The Brightest Quilt Yet

I had pieced a top several months ago from the Girly Girly line by Pat Bravo.  It is really bright.  I just finished up the quilting.  That fabric was wonderful to work with.  It was soft and draped well.  I used warm and natural batting.  The quilt came out very light weight.  Perfect for Texas weather.

The back is a little more restful on the eyes

I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year.  I still have three more quilts to get done.  I see light at the end of the tunnel though.

More Christmas Quilts

My husband finally emailed the pictures he took of more of my Christmas quilts.

I made a table topper/wall quilt for my sister using a Glace charm pack and some extra fabric.

Next is my Dad's Quilt.  My husband picked out the fabric.  It is Jo Morton/Andover Fabrics.

I also finished up my son's fiancee's quilt.  She likes blue.  I had some beautiful batik fabric I picked up at the Chishom Trail Quilt Show.

Pieced Back

The last one was for my oldest son.  There is a story behind this quilt.  He had a quilt that was polyester camo fabric that his great aunt made for him.  He had that quilt into his 20's until it fell apart.  I made him a quilt with fabrics that have a camo look for the front and flannel camo for the back.  It is really a cuddle quilt.  

Yes that is really flannel camo

Finally my husband took a bigger picture of the churn dash quilt I sent to our daughter and son-in-law.

As you can see I was really busy get things finished up between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I have four more tops done that need to be quilted for both family and friends.  All of the children and grandchildren now have their quilts though.  Yeah!!!!!

A few more December projects

I made a quick Christmas table runner for my gift swap at work.  I used a pattern I found on PinInterest.  It was originally made out of canvas.  I used fabric and batting instead.

I also finished up a churn dash quilt for my daughter and son-in-law.  That was the late Monday night sewing spree.

I did not get the whole quilt in the picture as I took this at 11:30 at night because I was mailing it early the next day.  

I have more quilts that my husband took pictures of and has not emailed them to me yet.  I will post as soon as I get him motivated.

Daugher and Grandson Quilts

These are two of the quilts I made this weekend.  One for my daughter and one for my grandson.  My daughter is not a bright color, modern fabric kind of girl so I made a neutral quilt for her.  The fabric for my grandson's quilt is zippety doo dah.

I did not get them photographed in the daylight so my husband made the best of it when he photographed them tonight.  I wanted to get them in the mail for their birthdays, the 17th and 18th respectively.  I have to be out of town all week on business so my husband has been tasked with mailing duty tomorrow.  

I have one more almost done.  I ran short of thread with 8" to go on the binding.  Oh well.
