October quilts are finally posting!

Finally!!  Well, I sorta stopped due to the giveaway that I just closed. It was fun for me to see the number of quilts that people thought I had quilted.  Some a bit too high and others...a bit low.  
Loved hosting the giveaway, it's always fun to read the comments.

October was another outstanding month for the quilts.  
Don't forget you can click on the photo for a closer look!
Here we go....

First we have a greenish batik from Polly.  Simple, but the choice of colors are so soothing.  With the simple design the overall feel of the quilt is calm. Finishing it off with a simple quilting design was just perfect!



Polly's second quilt so full of color!  I love the way she has mixed just a touch of purple with the blues.  



A very, very special quilt from Cathie in CT.  Blocks were gathered from a group of gal who attend a retreat together.  Quilt was a wedding gift from the group to Cathies daughter Nicole.  (Wedding was Saturday!!)  Cathie laid the blocks to resemble the sky, mountains and water using the different colors of the fabrics.  She did an excellent job!  Keeping the outdoor theme we selected a quilting design that had fish, moose, and a few cattails!  All were perfect for Nicole and Todd's quilt!



Here's another one of those girlfriend quilts!  I really don't get tired of seeing them.  The meaning behind the quilt, a great and strong one!



Next is a couple of quilts from my gal Dorothy in WA.  She has been keeping very busy!  She tells me the first quilt was constructed using the scraps from the second quilt.  The pineapple quilt just about make her crazy, but she endured and got it done!  So happy she did, what a fabulous quilt!!





Karen finished this cozy 1600 quilt.  The soft colors and fabric design called for a more traditional quilting design.  It finished up beautifully!  Great job Karen, this I believe is her second quilt.



Jennifer made this sweet quilt for her little on who is moving into her big girl bed.  We decided to go with two layers of betting making it fluffy and soft!  Using the Flutterbyes quilting design finishing it off just like her big sisters quilt! 



Up next we have a yin-yang quilt done in earthy batiks from Katie.  Very cool the way she mixed all of the fabric colors and sizes of the block.  With the blocks having either an animal print or leaf we decided to go with a fun paw print for the quilting.  



Mary Catherine....broke loose from the 1600 for one quilt and pulled an adorable little girl quilt full of little girl happy fabrics.   Kidding aside Mary Catherine has done an amazing job this year of finishing quilts!!  She is going to or  has made a lot of people happy with the gift of quilts.  LOVE the fabrics on her blue one!







Pat brought in this Delectable Mountain quilt for me to work with.  She made it for a young niece graduating.  Using layer cakes to construct the blocks she told me it was pretty easy.  I've added this one to my "list" in hopes of using up a layer cake or two.  We decided to go with a very circular quilting design which I think finishes it off perfectly!



Penny had me quilt up this panel for her.  I believe it's for a grand and the dil was pretty excited when she received it all finished.  It's a pretty popular design that Penny's dil had seen in a decorators magazine.  Good job Penny!!



Katherine, Katherine, Katherine.....she has kept me a bit busy every now and then.  I think piecing makes her happy and what a happy gal she is!  I have seen Katherine come a long way since her first quilt.  Keep up the good work!  And I love having Katherine and her hubbie, Pix stop and see me!  So delightful!  Here's a few of the quilts from Katherine in October.  














That's it for October!  I hope to be back very soon with the November and December quilts.  I'd like nothing more than to get back on track and current with all of my posting!

I do post more photos at the other blog: 

Until then,
