A Collaboration of Talents

Denise and I collaborated on this quilt.  She finished the individual blocks, assembled them together.  Hand pieced the blocks and sashing.  Amazing!  This the before picture.



And here are some after pictures.





And one outside.





I enjoyed working on this top.  Hoping the owner will enjoy our efforts.

Scrappy Stars

My Scrappy Stars is a flimsy of sorts.  I plan to put borders on it.  Got tired of looking at these blocks on the design wall and picking them up off the floor.







As for today, I have a vintage butter fly top to get quilted.  It's a joint effort between Denise and myself to get this top to completion so it can be enjoyed.

So it's time to go sew.

It's quilted

I quilted this spool top last Monday and did not post it.



My inspectors are taking their job seriously.





I can't wait to snuggle under this quilt.

Quilting

Yesterday I quilted two tops, each very different.



And up close.



Next up is a strippy that used massive amounts of batting scraps and fairly dense quilting.  Leaves, lots of leaves.



And close up.



Today I must attend to a few errands and chores around the house.  I may get to sew this afternoon.

SMILING

Thanks to those who emailed me to check to see if I was ok.  Truth is that I have been working on Liz's red, pink cream eye fooler quilt.  It's almost king size.  I have the top almost finish but had to stop as I ran out of cream fabric.  I have ordered more and I need to decide on a backing.  I have one in mind on craftsy.  Can't show you until after May when Liz sees it.

I have been also working on my SMILE quilt.  Yum!



And in the evenings I stitch bindings and or do appliqué.





There is freezer paper stuck to the oak leaf.  It will come off when I wash the block.

Until later and sew on,
