Where does the time go?  I've been busy, that's for sure!
Here's a couple of quilts for a customer that I just did.

Just a little freemotion playing!

I liked that one so much that I made one for myself, only smaller.  It's going to be in the quilt show this year.

I named it "Black Tie Affair"

Well, I've been busy these last couple of weeks.  Here's a baby quilt for a customer.

Then, I had been over at Virginia & we were going through some stuff that had come with her longarm (she bought it at an estate sale) & ran across picture from a quilt show in 1997. One quilt really caught my eye. A Bow Tie. In studying it, discovered it was the 10-minute block! So I came home, went through my charms & made this...........

I decided to give this one to our newest Grandson, due in October.

Well, here's some more on the Carpenter Star.....Final will come tomorrow, as it's almost finished!

I know, beat me with a wet noodle, I've been neglecting my blog!  Here's a pic of the girls with Floyd. He'd just gotten home.

Aren't the the most precious little girls??

I've been busy working on a Carpenter Star quilt for our upcoming quilt show in October. It's 84" X 84".
Here's the border & sashing.

More to come!

Well, ya'll know we got the girls just a few weeks ago. They apparently weren't socialized at the breeders & have had a hard time being around people, but we're progressing alright. Housebreaking has been trying, but I think we've finally turned the corner on that one & it's almost done. Still having a little mishap once in awhile, but for the most part, they're there.

Here they are helping Mom in the office. Great help they are, huh?

I did finish the other 2 9-patch tops. I was having so much fun playing with those 2 pieces!

Here's the light one. A little ruler work, a little stencil work. Came out interesting.

I did a little crosshatching on this one. It doesn't show up very well on the dark fabric, but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be to do. I like it anyway.

I have Black Tie Affair on Queenie right now. Stay tuned to it's outcome!

Well, I've been a little sidetracked from quilting this past week. We lost our beloved Duke the end of January & have been dogless since then. We knew we'd get another dog, but weren't ready just then. We finally decided the time was right to get another one. We decided to get a Sheltie. I grew up with them & know their traits, etc. Floyd said yes to the breed. Being as we're no longer spring chickens, we grew up with Lassie on TV. All the kids of our era wanted a Lassie. So now we have her! Plus her sister, Lola! They were born January 10th, so they're 5 months old.  Here's a pic of the girls!

Lassie's in the front, Lola in the back.  Aren't they just the cutest??
