Happy Snowy Sunday...

As I pop in and out of facebook I see pictures of various locations still getting snow!  I think everyone  is ready for the warm sunny weather that Spring will bring.  Geri posted this morning she's enjoying 61 degrees, I am sooooo ready for it!!  The hubs has once again left the drywall, paint and all of his house repairs to hit the slopes for what will probably be the last skiing of the season.  Good for him!!

 

I've been keeping as busy as ever and my machine has just been a humming!  Here's a few quilts that I'm sharing for today.

 

Let's begin with Mary in NH. Mary brought me these three cute little quilts, I just love them all.  The first one has little hearts, the second has the ABC's and 123 design, and the last one has one of my favorites Cotton Candy.

Next I have Carol.  Three quilts from her as well!!  Good things seem to come in threes!  The first adorable little quilt is for her grandson, loved the little lambs!  The batik quilt for her sofa we finished off using a design called Alex, and the third one was perfectly for the Secret Garden design.  All are designs of Anne Bright.

Next, is a quilt from Laurie.  This is one special quilt, and I know it's going to be well received and loved by it's new owner.

How about this great quilt from Judi!  She could be a one gal show!  I've still got a couple more of hers to finish.  Here's one for this week...

 

Eilene sent me this wonderful quilt to work with.  Love the way she set her blocks!  Very nice quilt, Eilene!!

 

 

Last but not least...One of MINE!!  Yep, can't believe I finally got this UFO finished!!  It was a BOM from Four Pines Quilt Shop from a couple of years ago.  DONE!!  I used the sew by machine binding shown on 52 Quilts in 52 Weeks blog.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this binding method!!  My friend Rhonda had a couple of suggestions that made it that much better!!  You have got to give this binding method a try, trust me you will LOVE it too!! Rhonda's suggestions:  1) stagger your seams, make sure the two colors don't come together in the same spot, reduces bulk.  2) GLUE - grab your Elmer's School Glue and glue that puppy down!  Helps you hit the mark when you do the top stitching.

Well, that's it for this week.  Need to get off of the computer and get the machine working so I've got a few more quilts for next week to show.  More pictures can be seen of these great quilts at my other blog:

Just a few quilts for today...

Here's a few quilt for your viewing pleasure.  I've still got a few more before I'm caught up with the picture takin' and taggin' and loggin' and all of that other stuff.  Since the beginning of the year I've added Picasa 3 to the process of it all.  I like the editing features, the watermarking and most of all the cropping.  But as you can see from the pictures below I didn't quite have it all figured out in some of the photo's.  I have gotten better but still working on the backlog of quilts that I've done.

 

I miss blogging and keeping up with my blogging friends.  I've over committed myself around here and looking forward the pace of my life slowing a bit in a couple of months.  I am going to try really, really hard to stop saying 'yes' and let others pick up the slack a little bit.  With the spring/summer months (I think there are only two, one spring and one summer here in New Hampshire) just around the corner I will definitely be looking to get outside.

 

On with the show.....

 

Tita in VT...isn't this just great?  Love this quilt of Tita's!!  And she told me it's one that she's keeping all for herself!  Smart woman!!

 Pat in VA.  This simple little quilt was made from 5" charms.  The batiks always make striking quilts and with the modern quilting design it's just perfect.

Rachel in NH kept me busy for a couple of days with these wonderful quilts.  The first one with the fish has Bubbles by Anne Bright quilted on it, and it makes the quilt so much fun!  Followed by the little Strawberry Shortcake quilt, perfect for any little girl.

I think Rachel called this design Delectable Mountains.  It would be just perfect if you have a jelly roll laying around in your stash!
