I feel like one of Santa's elves

I have been b-u-s-y. I've decided it's quilting season around here! The first quilt is Wilma's Stack & Whack. Check out the rest of the pics on my webshots.

Next up is Karen's Night Before Christmas. Meg Hawkey from Crab Apple Hill has the best patterns that combine embroidery & piecing.

Linda also used one of Meg's patterns, Merry Little Christmas, to make this out of this world quilt. She's entering it in the Camano Island Quilter's quilt show. Be sure & stop by on April 10th or 11th & check it out!

Last but not least is Carrol's purse quilt from the latest Buggy Barn book. The cover of the book has dump trucks & a front end loader on it! You'd never suspect a cute purse quilt was hiding inside!

I better go shut my peepers, so I can get the machine fired up early tomorrow. Not that I'm counting, but only 50 days left until I see Little Mister again!

Woo-hoo! I'll be back soon.........................Sharon

More quilts

I've been practicing my "swirly-girly" thing again. This time Miss Paula's Pumpkin Stack was the one! And below that is Melba's latest quilt for a grandson, just in case you were falling asleep!

Don't forget to check out webshots. I should be done soon!............Sharon

Enough Already & Quilts,Quilts,Quilts

I wish we could get a break from this winter weather. Last night our deck looked like a couple bean bag chairs bit the dust! Our cat, DC, who never misses anything had to go out & check it out! UNCLE to Mother Nature. We want some warm weather!

I have been buzzy busy quilting again. Check out Norada's applique

that is to die for. I hope when I grow up my applique is this beautiful!

The first quilt below is called "Miniature Magic" made by Joyce. She brings me quilts from her "waiting to be quilted stash". The one below is also hers. I just love the 30's prints!

I'm going to do another post.

Stay tuned.....Sharon

Quilts, quilts & more quilts

It has been a very busy week here. I'm not sure what I'd do if it wasn't! This week's quilt is from Fabrics Plus in Anacortes for the upcoming Tri-County Shop Hop March 25-28. Read about it here. I tried to find the official site and ended up with a "bug" on my computer. Will spare you the details. Let's just say it wasn't fun and cost me $$$. Sorry,I got distracted! So for the Shop Hop , each participating shop designs a block & sends a pattern to all the other stores. Then each store chooses their own fabrics, setting & makes the quilt. This quilt is a Moda Christmas line that doesn't look Christmas unless you are really close.

I am for sure heading to webshots right now to upload some more pictures.

I'll be back soon.....................Sharon

Quilt of the Week

This is one of the Thimbleberry panels. Jonne made it for her sister. I have quilted a few of these & they are really fun. Love the colors in this one. Thinking I might need to get one to add to my "Chicken" quilt collection.

It's been busy here as usual. I keep saying I want off the roller coaster & on the merry-go-round, but the ride operator isn't listening!

Hoping to get a minute later tonight to do another post & update my webshots. Better get going for now, delivery day for 2 more quilts.

Enjoying the sunshine, hope you are too........................Sharon

Feast of Famine

I'm getting more quilts lately,here is another quilt I finished earlier this week. It is one of Roxanne Carter's new patterns, Heavenly Stars. I like the smaller stars in the first border. Roxanne is a more traditional quilter & is the guru quilter in our area for making piecing easier. This quilt will be one of her upcoming Girl's Night Out/Day Out patterns. If you haven't taken one of her classes, you are missing out on F-U-N! She'll also be at the QA Quilt Show in March with her patterns & doing demos. Stop by and say "Hi".

Check out my webshots, I posted new pics this morning.

Happy Thursday..............................Sharon

Quilt of the Week

This week's quilt is Aunt Mary's version of "Over the river and through the woods" by Crabapple Hill. Carrol loves color & is not your traditional quilter! No feathers for her! The warm browns & golds give this quilt a special touch. I did my "swirly-girly" thing behind the center embroidery & put swirls in the flying geese. I'll work on getting more pictures on webshots later.

Carrol will have fabric packets available at the shop &

at the QA quilt show next month. It's a great quilt show

& there are always lots of vendors! Mark your calendars for March 20,21&22..

Maybe I'll see you there!.....................Sharon
