Quilt #10

This was a Princess Mystery designed by Glenese that I took in April 2006 and quilted and bound in February 2015. Whew! didn't hit the decade mark!!

I am determined to get my tops quilted!

Quilts # 7,8,and 9

What a slacker--not in the quilting department, but in posting here! (Actually, I have an excellent excuse, er, I mean reason!) No photos til now. Does that work??? These three are the same pattern--three more babies are expected by mamas from church, so....

I know one is a girl and the other two are mysteries, well actually they are babies, but clueless as to sex of said children! So I'm covered since I have more baby girl quilts stockpiled. (The fabric was so cute I just made some earlier cuz I wanted to!!) DH took pics of the quilts I have finished, so more later.

Quilt # 6

This is a shop sample--the pattern is called Touchstone and will make a great baby gift or please a 1960's wild child. I love it!!

Quilt #5

This was started in a class in 2004. I didn't think there was enough contrast between the pieced strips and the main fabric, so started over again. BUT I had all these blocks done, so DH took half and arranged them to his satisfaction (that one has yet to be quilted) and I designed this half and finished it in January 2015. Another 10 year project. Sigh....

The color on the main fabric is really wrong--it's actually a dark navy, not brown---I do have better color sense than it looks like!!

Quilt #4

I bought the batiks for this using the gift certificate I got from DH for Christmas--the border I had in my stash that matched perfectly! the pattern is a basic 5 rail.

Just got home from running errands. One perk to doing them with DH is he springs for lunch! Saw a favored nephew at the restaurant--another major perk!!

Quilt #3

This is a string quilt made extra long for a tall dude!

#2

This is a tablerunner I've had done except the quilting for awhile--do you see a pattern here?!? I REALLY want to get all my completed tops quilted. I don't want anyone else to have to deal with them when I'm dead (or looking at the back and examining my piecing!!)

Quilt #1

This was a guild class in the fall of 2004 by Marci Baker--Tumbling Blocks. I finished piecing it in 2007, quilted it last month and finished the binding on January 1, 2015. Ten and a half years ain't so bad.....!

Quilt #22

Well, better late than never! The photographer (also known as DH) came home a day late--planes weren't flying down here on New Years Day, so he worked that day instead. And I'm giving him another chance--actually I have to since there are no back up photographers living here! This is a hunter's star I started in a class Nancy taught earlier this year, so it didn't stay in an uncompleted stage for years like some I have laying around!

Hope you all have a blessed New Year!

Quilt #21

is 36 layercakes topped with 36 charm squares topped with 36 2 1/2" squares all raw edges hanging out! Very easy to do. I think I'll have to fire my photographer--he cut the top of the quilt off!

I also just finished the binding on # 22, but that will be posted tomorrow. I have another one almost quilted, but won't make it for this year! (I DO have other things to accomplish!)

Quilts # 19 and 20

This first one is a Lake Clark Mystery in purple and teal--DH likes this one better than the one in red.

And #20 can't be seen yet--it is the mystery for the quilt guild retreat in Homer in February. (But I will say this: DH liked it!!)

Quilt # 17 and 18

The Christmas twin size was pieced at the Northwoods retreat in Homer this fall. I was smart and ONLY took this to work on. Halfway through I got bored and wanted to do something else but couldn't since this was my one and only project. See, I know how I am and wanted this done for THIS Christmas!! and it was!

And this baby quilt is a BQ3 pattern--the shower is just around the corner and I didn't have time to get more elaborate. I have baby girl quilts stockpiled, but there has been a flurry of boys born at church--no girls :(. And this one put me over the 100 yards used from stash for this year--barely!!

Quilt #16

This will be the last Christmas project I finish in time for use this year. If I don't wait til December 1st maybe I'll have the rest of the stuff done before Christmas next year. Or maybe not.....

Quilt #15

Another panel--this one will end up in my bathroom--I think!

Rats!! I hate it when the photo doesn't rotate correctly! Grrrr

Visitor

This year's bull calf was munching on my peonies and very photogenic!

(Notice our lack of snow!!)
