Great Quilt

Like everyone else blogging has really taken a back seat to everything else in my life.  This year I'm going to try to post quilts as soon as they are received by the wonderfully talented women who send them to me.   My post may be nothing more than here's the quilt...but it will be done and I can move on with other things in my life.  With that being said, here's the first quilt of the new year.
 
Karen in VT
 
Love the pastels of this quilt and the quilt is for a friend.  The bedroom is Shabby-Chique and the quilt will be a perfect addition!!  Don't we all wish we had friends like Karen???
 
 
 
I've posted more pictures of this quilt at my other NEW blog that I am still working on by the way!! OMG!!  Keeping up with blogger is almost a full time job!!  Anyway here's the link....
 
 
that's it for today, more to come very, very soon!
thanks for checking on me,
hugs,
joanne
 
love to hear what you've got to say...........

Final call for quilts from 2012

 Last post for the year...promise!!
 
Judi in VT
 
Perfect way to begin the last post, with some yoga frogs!  This is such a fun quilt, but working with Judi is fun and I love all of the quilts that she gives me they can
 brighten my day.
 
 
Here's another fun quilt from Judi, so colorful and perfect for a little kid.
 
 
Bonnie in NH
 
Here's another 1600 from Bonnie, and I'm lovin' the blues....
 
 
The colors on this Christmas quilt are so rich and warm, great quilt.

 
Here's a red, white and blue quilt that I worked on for Bonnie and it's stunning!

 
Lisa in NH
 
Lisa used all kinds of fun fabrics to make this split 9 patch quilt.  It' was a pleasure to work on with the huge variety of bright colors that she used.

 
Jane in NH
 
Here's a sweet little baby quilt that I helped Jane finish up.  The little hearts did the trick for this little quilt.
 
 
Karen in IN
 
Karen sent these two quilts, the first one is hers and the second was a neighbor friend's quilt.  Karen's pink and brown sampler was perfectly constructed and a real joy for me to work with.
 
 
Karen's neighbor's quilt was a lovely blue and yellows.  It was a HUGE quilt and my pleasure to help along in the process.

 
 
THAT'S it....I'm done!!!  I have now posted all of the pictures!!
 
If you would like to see more pictures of these wonderful quilts....
 
 
Just in time to begin working on next year's quilts!
 
Thank you all for making me look so good!
 
Wishing you all a very happy, healthy, wonderful
 
2013

More quilts.........

This is blog posting number three....think I've been busy???
 
 
Shannon in IN
 
This super huge wonderful t-shirt quilt comes from Indiana.  Shannon is a very close, dear friend whom I miss very much.  Shannon's sister Kelly (the quilter of the family) took all of Shannon's daughter Madi's tshirts and made this outstanding quilt for her.  Kelly did a superior job in piecing!  This quilt was 86" x 118"!!!  I did a semi-custom quilting job on it.  It was my pleasure to be a part of Madi's quilt!  thanks Shannon & Kelly!!
 
 
Kristina in NH
 
I LOVE this beautiful little baby quilt!!  Kristina did a fantastic job on the quilt and I stitched an Irish clover design for the quilting.  It is an amazing little quilt!
 
 
Doris in NH
 
Here's another man quilt that was opened on Christmas morning!  Doris made this quilt for her son and it is truly manly.  We decided that all it needed was a basic meandering stitch to finish it off. Good job Doris, I hope that son knows how lucky he is to receive this wonderful gift.
 
  
 
Rosie in VT
 
Rosie really kept my machine busy the last few weeks!  Rosie is a scrappy quilt kinda gal and the quilts are beautiful!!  Here's a few....
 
Love the blues, but I am the blue gal....

 
The white on this one is super!
 
 
Kitty quilt, I *think* it was a Christmas gift for her mom....of course I had to use the animal tracks stitching design.

 
How fun is this one?  Again with the white...

 
Barb in CT
 
These were lost in the deep, deep dark places in my computer.  I finished these in October?  The first quilt Barb made for her daughter, and the batiks are outstanding!
 
 
This Mariners Compass quit scared the ba-jeebies out of me!!  It is so beautiful and I was really nervous to work with it, but it turned out fantastic!
 
 
This one is a little twister wall hanging.  The bright colors are so much fun!
 
 
Bonnie in NH
 
Here's a 1600 quilt that Bonnie put together, they are so quick and easy!  The batik line is perfect for this project.
 
 
ONE more....hang in there...
