I said I would share some Friday finishes with you - but I didn't say at what time. I seem to be still running about a day behind for some reason. It was kind of a messed up day. I did need to get a plumber out to my house. I have been almost a week without being able to do much laundry or dishes. I was originally going to fix it myself but I finally gave in and just hired someone.
Even with all that, we still had a few more quilts get over the finish line. Local quilter Kelly brought me a couple quilts she had longarmed. This scrappy X block was sent in by Mina. I love the bright colors and the use of black/whites. Elizabeth sent in this lovely turquoise backing that really finished off the quilt nicely and shows off Kelly's fun quilting. The rest of the quilts all need to be bound before I can share them.
I think it has been a while since we have seen any Happy Quilts. This one is all about the ocean. Jeanne sewed up the blocks and pieced the backing. The dolphin print was sent in by Tina and Dorothy sent in the yellow piece. According to my records, this is the 97th happy block quilt we made from the block drive over a year ago. We still have a few more blocks to get too!
Charlene put this quilt top together using a layercake sent in by Karen. Charlene and I have been going through some of the precuts on the shelves and coming up with designs to get them used. I think this one turned out great. We used a blue print sent in by Nann for the back and then local quilter Laura did her thing.
Check out this stunning quilt! This amazing pattern is by Yvonne of Quilting Jetgirl. It is called Triangle Transparency and it is available to purchase on her site. This lovely quilt top was sent in by the mother/daughter team Linda and Margie. We were able to find a soft green print sent in by Elizabeth for the back and Laura did a wonderful job quilting it.
Yvonne has a bunch of other lovely patterns in her shop if you want to take a look.
In the mail today, there were a couple finished quilts. Thanks so much Cheryl for this lovely dog-themed quilt.
Cheryl also sent in this scrappy winter themed quilt. The top is all flannel with skiers and snowmen. On the back is a lovely map print. Both quilts are very appreciated and will definitely brighten someone's day.
Hope everyone has a stress free weekend. I just realized that Christmas is next week so I am guessing many will be out picking up last minute shopping.
