Another weekend is half gone! I did get a lot accomplished today though. I finished this client's quilt. I have been doing one of these old quilt tops for her each month. This is the 4th. These blocks were made by her mother and are made from feed/flour sacks. I am happy with how it turned out. I did put a lot of thread down on this one. It had issues and I felt the small loops made it look nice.

It has been a busy week so far... I finished this clients quilt today. She brought it to me Monday afternoon and wanted the large (22 inch) borders added.  The client chose Superior Thread Sew Fine variegated thread. I was afraid the thread was going to be to light. It turned out pretty good. I think she will be happy. She needed it done by Thursday. I got it done.... got the binding cut, sewn and prepared. I sewed the binding down with my domestic machine and it is all ready for the client to do the hand sewing of the binding.

4th of July....

Candice and I went to Scrap Apple's 4th of July sale today. We picked up some material for her to make a quilt for a couple of friends that are getting married. Now she has to do it make the blocks and assemble the quilt. 

I got the bindings sewn on both of these quilts.... and hopefully with have them on their way to the owner by the first of next week...

I hope everyone has a great 4th of July.... we are just going to stay home. It's hot and windy.

Happy Forth of July!

June sure got by me fast! I have been pretty busy. I don't have quilts waiting to be quilted, but seem to always have one on the frame. That is great!
I finished Kay W. quilt. She picked it up yesterday and was very happy  with it. That makes me feel great. The lady I have been quilting old quilt tops for, picked one up and dropped another off.
I have one side to sew down on a binding on the large customer quilt. I am glad to get these quilts finished.
The Fiber Art class I teach at Scrap Apple was fun yesterday. There were only two students there. Really only one student and Jean J. She does not need my instruction.
I did not take very many photos of Kay's quilt. The fabric is very busy and the quilting is minimal. I used a stencil to do all the blocks. I free handed the small inside border and used a stencil and chalk to quilt the pattern in the purple border. I just did un-even piano keys in the border. Kay chose a Superior Thread Rainbow thread. I feel it worked up very nicely. Just the right amount of quilting.

Sunday

I can't believe how fast June is rushing by. I have been working on customer quilts... got two finished this week. I am happy with both. I did not take photos of Charm's Art quilt though, so can't post those.

Wed

Here are photos (not very good photos ... sorry about that) of the client quilts I have been working on over the past month. I still have to add bindings on the two large ones. I currently am working on a small art quilt for Charm C. 

Dave's sis and brother-in-law will be here in a few hours. We haven't seen them for a very long time. I am afraid they are going to be shocked by the heat! It is very warm here...over 100 right now. It is windy and when you step out into it it feels like you are stepping into a blow dryer! There are a lot of leaves and petals in the pool....... but it still feels nice.

I hope the wind stops later this evening, so we can enjoy the pool!
