enjoy the slide show!
