so, i've been trying to 'wrap up' my holiday sewing- i managed to get 5 donation quilts done- the first 3 are 'Downy quilts for kids' quilts- the next 2 are for the Women's resource center
then the quilts i'm giving as gifts---been finishing up UFO's too---feeling pretty...motivated! :)

Wow you have been busy. I think that would be a year of projects for me. There are some lucky people out there.

WOW!!! you really have been busy. I too have been finishing up "ufo's" that are have been hanging aroundish. Three of them have already headed to their new homes. one I am currently working on hand sewing the binding. have a small section left to finish and have two fabric cubes that I am working on one is done and the other needs more stuffing to be finished. Then there is my DD's quilt that needs about 16" of boarders and patterns to finish the top. I am happy for you. it is always exciting to finish a quilt and send it to its new home. kinda makes me wonder if that is just a little bit of how God feels when a baby is born.

All of your quilts are FANTASTIC!!! :o

All of your quilts are beautiful! The kids and adults that recieve them will be soooo delighted!

SueSew 12-05-2011 07:54 AM

Wow. Got any stash left to cuddle up in??? It's like a solo quilt show!
That's a lot of recent quilting!I'm averaging less than a quilt a month here in what will undoubtedly be referred to within my family as Year One of the Addiction.
I love the scrappy quilts and the b/w/r (should we call these Newspaper Quilts?) but the blue ring quilt is so lovely and delicate in the choice of colors/prints. And it looks like you quilted big flowers with layers of petals.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing your beautiful work.

You must be exhausted! Beautiful quilts and wonderful gifts. Now.....get some rest!

jad1044 12-05-2011 08:34 AM

These are fantastic - very lovely - and some child is going to be so thankful for talented hands like yours! Bless you!

wolph33 12-05-2011 08:40 AM

wow you have been very busy.they all are wonderful-you should be tired by now.

thepolyparrot 12-05-2011 09:47 AM

How wonderful! Mercy, you are prolific! I like all of them, but my favorite of the bunch is the second-to-last. It looks like a traditional quilt "with a twist," and I always like that type of pattern.

Very nice, all of them! You should be feeling quite accomplished! :thumbup:

Wow. I am impressed. I like them all!

ckcowl 12-05-2011 04:12 PM

thank you all for your compliments- the last quilt (blue & white) is a Tennessee Waltz from Elenor Burns-quilt in a day---and it took lots longer than a day!--but was kind of fun to make-
the next to the last was just using up some homespuns and scraps- i hand pieced the checkerboard squares during breaks at work- the homespun strips machine pieced pretty quickly- it is a very large queen-
i love the reference made to the black and white one---the newspaper clips---that is quite fitting- and i hadn't figured out a name for it yet- so may go in that direction-
the donation quilts have been delivered- now to finish the one on the quilt frame---and maybe get one or two of the others stacked under the machine quilted---i still have i think 5 or 6 tops waiting to be quilted---and 3 in the sewing room waiting to be finished- one of the ones waiting to be quilted is a ufo i started 10 years ago- i'm so happy i finally got it put together---another one is a 5 year old christmas quilt---finally put together----now to just get them quilted---if only i were in doing it---instead of here (socializing :) )my ufo's seem to grow almost equally to my stash! keeps me out of trouble ;)

daisydebby 12-06-2011 04:59 AM

WOW, WOW, WOW!!! How very beautifl and impressive. You quilts are absolutely wonderful. You are making many people feel extra loved. Truly, you inspire me. Thank you SO much for sharing.
