Happy Valentine's Day



Happy heart day! My DH said after he saw the price on three measly flowers he decided I could use the money for quilt stuff. OH YEAH! That works for ME!!! I think he was a little heart broken because he really wanted to get me the flowers. Not me, I'm a happy Valentine. My stuff will last longer than the flowers anyway.
So, here's how I spent some of my $$$!

My Next Project! It's Flannel!!



Here is my next project. It's flannel . Warm and snuggly it will be! It just sort of pasted to my design board; so if you see missing spots that's why!
I shopped for this fabric last year; so I am really happy to get 'er done!

Another view


Here are some close up pictures of the sashing and border. It is nt the most perfectly pieced quilt but it made a nice remembrance for the family.

Customer's Vintage Butterfly Quilt

This quilt belonged to my customers' mother. It is old, probably from the 40's spanning through to the 70's. I outlined the butterflies and did a loopy meander around them. I then did leaves with beadboard in the borders. Leaves in the sashing too.

T-Shirt Quilt


I did this for a customer whose daughter was at Virgina Tech when the terrible shootings happened. I used my Circle Lord Pampas Grass big board for this. They loved it!!
The first picture is of an old cupboard that was made by my great grandfather. Otherwise I might have pitched it. The bottom half has been sanded and painted. Dear hubby put new backs on it for me. I am still working on the top half.
The second picture is my library wall, then my storage for my Circle Lord boards and finally a shelf system I had an Amish carpenter make for me. It holds 150 bolts of fabric!!



Ok it's time I got on this! Geesh! 10 months!
I have pictures of my studio to share and pictures of some quilts too!!
