Goodies in the mail

I got 2 packages in the mail. The first package was from Elaine. These beautiful fabric are an extra bonus from Elaine and I had no idea it was coming my way. I also got this pink quilt top from her. Thank you so much!

The same day I got these charm squares from Michelle in the mail. The fabrics goes perfectly with the fabrics I got from Elaine. Thank you so much, Michelle!

I already started to make a few 4 patch blocks from the charm squares...will post pictures the next time. I feel so spoiled with all the lovely goodies I got in the mail.

This is the second Hunter Star quilt I quilted with the panto Curlz. This one was pieced by Pat.

Isn't this the cutest baby quilt made from a panel by Maurice.

More machine quilting

I would like to share a few customer quilts I have worked on the last few days. This first beauty was pieced by my blogging friend Karen from Living Life at Leehaven. She is one of the first blogging friends I have made and her blog was and still is very inspiring to me. So when she asked me to quilt this reproduction quilt for her, I was so thrilled. But also scared...what if I messed up all her hard work.
We decided on the Featheration panto which is one of my favorite designs.

The picture below is a close up of her blocks and her perfect mitered corner.

Showing some of the backing fabric (on the left) which goes extremely good with the top.

It is always fun to quilt a t-shirt quilt. This one was pieced by Sue for her daughter.

The next fat quarter quilt was pieced by Gail. The pattern is in the book Happy Hour, Relax and Enjoy by Atkinson Designs.

I went with the Paisley panto and off set every other row with 25%.

I quilt a lot of Red, White and Blue Patriotic quilts. This is a Block of the Month quilt pieced by Margie. Oops! Me and this computer never get along. With my daughter at school I couldn't figure out how to flip the picture (look at the basket in the top row-really the bottom).

More blocks and the 2 borders.

Red backing fabric.

The last quilt is a blue and green Triple Irish Chain quilt, which I absolutely love!

I quilted this quilt for Marty and went with the Curly Q design, another favorite panto of mine.

Back at the Quilting Machine

I am back at the quilting machine quilting customer quilts and loving every moment of it.

I quilted the first Red Hunter Star quilt for Pat with the panto called Curlz..

The next pastel 1930 quilt is also Pat's quilt.

Pieced yellow square backing.

This Red, White and Blue Patriotic quilt was pieced by Glenda. I think Debra Geissler's Stars panto turned out very nice on her quilt. Oops, I quilted her quilt upside down!

Red flower backing.

The last two Baby Quilts was pieced by Carolyn. I quilted the Pastel Flower quilt with Tammy Finkler's Faster Posies.

Thank you and thank you again!

Thank you so much for all the comments on my little give away and for all the new friends/followers I made. I am absolutely stunned and I could not believe the wonderful response I got. I wish I could give everybody something.

My 13 year old daughter picked the first comment for the winner. Leta's Bits and Pieces can you please e-mail me your snail mail address?

I am so grateful for all my blogging friends and decided to give away this little pink and green quilt with a watering can candle too. And the lucky number is 255, the last comment. Pamdux can you also e-mail me your snail mail address?

It seams like the whole country is having record time low temperatures. Max is staying warm with his new quilt.

Look what I got in the mail...the cutest coffee quilt by my friend, Zlaty from Zlaty Sews. Zlaty thank you so much for the PIF gift. I will treasure this quilt for ever.

I completely agree with this block. I don't think I could go a day without a little caffeine.

Also with Zlaty's PIF coffee quilt, I got this blue snowman panel. It's kind of lucky that blue happens to be my favorite color. If you do have time, please visit her blog.

My Green Strip quilt is quilted and washed.

Close up of the 6.5" trip quilt.

I like the pink and green backing just as much as the front of the quilt.

This is my finished blue and brown quilt. Thank you so much for all the advice in this posting. I went with the second layout.

I had one 4 patch block leftover which I took apart and use as cornerstones. This is an easy solution for the stripe border fabric.

Brown scrappy backing.

Happy Quilting!
