Another "Baby" Finds a New Home!

Hi There!

Do you think of your quilts as your "babies"?

I do.  

I've been known to hold onto my "baby" for several months 

till I'm finally ready to let it go to its new parent.

Well, Lorenza's Quilt left my home fairly quickly.

And, I'm tickled pink that Lorenza's tickled pink!

*VBG*

 And it fits PERFECTLY!!!

Here's a picture of the"back" of the quilt on my clothes line.

A picture of the block, on my design wall.

I did some embroidery on the back of the quilt.

Unfortunately, the sun and/or shade played havoc with the true colors of this block.

And here's the other embroidered heart that was also on the back.

This was a fun project that also came from the heart.

Have a Fantastic Friday!

Lorenza's Quilt and Her Progress

Hi There!

Last Thursday, I went to my Quilt Guild's weekly gathering.  

Once a week, we meet and work on whatever project we wish.

I decided to bring "Lorenza's Quilt" letters to machine applique, 

which I usually find extremely boring .  

I have to admit, 

I found it much more fun to do with quilty friends!

Finally finished piecing the top, Friday!!!

Here's a close-up of her name.

 

 And, as I've mentioned before, if I have any "orphan" blocks, I will now be trying to incorporate them into the back of the quilt.... AND use up any "chunks" of fabrics that are color coordinated with the quilt top!

No more buying solid pieces of fabric for a back!

Gonna use up my stash!!!

Here's a picture of the (incomplete) back of this quilt:

 

 

And a close-up of one of the labels:

 

Can't wait to finish the back 

and bring both top AND back

it to our weekly quilt group 

and do a "Show 'n Tell" with them!

Hope you have a Super Sunday!

Lorenza's Quilt

Hi There!

It feels like I've been either working on client's quilts or working on my 2 or 3 on-going projects and not getting anywhere.

Remember my self-imposed rule?

Do 2 or 3 UFOs and work on a new project.

Well, I'm currently working on an old BOM (Block Of the Month) and machine appliqueing flower blocks to go with it.  I'm also trying to finish off last year's BOM with "Hannah and Harrington". And both of these projects are slow moving.

Sooooo, yesterday afternoon and this afternoon, I needed to BREAK OUT and do something NEW!

A distant cousin and friend asked me to make a single bed quilt for her Mom, who has alzheimer.  

Her Mom loves the color "red".

My friend, Elly, recently posted one of her finished quilts and I was inspired by her blocks!

BTW, if you could go on the web site and VOTE for HER quilt, I'd truly appreciate it!

*grin*

Tilde's Summer Scrap Challenge

Here's my progress, so far, on my Design Wall.

Tomorrow, I have to do a binding - both sides - for a client.  I probably won't have time to play with this one, unfortunately.

Aaaaaand, they're calling for a LOT of snow, tomorrow, too!

Here's a closeup of one of my blocks.  

I'm doing the 2 inch blocks with my scrappy reds and scrappy ivories and whites.

So, in a nutshell, on tomorrow's Agenda:

Laundry

Work on binding a quilt.

Playing with Lorenza's Quilt, if I have time.

Later Peeps!
