I need to get the next client quilt loaded. It is a custom, that will be fun to do. The client is not in any hurry for it, but I like to keep my turn around as fast as I possibly can.

June 24th.... Saturday afternoon
Got these two quilts finished for a client. They are going to be used as bedspreads. I love this pantograph, it is called Brilliance. It is one I will do for 1 1/2 cents per square inch for the next few months.

June 23, 2017
Lots had been happening with me. I haven't written on here in a while because I was out of town and part of the time did not have any access to internet when I had time.
Megan and Patrick came the end of May and stayed until the 9th of June. The kids borrowed one of the cars and went on to Moab for ahead of us. Dave and I took the RV and went through Page to Bluff, Blanding and then on to Moab. We had a very good time. We went to Edge of the Cedars Museum in Blanding, Utah. If you are interested in seeing American Indian artifacts and haven't had a chance to see that museum, it is so worth making the time so see. It is the best museum I have been in in a very long time. I was so pleased to see an exhibit of my high school art teacher's art work.
Our time in Moab was very short. We came back to St. George on the 7th and I left for LaVeta, Colorado on the 8th. Rosemary, Cathie and I signed up for a class with Judith Baker Montano. I learned a lot and over all we had a great time. I decided that crazy quilting is not something that I love and probably will not ever do again. I do plan on finishing my project and will post a photo one of these days. Judith's cottage and yard was wonderful!!!! Flowers every where you turned, plus 4 dogs and a few cats. LaVeta was a nice little town. A great place to visit. There were tons of deer in the town. The citizens of LaVeta are very protective of their deer. We stayed at a lovely B &
B called Harding's Corner B & B. I would recommend it to anyone. Sarah Harding, the owner and sole proprietor, was wonderful. Her breakfasts were great too, especially her stuffed french toast! Rosemary and I left a day earlier than Cathie and Jim. We spend the nights, both coming and going, at Rosemary's daughter's home in Durango. I had a great time, but was very ready to be home.
(inside of Judith's Studio). I took other photos of her cottage and the wonderful flowers in her yard, but did not get permission to post them, so I won't. Hopefully posting this photo of the group is Ok.
My father fell and broke his arm while in the shower a couple of nights ago. Dave and I will be going to Moab as soon as we can. Dave will be working until the end of this month and so far has not landed another job. I am sure he will, but it is so hard to just not worry. Our house payment is very large.
I am going to keep quilting for other's. Hopefully I will pick up more edge to edge quilts. I currently only have one custom waiting to go on my frame. I am going to try to be as competitive price wise as I can. The local shops here charge 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cents a square inch. I have a few edge to edge designs that I can do for the 1 1/2 cent price.
I am also working on another pattern for the Moab quilt shop. Currently it is in my head. I have done a couple of quick sketches, but need to do some research into some pictographic images. I want my pattern to be accurate to actual pictographs and not so stylized that it is not recognizable.
I have finished a couple of client quilts and one of my own. I will post photos of my own when I get the binding finished. There are photos on my face book page. I still haven't updated my website or set up anything with pay pal. I did sell one of my pieces before I took off on my trip. I was very happy about that.
Now..... time to get back to work.
Happy Quilting,
Charlotte
