Inspiration

Two weekends ago I stole a little time to visit the Manusco quilt show
Here are some of the quilts that caught my eye

this is my favorite

 

I also finished this quilt for my sister.  I called it soup is ready

 

 

It's Sample making time

Animal with shoes personal piecing has been suspended for now.  :(

One of my local quilt quilds that I belong to,  Sougheagan Valley Quilt Guild has asked me to teach a jelly roll class. Now knowing how tight some budgets are and try to get things done.  I selected and got permission to use a free pattern for the class.
Of course silly me.........Last time I did this one I made the pattern in patriotic fabric and gave the quilt to a veteran.  So here we go again (Singing in your head with the voice of Dolly Patron)

I like the idea of doing this sample for donation also
But don't have a patriotic jelly roll in hand......so I guess this one will have to  be handed to a female veteran.


Martha, of NH Quilts of Valor Can you find a home for this one after November?

Here are a few she got from the Heritage Guild last week

NO of course not (no panto here) ......but I am doing my favorite thing FEATHERS

I just finished this adorable Owl Quilt

It's been HOT HOT HOT

For the last week the weather in New Hampshire have been more like living down south.

This is both good and bad.

The good.....well my longarm machine is located in my basement

This is cool in the summer and warmer in the winter (big grin). Which means lots of machine quilting is getting done

The Bad ....not much piecing going on here. Also my poor husband has not seen me much either!

So without further ado

Below is the quilting that has been going on

it's banner time

Kris Poor of Poor House Quilt Designs has again honored me with the privildge of quilting some more of her seasonal banner series.  Let me present to you

I also have been honored to quilt this wonderful modern sytle quilt of Sue Boot

 

Start to finish Quilt for customer

Late last fall I had a customer come in and purchase several of my quilt tops that I had made over the years and have them quilted for Christmas presents.  A few weeks ago this same customer asked if I would make a king size quilt with the colors of off white, black and beige/khaki.  So this is what I came up with.  I first showed them the fabrics and the pattern I picked.  Which is a lovey pattern by Debbie Maddy of Calico Carriage Quilt Designs

Next I made a small version of the pattern. Mostly because I did not want to invent hours piecing something that just did not work for them.

After I got their approval, we are now have blocks and are at the layout stage

 

Below is a wonderful Military Quilt by Amanda, that she has honored me to quilt
