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.

Well, here's some more on the Carpenter Star.....Final will come tomorrow, as it's almost finished!

I know, beat me with a wet noodle, I've been neglecting my blog!  Here's a pic of the girls with Floyd. He'd just gotten home.

Aren't the the most precious little girls??

I've been busy working on a Carpenter Star quilt for our upcoming quilt show in October. It's 84" X 84".
Here's the border & sashing.

More to come!

Well, ya'll know we got the girls just a few weeks ago. They apparently weren't socialized at the breeders & have had a hard time being around people, but we're progressing alright. Housebreaking has been trying, but I think we've finally turned the corner on that one & it's almost done. Still having a little mishap once in awhile, but for the most part, they're there.

Here they are helping Mom in the office. Great help they are, huh?

I did finish the other 2 9-patch tops. I was having so much fun playing with those 2 pieces!

Here's the light one. A little ruler work, a little stencil work. Came out interesting.

I did a little crosshatching on this one. It doesn't show up very well on the dark fabric, but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be to do. I like it anyway.

I have Black Tie Affair on Queenie right now. Stay tuned to it's outcome!
