I know, I've not kept up with the blog, but I've been getting ready for the annual quilt show. The results are in!  7 entries....8 ribbons!  Hurray!

This one is a wallhanging that was the round robin. Deb Cavanaugh did the quilting & Judy Lee did the embellishing. We took 1st place in class & Merit Honors on the quilting.

This is Rose Log Cabin. Pattern is from Deloa Jones. I had proposed this one to be the raffle quilt for 2015 to the guild, but they chose a Civil War one instead. Oh well! It now has a 2nd place ribbon on it!

Continued in next post......

 

Whew! I'm exhausted! This is the reason!

This is our newest addition to our  family!  Koal Gage entered this world at 5:43 p.m. Oct 1st.  Weighing in at 8 lbs 12 oz & 21 1/2" long.
Welcome to the family!

After all the sneek peeks.....here's the Carpenter's Star! All ready for the show!

I matched the binding to the border. I think it came out great!

Now let's see if it wins any ribbons!

I guess it's time to catch up on the blog.
A very dear friend of ours was diagnosed with stage 4 Breast cancer. What do quilters do? Make them a quilt!

We're meeting for lunch this next week & I'll be giving it to her.  Complete with a bag to carry it in  when she goes for treatments.

I sure hope she likes it, 'cuz I sure do!

Where does the time go?  I've been busy, that's for sure!
Here's a couple of quilts for a customer that I just did.

Just a little freemotion playing!

I liked that one so much that I made one for myself, only smaller.  It's going to be in the quilt show this year.

I named it "Black Tie Affair"

Well, I've been busy these last couple of weeks.  Here's a baby quilt for a customer.

Then, I had been over at Virginia & we were going through some stuff that had come with her longarm (she bought it at an estate sale) & ran across picture from a quilt show in 1997. One quilt really caught my eye. A Bow Tie. In studying it, discovered it was the 10-minute block! So I came home, went through my charms & made this...........

I decided to give this one to our newest Grandson, due in October.
