QUILT FINISHED!!!!

This is SO exciting!  I sent two quilts out to Tomme Fent, a long arm quilter from our guild - she does FABULOUS work and they came back just stunning!  It costs a few pennies, but it is worth it.

This is the finished product - I orginally called it Confetti Cats, but perhaps, now I will call it Delia's Cats since she is going to get the quilt at the new baby's shower.  I think she will love it.  It should go with anything they put in her room, since they were talking about changing colors and styles.  It's probably a bit "modern" for Nicki, but hey, she can toss it in the corner to make a house for all I care.  It's Delia's quilt.

The quilting is a flower design and in neon pink.  Looks great on the front AND the back!

Kind of hard to see, but it really is awesome.  I plan to show it at our guild show in August!

Happy St. Patty's Day

So since the last post, I have quilted the two Turning 20 quilts, finished 6 charity baby quits, made 75-80 knitted hats, made backings and cut battings for every quilt top I've finished and even repaired a wall hanging that john bought at the snowmobile convention this year.

Not bad. I can actually SEE progress in the "finished UFO" arena.

I am in process of marking another quilt top to take to Marcia's, hopefully over spring break. It's the Lover's Knot quilt top I did, who knows how many years ago.I am going to try doing some motifs this time, rather than free motion. A bit edgy for me. Lots of stopping and starting on the triangle parts. Also have three charity quilts to quilt on the home machine.

I am in hopes of getting at least half of the quilt tops quilted this year - a combination of going to Marcia's and sending them out. I am hoping to send one out during spring break. I want to try the gal in Troutdale. I know it was cost a bit of coin - these aren't the small quilts - so I have to be a bit fussy about when and how many.

It's really nice to finish some things - it makes me feel like I could actually shop a little for fabric one of these days.....
