Show & Tell...

I took 1 lap quilt, 2 snuggle quilts (the ones for Joyce's grandkids), 1 doll, 1 doll quilt, 1 tote bag and my placemats from Sylvie in France to work today.  I had told everyone what all I got done on my time off and they all wanted to see.  So.  I obliged.  Wanted some praise and adoration positive feedback...and got it!  Everyone was so nice.  You should know that there are a ton of people who walk through the medical records department, and I hang my quilts where they can be seen the moment anyone walks through the door.  It was nice to hear all the comments.  I may even get a few commissions out of today.  That would be sweet!

Here is Janer's quilt...all done...all soft and crinkly.


Then, on my way home, I stopped at the quilt shop to show off my stuff to the owner...who is the one who convinced me (soft sell) to do the BOM last year.  She was amazed at the quilts...and the quilting!  Proud of me, she was.  That made me feel very, very good...as she must see tons of quilts!

So.  It's Friday.  YAY!  The grandkids are coming tomorrow for an overnight.  In the meantime, I have things to do.

Have a great evening!

Waiting for Inspiration...

I'm not quite sure what to do for the placemat quilt swap.
I have the fabric (may add a piece or two).
And, I have a thought.

While I'm waiting for inspiration, I'm working on this...
 
and this...

Quilting...


I was not invited anywhere chose to stay home today and have some quiet time.  The landlords aren't done painting...everything is moved around in the kitchen, living room and dining room.  CHAOS!  I know they need to get the house ready to sell, but I need to get some things done, too.
  
I started quilting on this today... 

It's the Block of the Month quilt from last year...for Janer.  I think it's going to be awesome!  I should get the quilting done today.  And, the binding on.  I'll hand-sew it while watching DWTS & AI this week.

Hope you're having a great day!
