Quilts, traveling stash, critters and frames?..

hahaha!!  We all know that blogging can be a chore!!!  What to write, how much to
write and if you are on a "schedule" the deadline is always there.  Last week I got off
easy with the stash box, no problem...a few pictures a few words and it's all good! 
 BUT NOW!! I'm paying the price!  I've got a couple of weeks worth of pictures to
sort and post.  So on with the show!!

 

Here's a few (this kept me busy for a while....) from Marie in FL.  These are
comfort quilts for a local orphanage in her area.  They were a real pleasure to
work with, loved all of the bright colors and fun prints. 

Another quilt from Florida came my way via Katie.  It was her first time having

a quilt machine quilted.  Cute little quilt, here's what it looked like....

 

Ever seen a porcupine up close?? They are sooo cute!!  This little guy is sitting at

the edge of the house munching on wild raspberries.  And did you know

porcupines waddle??  So stinkin' cute!!!!

 

 

Traveling stash is headed to .....

don't you just LOVE the address????

 

If your name is Brandy, Jeannie or Kitty and Sammy your quilts are headed home.  I finished 2 for Brandy, one each for Jeannie and Kitty along with a rush for

Janet and a couple of quilts for Rosie.  Rosie is a new blogger,

check her out at  RMB Quilts and Needleworks.

 

Okay one more thing before I go....have ya heard about the U R Priceless Blog Hop? 

It's all about little coin purses.  I'm LOVIN' it!!!   Check out the fun little frames

at Kelly's I Have a Notion!!  Which one do you like best?  I'm thinkin' I might have

to have a few, and perhaps a giveaway with these little gems.

 

Okay, that's enough!!  I've got quilts to work on, like crazy!!!  Have a super week,

don't forget to let me know which of the cute little frames you are

lovin' from Kelly.

 

As always more pictures of the great quilts can be seen at my other blog,

love to hear what you've got to say..........................

New Hampshire Quilts

Catchy title don't you think?  All of the quilts today are from lovely ladies here in New Hampshire.  Here we go....

 

Rachel does a bang up job with her quilts and this beautiful quilt is just another.  I quilted a simple lace design and I think it pulled it all together. 

 

Next up we have June.  June is a hand quilter all the way, but decided the fabric on this print would be better suited if she didn't have to quilt it.  She brought it to me all ready for hand quilting .  Added a little extra fabric on all four sides, removed her basting as I went and she now has a wonderful wall hanging without the torture on her fingertips.

 

 We went with Calm Waters for the stitching design and I think it worked perfectly....

 

Sandra had me working on this huge man quilt!  It's all flannel and going to be perfect for the cold New Hampshire winters.  Meandering finishes it off wonderfully....

 

Jeannie had me stitching hearts on this adorable little baby quilt for her.  It was just perfect, love the soft colors....

 

 

 

My machine didn't run as much last week as it should have, too many other things going on.  I'm hoping to get a little caught up this week.  Found the stitching designs that I was asking about yesterday, so you will see more of that in the future. 

 

As usual, more pictures of these quilts are at the other blog here's the link....
