Wonky Feather Quilting

I've been practicing this wonky feathers quilting that I learned on my pajama quilter DVD, and I think I'm finally getting it nicely. This is a quilt made by someone I know. She had embroidered all the blocks, and then I sewed them together, quilted and bound it. She hasn't seen it yet, but I think it turned out great!

Here's the front


And the back.....


I've also been making more baby quilts, they are quick and fun!

Dwirling

I received my pajama quilter dvd the other day, and I finally got a chance to try the dwirling technique on this baby panel I had in stash. I think I paid a dollar for the panel last year on a clearance sale. Anyway, it turned out really cute, and just in time as I found out yesterday I am going to be a grandma! (not Nellie) Quite the surprise. So here's the first picture.....

this is a fun technique, and I love how it turned out!

Since Christmas

I've been busy busy, and haven't blogged a thing. Let's play catch up here.
Here is Nellie opening her Advent Calendar on Christmas morning. I think she loved it.

And.... here is Al opening his Christmas Quilt later in the day....

These are blocks I've been making as leaders/enders for round three of Krista's framed four patch swap, soon to be posted on about.com quilting forum.

I finished hand piecing my second Dahlia, here it is....


I've been playing along with Bonnie's mystery quilt, Carolina Crossroads, and finished catching up on the steps friday night. I'm all set for the next step to be revealed this week.

I received a quilting instruction dvd yesterday in the mail by the pajama quilter, Dawn Ramierez, and tried her wonky feathers quilting on this quilt yesterday....




Horrible lighting, I hope the quilting shows up in this picture..


I quilted this yesterday also, it is a crib size quilt.




Here is the back of it


I also quilted this little lap sized quilt up this morning


Last week I quilted and bound the penny pincher 9 double four patch quilt, and mailed it to my neice Ashley, in Missouri. I hope she received it, I haven't heard from her.

I sent Emily the beautiful turning twenty quilt made with the Fuscia fabrics, mailed that this week also, hope she received it, I haven't heard from her either. hmmmmm quiet little neices I have eh?
I've been working on this today, it will be for Enid, (great neice) she needs a big girl bed quilt, all she has from me is a small crib size quilt.

I think that catches me up, except for the yummy chicken enchiladas I made this morning. One dish will go to my in laws tonight for dinner, one for us here for dinner, and two to freeze for later. Yummy!
