Nosegay Floral Customer Quilt

This is a lovely quilt I just finished up for a great lady, friend and customer - Joan.  I used a floral pantograph called "Flowering Pond" by Nancy Johnston. Legacy 80/20 batting and a beige polyester thread. This one was a bit of a challenge as the prairie points were already on the quilt so I had to be careful not to catch them when quilting. Fairly happy with the outcome.

Turning Twenty - Customer Quilt

Wow this was another huge quilt from a dear customer Lisa (98"x112").  I think she mentioned it's for a wedding gift for, if I remember correctly, a cousin.  This gal is a fairly new quilter and doing an amazing job.  I am so pleased when I see young people taking up the art of quilting.  I quilted it freehand "Meandering with Attitude" swirls,  using Warm & Natural batting and Wonderfil Mirage variegated thread (lots and lots of it). :0)

Watermelon Quilt

Hi Everyone - Yes I'm still here and slowly getting back to normal.  Hubby is now home from the hospital and doing well - thank you everyone for your kind messages.  I have been working in the studio and believe it or not I am a bit ahead of schedule.  We were hoping to get away to BC for a few days but hubby wasn't feeling up to it so I just kept on quilting. 
This is the latest project finished.  Isn't it the cutes quilt ever.  No it's not mine - a customer left it for me to do a freehand on - so "Meandering with Attitude" it was.  I think it is sooooo cute!
