I Got Some New Postcards

I have been receiving some of the postcards from the latest MQR swap.  The theme this time is "Salt & Pepper"  I posted the ones I made here the other day.  I thought I'd share the others.

From Shirley



From Michelle



From Linda



From Suzanne



And from Lisa



It's always such fun to see what each person does with the theme.  Thank you all, they're fabulous!

Make mine sea salt & cayenne, please!

Finally finished my postcards for the latest MQR swap and got them out the door today!  The theme this time was "Salt & Pepper"



Later gators!

Spiro Thingy trial

My newest Circle Lord tool.  Love it!  I did a short video on my website.   And a here are a couple still photos showing the pattern I stitched.



Tons of possibilities, and easy to use.

More yummy fabrics

Yes, I got more from Vicki's shop.  And yes I know, I already have plenty......but not these pieces!  And now that I'm  finished  quilting for clients, I'll need lots to keep me busy and productive.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it!  So here you go. Please don't  drool  on my pretty fabric (;>)





I'd better go start using some of this!

Finally Done!

After years of quilting for clients, today I finished the last one!  I can't tell you how glad I am to be able to reclaim my life.  Now, it's my turn.  I'm so looking forward to being able to work on my own projects and hoping to get all the ones waiting in the wings done; as well as start many new pieces.  I am soooo doing the happy dance!

Don't misunderstand, I did enjoy working on all those client quilts.  I got to quilt things I will never make for myself.  I've had some wonderful clients who became friends too. And I thank them all for trusting me with their treasures.  So here's a peek at the last one.  And a peek is all you get because I haven't delivered it yet.

So from now on you'll just have to be content with my work.  Yippee!

A couple postcards

I haven't posted photos of the family cards in a while.  These are the last three I did. I was late getting August and September out. But October is already in the mail!

This was August, the theme was "Water"  The glass and water is made from Angelina film.



This was September, the theme was "Pets". I should have put two cats on it!



And this one is October's, the theme is "Harvest"  so I did a harvest moon. My moon is made from Lutradur and Angelina fibers.  There is a tutorial on doing this on my website.



Now I'm working on my MQR postcards.  They're late too.......

Still Pluggin' Away...

It's been busy, trying to do too many things in a short time span.  But that always seems to be the way.  Hard to believe it is October already!

So, what is keeping me so busy?  Well below are a few of the things going on right now.

Working on my last client quilt...



New tools arrived from Circle Lord...can't wait to finish the above quilt so I can try these out!



Remember these?



Well it's slowly turning into this



And this



And this.



And maybe you remember this?



Well it is becoming this.



So there you have it.  These things and several other projects are keeping me hopping this week.  Are you busy too?
