Long Time Gone

 I did not mean to be away so long.  Life has a way of doing that…

February took me on a trip to Panama which was fabulous. One of the highlights was seeing the Panama Canal in operation. We stayed in a eco lodge where everything was taken care of. So cool. 

Three weeks later and I was traveling to St John in the Virgin Islands. It was a action packed trip. Every day we hiked and snorkeled in the most beautiful aqua waters. We saw many beautiful sea creatures. I felt my age on this trip and didn’t like that. 

I think I have recovered for the most part and now need to get my studio in order. I started today by putting stuff where it belongs. I have things to do and a few quilting jobs to accomplish. 

Here are the quilts that have been completed in the last quarter. The Quilty hugs quilts will be delivered tomorrow as I will be in the area getting my car serviced. 

This is a baby quilt for a co worker who I loved.  She got married and had a little girl.  I designed this little quilt and love it.

This next one was donated by C. Thanks. 

The next three
were pieced and donated by Lisa T. Thanks Lisa. 

This next one is for me and my queen size bed. It was a leader ender challenge from Bonnie Hunter a few years back. I made so many blocks that I will have to make another quilt to use them up. 

Sorry I have been away so long. The cross stitch bug has bitten me and one of my posts will highlight some finishes. 

Hope everyone is well!  🐸

Love Quilts Abound

 I have been chipping away at the pile of love tops waiting on me.  One by one I am slowly getting them done. My friend S came and picked up ten to bind. Yay!!!

That’s all for now.  I’m headed downstairs to load a quilt.  🐸

Something for Me

 I finished this top at retreat last September 2021. It’s massive!

It was a leader ender project from Bonnie Hunter that really clicked.  I have a sizable bag of blocks left over which may become a lap quilt.  I’ll post better pictures later.  🐸

Time has slipped away

 From me. I truly did not mean to go this long without a post. 

The quilt drive for the Haywood flood victims was a great success with over 124 quilts completed. I did get a little burned out but have been back in the studio finishing chemo quilts.

This was a top donated from Nancy F.  It was supposed to have appliquéd flowers but I just did fancy quilting.  I really played with pro-stitcher and had fun!

Nancy also donated this stripy top which I added a small border to make it a little larger.  I like these quilts to be snuggled when getting treatment. 

The next two are from Lisa T.

I have been stitching the many inches of binding on these quilts.

A nice picture of the kitties sleeping the afternoon away.

And a cross stitch piece I finished myself. It is hanging on the fridge by way of a magnet.  I am stitching my evenings doing cross stitch as it is very peaceful. 

Back soon with more updates. 🐸

Ten More Quilted

 And delivered. 

Of course blogger had to turn them upside down lol. 

Love quilts quilting continues

 The quilting continues on most days. I usually quilt up two or three tops.  They are smallish so it doesn’t take forever to get them done.  They are quilted with a medium meander stitch.

I turned in a bunch Tuesday and received the last 20 tops.  Exhale a big sigh of relief!

The pictures do not show another eight completed that I had in my car.

Our goal was to make 100 quilts and I think we will make that goal.🐸😀

Leader Ender Quilt Top

 I promised a better picture of my leader ender quilt top so here it is.

Sorry about the picture orientation, blogger did that!
