A cute baby quilt made by Ashley for her sister-in-law who just had a little girl after 4 boys:)

3 customer quilts that almost slipped through the cracks. This first one was an all-over feather panto.
A Triple Irish Chain that I did line dancing in the colorful squares and a feather wreath in the white open areas and a chain on the white border.
I recently attended HMQS which I was very excited to go since I've missed the past two years. I had a list of things I wanted to find while there...one of which was some kind of quilt hanging system that I could hang up the upcoming customer's quilt to be thinking of quilting ideas while working on the current one on my machine. There were a couple of different ones to choose from and this is the one I came home with. A metal plate that attaches to the wall with two super strong magnets. Then an inexpensive metal tension curtain rod that I just wrap the quilt top around and clamp with clothes pins and that rod sticks to those magnets great -- very strong attachment. Yippee.
A very pretty quilt by Peggy. I'm not sure the pictures are going to do it justice - it was very pretty when she dropped it off, and at the risk of bragging ~ the quilting turned out great....really makes the quilt!
This is the first time I've tried this particular kind of feather, and it was fun! I'll be using this one again in the future.
Sheri's quilt
I tried to mimic the brown border on the very outside edge of the quilt - then ran a vine with oak leaves down the middle since the panto used in the center of the quilt had oak leaves.
Here is a minor miracle - this is a quilt that I actually made....don't know when the last time was I managed this! Ashley asked me to make this for Kinsey over a year ago and I finally, FINALLY got it done. (Ash threatened me that if I didn't have it done by Kinsey's birthday that she was going out and buying something!) She wanted minimal quilting, pretty much just outlining most of it...had to do more in the green area because it was too large of a space to leave unquilted - went with the crosshatching because I thought it would give a even consistency but not detract.
Notice the little upside down heart - I did that on purpose....there was a secret message there :)
A stunning bed runner by Carla --- love, Love, LOVE it!
the outside border has a seaweed pattern quilted into it and the light blue border, waves. Carla bought these fabrics in Hawaii and it will be a gift for her sister who lives there.
