Applique in Progress

Heres a few pictures of my current applique BOM from Common Threads Quilt shop.

This is going to be a donated raffle quilt for our local community Hospice organization.

It's call Pennsylvania Dutch. I am not sure if it's still available.

Did everyone eat too much TURKEY!!!!

Happy Quilting,

Roll Roll Cotton Boll Mystery

Well I'm starting a new mystery quilt by Bonnie Hunter. It's called Roll Roll Cotton Boll.....I have no business starting a new quilt with all my UFO's but her mysteries are great and I can't resist. Here is a photo of step one! Step two will be out on Nov 26th. I will try to keep up!

Till next time,

Barbara

Where was I!

Gee you don't realize how fast time goes......! I guess life gets in the way and you push everything to the back burner and forget.
Since October I have been preparing to move. Finally we are in and getting our lives in order.

Hopefully I will be posting on a more steady basis. As for longarm quilting I have put my customers on a haitus possibly even discontinuing my business side of it. I need to get back and enjoy things again!

Going on a quilt retreat next week to Purity Spring Resort in NH. Will post pics when I get back along with a few projects in the works.

Life is great,
Barb

Sewing

Here's a shot of a fat quarter jacket I am going to attempt to make tonite. It requires 8 fat and 3 1/4 yards of coordinating material. This will be my first attempt at sewing a piece of clothing. I will keep you updated on weather this is for me or not. Tonite will be the first class. Progress pics tomorrow!

Longarm

Now for my longarm happenings. 2nd pic is my Metro Blue "huge" quilt. It was so busy I used an allover "froth and bubble" pattern. Hard to see the pattern because of the fabrics.

First quilt is what I am working on now. It is a quilt I pieced for my 7 year old niece. This is actually the second quilt like this I have done. Once the younger niece got her "grown up" bed she wanted one just like her sister.

Definate custom quilting. Will show more pics when completed.

Well off to some more longarming.

Introduction

Ok....I guess I started this blog and now have to use it. I will post mostly on quilting and some personal happenings.

Current quilt projects.........hmmmm lets see. I better get a list. I am working currently on a Ocean Waves quilt designed by Bonnie Hunter and the Halloween 1904 by Blackbird Design.

I think also I need to join Stash Busters. I am going to move into a new home in the next 2 months and am afraid of what I will find. It will be a good time to really "see" what I have.

Gee......when I go into all the quiltshops I do really have a good intention of really using that 50% off fabric.....:)
