Quilting Weekend

I've spent most of this weekend quilting for others. With the exception of Saturday when I spent the day with Mason, what fun he was! Friday I quilted this fall leaves quilt for JoAnn, its her second quilt. I love how it turned out.



I quilted feathers in the border, and on the leaves some detailing. I filled in the blocks with stippling. It took forever, about 7 or 8 hours to quilt, but it was worth the result.

You can see the continuous leaves in the sashing in this picture.



Today I'm quilting a pretty one for my friend Peggy. We swap quilting for binding work. She does beautiful bindings for my quilts. I'll try to remember to take a picture when I'm done, if there is enough daylight left.

Worth the Wait!

This beautiful little quilt was lost in the mail for several months. It spent time in Illinois this winter before heading back to its maker and then eventually onto me in Idaho. (Its that "I" state thing) Anyway, it was definately worth the wait. I love the applique' and the gorgeous star. And.... I love the out of the box shape of it. DH loved it too and it immediately went up on the quilt wall (quilt wall #3 actually) in the living room. Thanks to Toni for making it, and Kate for hosting the ALQS swap it came from.



I finished up my fitness quilt this week, and it is out having the binding put on. I started a new one, I'm calling it my heart healthy quilt. Same rules apply as the fitness quilt. I've got 2 blocks made for it so far. I made my center block today for the spring fling round robin 3 swap. I can't show it as its a big secret, but I can say I love love love how it turned out. Its all packed up and ready to mail to the hostess Margaret. Yay!!!
