Quilts, quilts.....

Here's the second blog posting.....
 
Sandra in NH
 
I LOVE the blues and the bubbles that we did on this quilt. This quilt was for a man and the light colors and the circular quilting design is perfect!!  LOVE IT!!!
 
 
Karen in NH
 
This BEAUTIFUL quilt was a Christmas gift for a special sister!!  Karen did a fantastic job piecing it and makes my job super, super easy!!!

 
Sue in NH
 
This first quilt I was told came from deep in the UFO pile.  Sue, another excellent piecer did a great job and made my job easy!!  She decided on an all over meander, which was the perfect choice.

 
Here's Sue's 1600 quilt using a Christmas jelly roll.  Another great job!!!

 
Marcy in IN/NH
 
Yep, the kid finishes another one!! Honestly!!!  She's finised more quilts than I have!!  If you didn't know Marcy is my daughter and in her last year at Purdue.  I am super proud of her and glad she shares my love of quilting. I love her even if she's threatening to garage sale my UFO's when I croke!!

 
Annie in NH
 
LOVE the little tractors!!  The John Deer fabric was just calling out for this design!  This is another Christmas gift, Annie will soon be an Aunt!!  Lots of luck and love to the entire familly.
 

 
Lisa in NH
 
Another man quilt!  Lisa used hunting/animal print with a log cabin print for this super warm quilt that she was making for some lucky guy!  I'm sure it was a real hit on Christmas morning!!
 
 
Two down, two to go...
more quilts to come....

Quilts....

My goal was to get all of the quilt that I have not posted on my blogs done by the end of the year.  I MIGHT just make it!!  It's 10:13 and I have nothing better to do than try to meet the deadline!!  I'm breaking it down into about 4 different blog post, so  you all just get ready for a show. 
 
Now some of these (most of them) were completed during November and December when I was having issues with space and blogger.  But this is it!!  I have no more pictures of quilts lurking in the memory banks of my two computers.  I have them all organized and identified!!  If I quilt for you and you would like copies of my pics just let me know.  So now, on with the show.......
 
Betty Ann in NH
 
Made this cute little little quilt at a class that she took with one of the ladies from our guild.  Betty Ann swears that it's a super easy pattern/design to put together.  I'm not sure I'm buying it.....
 
 
 
Eilene in NH
 
This wonderful man quilt was made for one of her sons for Christmas.  Eilene used Homespuns and this quilt can just melt around you.  It was super soft and cozy!!  What a lucky guy!
 
 
Don't you just love this Christmas quilt???  Eilene's plans were to decorate with this quilt as a wallhanging.

 
Frances in NY
 
The next four little quilts were made for some very special little people in Frances' life.  These were headed out to her grandchildren as Christmas gifts.  Each one different and so special.
 



 
Pat in VA
 
I think I finished this one in November.  This was a quilt that Pat sent to me to help finish.  It's final destination was a shelter that Gene Black is connected with.  Each year Gene collects quilts and delivers them to some very special children in need of a little cheer.
 
 
Judy S in NC
 
Here's another great little quilt that was under the tree!  Judy finished this one off for one of her grandsons and I know it will be greatly loved.
 
 
Terry in OH
 
Who hasn't seen this great quilt???  Terry is on a roll this year crankin' those quilts out like crazy!  This was her wonky log cabin and it was HUGE!!  The scrappy look is fantastic and Terry did a great job on it as usual!
 
 
Joyce in NC
 
Here's a few more Christmas quilts.  Tshirt quilts are a perfect gift for the guy/gal who has everything and that includes a stack of fun tee's!   Joyce did a great job on these two quilts.
 
 
Scrappy snowballs....what is not to love???

 
 
That's the end of the first post..
more to come....

It was that easy!

Here's what my new blog books look like....
 

  
 
I've already gone in and deleted a ton of old post and should have plenty of space for 2013!  I'm looking forward to changing a few things.  I've added the tabs on the top of my blogs now I need to put them to good use.  I hope to have light information on this blog and revamp my other blog with more information about how to prepare your quilt for a machine quilter.  I will be posting examples of the right and the not-so-right way of doing things that will make my job easier and your quilts look better.
 
Goal for the end of the year....get all the quilts posted that I have quilted!!  My machine has been going non-stop and I'm busy stitching on those wonderful Christmas gifts. Finished the last one on Sunday and delivering it today to Rosie. I'm working with a ton of truly giving women who have stepped back and let those who need their quilts for under the tree to be done first. 
 
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!  Blog2print!!!!
