A Picture is Worth...

A thousand words... 

The plan for this post is, post a bunch of photos and type a few words. I have to get back to the quilting frame. I soo need to get a few quilts done. 

...Here is a quick couple photos of Donna's quilt. 

This is my favorite photo of the quilt. She did a great job with color and tone. I love the way she uses plaid in her quilts, and this one is no different.

This was a quilt without a lot of intricate piecing, and I did not have a lot of detail to quilt, but I did what I could. I quilted all the dark gray frames different and put a wreath inside. I just featherdoodled the background and let it go back to the happy owner.

This is the charity quilt I made for my daughters bike charity auction.  I used the Suburbs Quilt pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew, I found on Pinetrest. I purchased some bike fabric and a solid fat quarter tower by Riley Blake, it turned out kind of cute. It ended up being a quick and fun lap quilt that took very little effort, it stitched up so quickly. To finish it off I just gave it a quick swirl and I am in the process of finishing the binding.

For now...

A quick little post.

I have several quilts that I have finished, maybe not as many as I should, but I do have a few that I can check off my list. 

I  am only going to post the pictures of the Hawaiian stack and whack for now. My customers haven't picked up the others and I hate to ruin the surprise. Besides I only have a few minutes and I want to get these posted.

So here I go...

This quilt is one that I have my doubts about. I should have done a couple things different, but I will keep that for me, and just share the photos with you. 

I am going to start with a few of the back, because you can see some of the detail that I fell in love with as I was quilting. (The quilting is a little hard to see, but we only had so much sun today.)

The colors on this quit are so bright, I was concerned that I might have a few thread issues. But I managed to keep the bobbin under control, and I matched the back thread to the fabric :). I even managed to get the Black Magnifico thread from Superior Thread to play nice with the bobbin thread. 

Sometimes I wonder if matching the thread is worth it. There are times when I feel like throwing in the towel, and then there are times when I have to throw in the towel, because no matter what thread I use, I can't get the bobbin to play nice no matter what thread or batting I am using.

Quilting in progress on the frame.

Another in progress before I did the wreaths and the white stars.

 

With the feathered wreaths quilted.

A little closer view.

Another photo with the stars quilted.

 

The lighting makes all the difference.

And now I have to go and make a bike quilt for my daughter's charity. She always gives me about 2-3 weeks notice. Now she needs a quilt bound and ready to go by the 24th of March. Like I have nothing to do?
