Rag Quilt

I have had this quilt laying on bed in basement for probably two months now. It was started a few months back. I bought this for my granddaughter to learn to quilt. We worked on it maybe a couple of times. First we sandwiched the blocks together with the square of batting. Next I started embridering designs on it and when she came she would sew around them. Well, she started in school and got so busy with the band that she didn't have time to work on it. I thought I should finish it for her before she grew up. Now it is together and I will cut around the blocks as I take breaks. At least it is together. Now I will be anxious to wash it so I am sure I will be cutting every chance I get.

Redwork Baby Quilt

I quilted a baby quilt tonight and put the binding on it. This one has closer stippling than normal. Took twice the thread for this one and twice the time. I don't think I could do a large one with this small stippling very fast. I have a large quilt to do and I will be caught up unless someone brings another one. I can get to piecing some I got started or quilting some I have ready.

Accomplishments this week

I feel I have accomplished a little in a weeks time. I have quilted 5 large quilts and 3 crib size and put binding on all of them but one. It has been the best quilting week since I got my machine in January of this year. Yesterday I quilted two crib size quilts, put binding on them and also put binding on the large quilt I finished the day before. I hate to say it has taken me a year to learn this machine. I am looking forward to more weeks like this one. I'm not saying it was done fast because it took long hours to accomplish each quilt.

Sampler

This is a Sampler quilt for Pam Ward. I finished quilting tonight around 11:30pm. This is a beautiful quilt. It looks like a fun quilt to put together and I would like to make one. I don't know the name of a lot of these quilts cause they are for someone else. Will put the binding on it tomorrow. It is already cut, folded and pressed. I most always cut the binding for these quilts as soon as I get them. That way I will have it ready to put on as soon as the quilt comes off the frame.

Bugs Crib Quilt

Today I thought I would quilt a smaller quilt although I got two large ones in line. I quilted this Crib quilt for Phyllis. It is for her granddaughter. She said she had told her daughter she had made her a quilt and the kid has continually asking about it. I think she said she was about 4 years old. I thought since it don't take as long I would put it in and quilt it and have time left for something else. Well I had time to get one of the larger ones in the frame to start on in the morning.

Appliqued Rose

Got another one quilted and binding on it. This is a hand appliqued Rose. This one is for Barbara Cassidy. The stitching is great on it. If you notice, it doesn't have a border on the ends of the quilt. This is the first one that I have seen like this.
