Finally did something

I finally made a start at quilting again.  I quilted one for a customer, but I'm not sure I can post a photo of it, sooooo.

Marge Gordon of Delaware Quilts sent me these little quilts for the project at Wilford Hall Medical Center.  This is the place where they allow Moms that lose their babies to choose from items.  I put quilts in there for their use.  I've put 30 in so far and they are all given out.  How sad is that?  I finished these 3 today. . 

 One has been delivered and I'll pass the other two off next time I see my contact.  I actually have one more quilted and need to finish that binding.

This is the last project I finished for Jo's Club.  It still needs to be quilted, and I'm not sure how I am going to do that.  These are 1" unfinished logs.  Yikes!

This is QOV #98 that I finished this week.   

I have 1 more customer table runner to do and 4 more quilts to quilt.  I've already got the backing done, so it is just the loading of the quilts and quilting them. 

It feels good to be in the groove again.

Slowly getting back

I have been working on getting back into the swing of things, but it is a slow go.  Can't get the camera to download one UFO that I finished.  Hoping DS can help me with that soon.
Other than that, I have been so extremely tired that I've not accomplished much at one time.
Just found out that I have a virus that take 6-8 weeks to go away.  Hopefully it is going to go sometime soon!

Taking it easy

I have to admit, I'm taking a breather.  I did do a larger sized speed strip quilt, but decided to cut it down and border it.  so, I'm getting 4 little quilts out of the one.  All the prints were novelty prints, so it only makes sense for them to be baby quilts.

I have a fun quilt to quilt for a neighbor.  Hopefully will get it loaded tonight and quilted tomorrow.

DH goes to the airport today and then it will be lonely and we will need something to do.

FINISHED

6. Pink and green quilt. (KB) UFO 5/28/11

2. Red quilt for teacher (JJ)

This is in the washer and ready to dry.  I'll post when all is done.

Final update for today.

Sometimes I wish my brain would not think about additional things that need to be done.  :(
So, I decided there were 2, actually 4 more folks I wanted to do something for.  So, 2 are made and quilted.  They are small, so the binding won't take long and I am going to use a standard label that is already stitched out.  One will be some quilting items because I just found out that she was going to focus on learning more about quilting.  The last one, I'm not sure what I'm going to do for her.  Maybe just a gift card?

Almost there

Piecing still needs to be done ALL DONE, now to get the rest of them quilted.

I'm quilting away.  We went on a drive today and I almost got the baby quilt bound.  I have about 3 inches and the 2 sides of the label not on the edge.  I'm making progress.  Came home and quilted the Momma quilt.  That should have binding on it ready to stitch down in about an hour.  One more gift quilt that has to be done.  The QOVs and Angel Cover Ministry quilts probably won't get done this month, but will early next.
