Raffle quilt done…

Done and ready to go to Sue (?) for binding and labeling…

 

On the machine today…

This is the West Michigan Quilters’ Guild raffle quilt for the AQS Grand Rapids show. Our guild is responsible for the volunteers that help run the show and part of the benefit  is we are allowed to have a raffle quilt at the entrance  to the show. As always the money raised will go to the Tie that Binds charity for Spectrum neo-natal. Tickets can only be purchased at the AQS Grand Rapids show.

The quilt top was designed by Nancy Roelfsema, pieced and appliqued by Louise and I am the lucky girl that gets to quilt it!

Quilt of the Week 6/16/13

Anna’s Burgoyne with freehand feather fill e2e…

Happy Thread Day to meeee!

After a lovely day spent with quilty friends (not getting much done!) I came home to not one, but TWO packages on my door step…a lovely quilt top from Kathy (which you will see later) and my Superior thread order…

 

See those tall cones in the back? Those are Bottom Line threads like the ones in the front, but the cones hold 33,000 yards of thread. Yes, 33 THOUSAND. I saw these extra large cones on Superior’s website a few years ago and just finally got around to ordering a few in neutral colors that I use a lot…any guesses how long it will take to work my way through one of these?!

Off the machine today…

Done! Phew…that was a big one!

On the machine today…

Nancy’s log cabin quilt…yes, it’s a big one! 98×120…yikes! Something tells me I am not going to get this done in the two days I planned for it…oops. It is beautifully pieced and flat, which is amazing for a quilt top this size…the backing is pieced and just as flat and square. Nancy is a pro!

Burgoyne finished and flowers from a client!

Anna’s pastel Burgoyne is done and off the machine…such a pretty quilt!

 

And peonies from Pat who picked up her quilt today…I love peonies! What a nice surprise!
