Customer's Vintage Butterfly Quilt
This quilt belonged to my customers' mother. It is old, probably from the 40's spanning through to the 70's. I outlined the butterflies and did a loopy meander around them. I then did leaves with beadboard in the borders. Leaves in the sashing too.
T-Shirt Quilt
I did this for a customer whose daughter was at Virgina Tech when the terrible shootings happened. I used my Circle Lord Pampas Grass big board for this. They loved it!!
The first picture is of an old cupboard that was made by my great grandfather. Otherwise I might have pitched it. The bottom half has been sanded and painted. Dear hubby put new backs on it for me. I am still working on the top half.
The second picture is my library wall, then my storage for my Circle Lord boards and finally a shelf system I had an Amish carpenter make for me. It holds 150 bolts of fabric!!

Block Swap
I am working on my blocks for the swap! I think I will be finished today; then priority mail to Doodlebug University!
This is what thy will look like. Whadda ya think? I am supposed to sign them; and I think with a first name like I have maybe that is enough. Besides that, my last name is veeerrryy long and probably wouldn't fit! :o!
Pretty, huh? I thought so. Now I only have about 8 more to make!! Get sewing, girl!!
I went to my friend's house Friday and saw her new machine. An HQ Avante with the Studio Frame. A very sweet set up. It took any thread we threw on it, and we didn't have to fiddle with the tension. It also made beautiful stitches! Now, I have an APQS Millennium that I love and would not trade for anything; but I quilt for a business. She only quilts for herself, and now she has this honey of a machine. I can't wait to see what she turns out next!! All her quilts are gorgeous!
Off to my blocks! Thanks for looking!
