Tonight, Tonight

A few nights ago (March 11th) I attend the NH Modern Quilt Guild Meeting.  I was just a tad antsy to be able to hand over a quilt I have had the honor of being able to put my creative spin on.
The piecer and designer of this is Linda Pearl, owner of The Patchwork Pearl.

I do need to give credit to Lisa Calle of Stone House Quilting for her Divide and Design technique.

Till next time

Bad Blogger AGAIN

What can I say.....All the quilting that I have been doing I am not able to show off. And this is typically my slow time, where I get to do some piecing and some reading by the woodstove.
I usually go off to Quilt Camp, and honestly I did make it there......for about 1 1/2 days.....then I started to get a cold and feel icky....so home I went.  I am at the point where I figure it's time for me to just through in the towel on retreats in February. I always seem to get sick before, during or after.....at least for the last several years. :(
Today I finally figured out how to upload photos to Pinterest. Pinterest and I have a love/hate relationship. I love the inspiration but hate the time suck !

on to the quilts

BRRR Baby it's Cold

It has definitely been cold here in New Hampshire!  The brief January thaw got me wishing for an early spring; but the next week we got snow back with wind and chill.  January - February  is typically a slow time for me, so I have been enjoying the time doing a few quilts out of my bins of tops to quilt and reading some by my woodstove; and tomorrow I am off to Quilt Camp with my friends for Heritage Quilters Guild.  Last year we got snowed it, this is beginning to look like a tradition :)

now for the eye candy

Can you find the mistake?

The Start of the New Year

I know, I know January is 3/4 of the way over and I am just getting started..... Ready for the excuses

1.  I have been quilting just for my family
2. The January thaw brought WATER in my basement; which is were my long arm quilting studio is

SO.   Today is contractor day! 

Any minute now the wonderful people from Basement Systems of NH will be arriving to install a pump system so my flooded basement is no longer a worry.

Now to what you all want to see recent quilts

Wishes

Now that all my quilts for customers and family are done.  I can take a minute to rest, relax and have a little bit of fun. 

Most of all I want to wish everyone a Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year!

TA Done !!!

It's Official,  I am now officially done with my customer Christmas quilts!!!

YIPPEE!!! the pressure is off !  I have one t-shirt quilt to do for a family gift and all that is left on that is the quilting.  So, now I can finish my Christmas shopping and shipping and maybe quilt one of my own :)

Decisions, decisions....which one will it be?

Stay tuned and we all shall see


Below the eye candy that has come off my machine in the last few weeks

AAHHHHHH

Yesterday, It finally hit me.  I have to teach a class at one of my guild's on Saturday! and I have to get  (6 more quilts done ) before Christmas. AHHHHH
And I have to get all the candy and chocolates made for Thanksgiving AHHHHH
And I have to get the Christmas presents in the mail by the first week of December AHHHH
And need I go on?

I am prepared for teaching at my guild.  All the patterns are printed, the design boards are done.  I even have volunteer staff to assist me.
I just that nervousness of not having the set up solid in my head and  having not done a workshop in over a year.  All will be fine.

The six more quilts is actually right on track.  I just have to remember to breathe...and all will be fine

Here are few that came of the machine last week
