All are very nice. You've been busy

Can't figure out how to edit the first post, but that first table topper is Chocolate Lollipop, not Riviera...

Very nice! I love the Chevrons top and the one you are quilting...so pretty!

Wow! You have been very busy! Great quilts!

Your quilts are very nice and the quilting on the last one is wonderful.

Wonderful work on quilts and table toppers. I love your color choices, beautiful quilting and embroidery.

Wow there are some very bright quilts there How wonderful Congratulations You must have a great sense of accomplishment

wow, i love the quilt pattern on this one. all of your others are great, too :thumbup:

All of them are very pretty but I really like the last one.

They all are gorgeous, you've been a busy gal!

Thanks, everyone :)

Circle gets the Square and Cherish Nature are my favorites although they are all beautiful! Oh, and I like your Rod Sterling voice :thumbup:

You've been a very busy gal. Love your quilting, looks perfect!

Lovely work

What wonderful quilts! They are all terrific.

all very nice and love the feather quilting in the squares

Love all your projects. You have wonderful fabric choices. I can't wait to see them all done. :)

Do you like your juki? I bought one to quilt on and life has been way too busy to use it right now. the quilts are great

I LOVE it... it's the Ti2000. I have a cheapo Singer from Sam's, and it's like night and day. It's so easy to piece accurately, and fast, and I can actually do real quilting on it. The knee lift has changed my life...

Wow, I feel overwhelmed having 2 projects going at once plus 1 not even started yet! How do you decide which one to work on and how long does it take you to get one finished? I hope you don't mind my questions.

Well, most of these tops I finished and put aside because my old machine was such a pain to quilt on. Now that I have my new Juki, I can get to work finishing these. But these are just the completed tops- I have about 10 other projects in bins in various stages of piecing! It's just the way I work- I like shifting my focus often, sometimes on a daily basis. That's the way I've always been, I'm a multitasker, I have a million different hobbies ranging from sculpting, drawing and painting, to graphic design, pretty much all of the fiber arts, gaming, cooking, writing, etc. Quilting is taking most of my free time these days. I think having so much going on at once feeds my creativity- since I'm juggling so many things in my head, my brain has to be flexible and often comes up with news ways of combining ideas.

Although.... maybe I just have undiagnosed ADD... :P

loving your colours

All the work is just beautiful, isn't it? You've been one busy lady & have some FABULOUS things to show for it! Thanks for sharing with us -- keep'em coming!

Love all your quilts. I noticed how nice your quilting is and you are doing it on a juki and you have marked your pattern. Do you find it easier to follow a line and what do you use to mark? Are you just drawing or stencils? I have not been able to master FMQ yet and am struggling

beautiful. you do great work. keep it up and thank you for showing us.

Wow what beautiful quilts.You are very talented.Thanks for sharing.Sandy

Awesome work!!!!!!

I love your color choices and patterns. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who marks quilt blocks. Keep posting your work, I'll look forward to it.

Thanks everyone!

To the questions about my marking- I'm using a red frixion pen (I've never had issues with them). This is only my second time doing FMQ, and since I wanted to do a more controlled pattern I decided to mark the blocks. I Free handed the drawings, but I''m mostly using them just as a spacing guide and letting my FMQ be a little more "organic". I really like FMQ and I think I'm catching on pretty quickly. It's kind of like drawing.

Wow, those are all so very pretty. Nice work!

Love the colors of this one and the birdhouse border.

All of them are sew pretty! You do great work and it looks like you've been busy!

very bright and pretty :)

...and we approve! Wonderful quilts. Love all the pretty fabrics you've chosen. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful!!!! Thanks so much for sharing.
