Updates

Next week I am going to start a NEW quilt #4. Carol sent me a picture of what she wants, so I've done some serious shopping and next week I will piece it. I should have no problem getting it all quilted by first part of December. After all, I've only been quilting on the other one for a couple of weeks and I'm 3/4 the way done with it. I am going to set it aside and just concentrate on the new one now. It's all good. I will complete the king-sized one at a later date and either put it on a spare bed in my house or give it away in the future.
I am really excited about the pattern that Carol chose. It's called Garden twist. I just hope my fabrics will all work together o.k. If not, it's back to the fabric store.
Jess has been busy choosing her favorite patterns so we can make baby quilts, toys, and accessories for the nursery. She is going to have a girl, so this should be fun! It's obvious what I will be doing in 2010.

Quilt Labels

New day and more rain. Well, at least we had one nice, sunny day yesterday!
I spent this rainy afternoon making quilt labels for the first three quilts that I've finished so far this year. One of the photos would not come out right, so left that one off. Looks pretty much like the other two, except words are different, of course. Just a white computer-printed label surrounded by a blue border.

Progress

I had a hard time getting my pictures to post today, so had to do them one at a time. So, no comments about 'why didn't you do it THIS way?' Back to my quilting chair.

Progress, continued

Completed Quilt Top

I am now in the process of marking the quilting lines on this quilt top. It will have a lot of quilting in it, and I have six weeks to complete it.
I hope now I can find the time to get it done.
This is a king size quilt top, so it will be a
challenge.

New Flower Bed

This is a new flower bed that Jacob made for me by the front deck. We will plant bulbs in there later this fall and hope to see beautiful blooms in the spring! It already looks so much better than nothing at all.
