A week's work at WAZOO

We have been busy getting quilts finished for snowbird customers, as well as working on the backlog. There isn't much news because of it. I guess you could call us dull, indeed!
Except for the Gulf Coast Uni. Eagles going to the sweet sixteen, it is business as usual in Southwest Florida. GO EAGLES!!
Here are some of the quilt from last week.

Another memory quilt by Carole's Quilts made from a man's ties. Mr Wazoo quilted it

Suwannee Valley Quilt and craft festival

What a better way to spend a day than having a road trip to Trenton, FL for the annual outdoor quilt show? The whole town turns into a crafty and quilty wonderland ours for the taking. Three friends and I arrived early in the morning and stayed until closing enjoying the beautiful weather, antique cars, crafts and mostly the quilts. I hope to go there again next year. Until then, you take a look at the fun we had.

Mr.WAZOO, Employee of the month!

I have been busy going to quilt shows and Mr. Wazoo has been holding down the fort and quilting happily. I am so impressed, I made him employee of the month! Of course, he is the only employee I have, but he is the best darn worker I have ever seen.  I have such a huge quilt on the frame now, I am sure it will take a week at least. The upside is that it is out of this world beautiful, and fun to work on. Stay tuned for the results. Here is last week's output from Wazoo.

A Grand Day Out at the Sarasota show

My gal-pals and I took a road trip to Sarasota today for a show and a mini shop-hop. It was just the thing for a cool sunny day in Florida. The show didn't fail to entertain and the vendors were drool worthy. I bid on a set of antique dresden plate blocks, but I'm not getting my hopes up because the show is on again tomorrow. We'll see.
After the show, we had a filling lunch at the Amish restaurant, then set off to three local shops for some quality fabric fondling. Everyone bought something, helped the local shops stay in business ( we are a caring bunch, aren't we?) and agreed it was a wonderful diversion from the daily grind. Home again, home again, jiggidy jog so the girls could make their dinner dates with the husbands.
I made a little slideshow of the quilts that tickled MY fancy. I hope you like them, too!

Mel2's comment

Amazing Jelly Roll Quilt Pattern by 3 Dudes!

Hi everyone, I had a comment from Mel2 (another blogger) but am unable to find a way to answer her (him?)
I make loads of quilts, mostly from patterns in books, magazines, and free tutorials and patterns found on line. I don't design many things, but when I do, they are mostly pictorial or whimsical quilts for one challenge or another.
I love that other people have the time and talent to design patterns for us drawing and math challenged quilters! I get inspiration from nature, architecture, photographs and sometimes from out of my own imagination. It seems there are so many quilt ideas swimming around in my head, I don't have room for much else there!
As for you, Mel2, email me and ask what quilt pattern you like, and I will try to send you an answer and even the directions for it.
Thanks for your interest in WAZOO! quilting!
