Yep, I've been busy or A Parade of Quilts

Recently I posted that gals love coming to pick up their quilts because they get to see all of the ones I have sitting around in my quilting space.  Can't call it a 'studio', don't know why, just something I've gotten hung up on way back in the scrapbooking days.  Everybody had a 'studio', not me I've got a 'space'.  More on that later.  Let's get to it shall we?

Bev in NH
OMG!!!!!  I just about couldn't let go of this cute little puppy dog quilt!!  Bev does such a fantastic job with her piecing and she keeps telling me she's a beginner.  If we all could quilt like Bev there would be no bubbles in the borders, open seams in the quilt, just
a perfect job.  Anyway here is the adorable little puppy quilt complete with
puppy paw prints.

This quilt was a gift for a friend of Bev's, another perfect quilt....

Andrea in NH
Andrea got my name and number from Karen (Kelsey's mom and I've got a Karen quilt on the frame now).  This lovely quilt had been laying around unfinished for a few years.  I got the impression that Andrea loved the quilt, but not the hand quilting. I can completely relate!!  So for about $35 she got the quilt machine quilted and here it is ready for binding....
Tudy in OH
Tudy is a blogger, and is Terry's Mom.  Terry always has great projects on her blog!  Just checked Tudy's Craft Cupboard and the gals have posted lots of pictures and a short story about Tudy's quilt.  The thing I love best about this quilt is the name of the quilting design, Emily.  Emily is Terry's daughters name and the quilting design looks beautiful on this great quilt.  Here's a picture that I have to share...
Betty in NH
This is the second quilt I've done for Betty, it is an adorable little girl's quilt with
lots of colors and pieces!  She did a fabulous job....
Sue in NJ
Sue has sent me a few quilts, but this one is the best yet!  Love the color combination of this one.  Sue now has another great quilt to add to her collection.
Gene in AL
We all know Gene from Gene Black an Alabama Artist he sent me his Lantern Quilt for quilting.  Here's a picture that I got before sending it back to Gene.
Sue in NH
This is another example that simple meandering can finish any quilt nicely.  Here's a quilt that I quilted for Sue, the charge was $35 and her quilt is just about done.  Looks great!!
Joyce in NC
The gals from North Carolina sure do keep me busy, but I see some super fabulous quilts working with them.  Here's the last batch that I got from Joyce, I think she's been working on or through her stash.  Some really great quilt here...



Well, that's it for today!  I still have more that I could post but I need to scoot the feet and get busy!!  Making all of those Thanksgiving plans to cook, picking up Marcy my sweetie daughter later today at the airport and hopefully some friends from Indy will be joining us too.

As always, I've posted more pictures of each one of these fantastic quilts on the other blog pop on over and check them out, you won't be sorry that you did!


Thanks for checking on me,
hugs,
joanne

I was surprised to see my quilt on you blog but it is done beautifully by your quilting.

Do you quilt 24 hours a day? I can't think how you get so much done otherwise.
