Phyllis/FL & her Feathered Star quilt, made at Borderline Quilt Camp, Aug 2003.... This was a class Terry and I took at the Borderline Quilt Camp in Upper New York. Not only did Terry and I have a great time at class, this was a quilt top my husband said we needed to use, so it is my quilt topper in our motorhome that we spend about 5 months out of the year in.

Needles makes the cutest cuddlies..... Needles made this bear for her DD. There are pearls and sequins all over the dress. The bouquet matches the one her DD carried.
One of TY's latest projects - the DWR. (Smoky was smitten by what looks like many daisies - and had to ask!!!! Double Wedding Ring!!!)
Wendy,
aka Sara-ON sends in a "snapshot" of her world.... It’s
been a busy month in my household, adding my long arm to my life ... and the
life of my daughters - it sure takes up a significant part of the living room
while I wait to finish my studio! |
|
|
The
first pic is of my daughter Katie who can’t wait to start using the longarm, she's
quite proficient on the domestic machine. (She’s my little sales girl) |
This picture I took on Dec. 26 of my deck showing the snow accumulation so far, I love the way the stars show up.

A panel I used for practice, it’s all freehand. |

my Data dude who needs to be near me no matter what I’m doing.

Here are
the men in my life. Mikey and Data. They are protecting us from the
squirrels in this shot.

Construction of a studio - for the longarm!
|
My studio
is now painted a pretty butter yellow, and the girls have painted their room behind
it half piglet pink, that’s the same dark pink on the Barbie boxes, and then tigger
orange. It's a very intense bedroom LOL but it has a door LOL.
I thought the yellow would be more uplifting. The electrician is coming tonight, VBG, and I'm hoping to have the whole project finished in a couple of weeks and then my new baby (longarm) will have her home. |

JO-IN's busy finishing off more projects!!
This is a "Mystery Row Quilt". Made it several years ago from either Traditional Quiltmaker or Quiltmaking Today magazine. Pieced the top, sent it off to be hand quilted by a gal in Arkansas and got it back. Folded it up and put it away. Decided to do a bit more holiday decorating this year and got it out and hung it up. |

Heart in Four Corners. This quilt is
that it was part of a challenge from qD's home guild in Enfield CT. It was started in
about 1994. All the colors from the challenge fabric except the white were to be used and
we could add up to three more colors and we could take away one color. qD used
all of the challenge fabric and one color - only the white. It is hand appliquéd
and then machine quilted by me. When she arrived here in Florida this year
('05), she started the machine quilting of it - on January 3rd and had it done and bound on
January 5th. The first UFO for the year completed and done..... well it only took 11 years.

I
ordered Ricky Timms' book last summer and decided to try out the technique with
fabric from my stash before spending $$$ on special yardage. The first
piece, African Convergence, was made with 2 authentic prints I had bought years
ago on a whim and then didn't know what to do with. The pieced top sat on
the shelf for a couple months before I added the spirals. In the meantime, I
began the second, using four bold colored prints. Half way through, I
decided I didn't like it. The strips hung on my flannel board for months
and my DH kept asking what I was going to do about it. He said that HE
liked it even if I didn't, so I said after Christmas I would finish it for him.
