Custom Quilt - Queen's

Here is the custom quilt currently in process, ready to go on the frames. I'm just shaking my head. I can't even believe it myself. I am so excited to see the quilting motif that I have planned to really finish this off.

Ice Crystalz-Custom Order Quilt

Here is my variation of Ice Crystalz. The snowflake print fabric is actually shimmery, although that doesn't show up in the photo, and really looks pretty up close and personal.
Front of  Ice Crystalz quilt. It looks so wintery. After counting the stitches I realize now what took so long. I absolutely love it!

Even the back is looking pretty sweet.

First of 4 Ice Crystalz

Dragonflies

This summer there seems to be  a bumper crop of dragonflies flitting around. I just knew I had to figure this pattern out to make a quilt to showcase their beauty.

Finished!

Aqua-Terra Rail Fence


Wow! I am thrilled with the finished product!




Next in the line-up, warm coppery/rust terra with a splash of aqua set off with unbleached muslin for this rail fence pattern. I'm crossing my fingers to be able to really make this quilt special by hand-quilting some sort of double wedding ring motif. In my quest to quilt freehand without stencil,  this should be a challenge.

Christmas in July

  Funny thing happened yesterday. I had checked the mail around noon and nothing was there. I don't know why but around midnight for some odd reason I checked the mailbox and lo and behold I got the biggest shock. I brought this package in, totally confused, not expecting any outstanding deliveries, ripped it open and read the nicest card.
Luxurious homemade soap from Etsy is the best!
From my wonderful quilt customer♥

For a few small favours

Snickers is in love with the little bird from this arrangement. I think the little bug is absolutely adorable.
My neighbours brought this sweet arrangement over the other night. Such a wonderful surprise.
