A Work in Progress (WIP)

I've been trying to get a quilt bound that I've finished earlier this year. I keep forgetting to bind it! It is for a friend who fell in love with it -- Carole in GA -- she really loved the fabric and colors so instead of putting it up for sale, I decided to gift to her. She is a dear, as she has been very patient! (Although it will get cooler down there in Georgia eventually! LOL!)

Here are some photos from it. The fabric is really very pretty and both have a shiny gold in it. I love this quilt myself-- maybe that's why it is hard to part with! :) I thought of Carole as I pieced it , and also while I bind it. A few prayers always go up for her as I sew.

Remember to click on the photos once or twice if you want to see them enlarged...

Before I had sewn it together...

My first two rows...

Before it was quilted... Here is Tulip Garden!

I'll post a photo of it after it is bound and washed, and you can then see the quilting (I think it was quilted using "Crazy Puzzle" as the pattern). Hopefully it won't be long from now! Watch this space *grin*

Quilts From My Past

I'll be posting some photos of Quilts I've done in the past.  I want to share photos from the last four years that I've made, and my husband has quilted. He has a webpage, if you're interested in seeing it: Anchorage Quilting Services  It is going to be undergoing some changes in the next week or two, but you can see some of what he does. Some of the links aren't working, so we have to get on that.

So, on with the photos! As always, you can enlarge them by clicking on them once or twice:

This is a Virginia Tech quilt that I made for my daughter. She is CRAZY for VT! She lives in a group home now, and her entire room is done in Virginia Tech colors and items. This was her Christmas gift last year. It is shown on a queen sized bed, but her bed is a twin.

This shows the fabric a little closer. I nearly went blind working on it! :) This was taken before it was quilted.

Here it is after David quilted it, and I bound it by hand. He used the pattern "Spring Thing"

Here's the back of the quilt, after it was washed. "Spring Thing" looks good on the back! We always use muslin on the backs of our personal quilts.
