13 quilts

The Christmas rush has begun.  I'm seeing quite a lot more quilts this holiday season than I have in the past 2 years...hopefully a good sign.  A friend who does craft shows says she's made about double on the shows so far than what she did last year :)  Very good for sure. 

I had to force myself to take a break and post these quilts, I was beginning to worry I'd forget who did which ones there were getting to be so many.  I still have a pile to do in my work room and people are still showing up at my door with their arms full of quilts, so I assume I'll remain busy for the next month.  Not complaining at all. 

This beautiful quilt is by Nancy.   


the next two are by Lynette

This next one was made by Agnes.
The next 5 are from Idonna.

Next 2 by Charlie
This one by Jone
And the last one I'm withholding the name because the recipient sometimes reads my blog and I don't want to ruin the surprise :)

it's hard to see but there are daisy's here and there between the piano keys on the outer border, the binding will be curved, so the daisys had to be spaced to work with that.

9 quilts

This is a quilt I made for Blake and Sarah's wedding......which was a month ago and I just finally got it finished.  They're lucky to be getting it this quickly, I had to literally shoe-horn it into my schedule, but I finally managed to finish it!
A cute baby quilt by Ages
Another cute baby quilt by Agnes...really like the textured blocks, different.
A third quilt by Agnes, a guys type quilt this time (Agnes is working at catching up on her UFOs).
This is the back...I really like the border design I came up with on this one, wasn't sure if I'd like it - but it's cool.
These next 3 quilts are all the same pattern, just different colors, by Sarah....getting Christmas quilts ready for grandkids.
A super nifty baby quilt by Kassie - she said she made it up....never seen a Dresden plate this large, it is unique.  she's a young gal, kind of new to quilting and she's done some very fun things! Love it!
A second fun little baby quilt by Kassie - look at those cute ruffles (she had her baby last week).

Many quilts...group A (group B is after this so keep reading down.)


I love, Love, LOVE this quilt by Nancy.  I told her I want to borrow the pattern and make one of these some day. 
We discussed how cool it would be if the green was trapunto, but neither she nor I really had much experience with that, but in the end, the way I quilted it - it looks like it was!!  So, win-win!!
This has been the month for baby quilts - this one by Lynette
with "stars and loops" panto
Two quilts by Brenda, the same quilt pattern, but one done with a Christmas theme and the other with a Fall theme.   "Holly Berries" panto in the center with two custom borders.
Here's the Fall one,
"Leaf Pile" panto with two custom borders
A fun Halloween quilt by Agnes which she plans to put on her table for the month of Oct.
I googled "bats" and found a picture that I was able to sketch off and use for the border.
Fun pieced backing for the halloween quilt.  Some of my customers are real creative with their backs and left over fabrics :)
This is the Christmas quilt from above, somehow it ended up down here....don't ask me why.
