A Quilt Festival!!!!



I've joined a quilt festival and I almost missed it!!!! Use the quilt festival button on the side of my page to navigate to the site!! My last post is my favorite quilt and I've actually made 2 of them already. I love Bonnie's patterns and as a matter of fact, my next purchase will be her book. Of course, you can see why this quilt is my favorite and it has such a great country feel.

Old Tobacco Roads #1 finished!!!!

Well here it is, done and done and boy am I glad!!! It turned out beautifully and I will definitely be using this spiral pattern again. It gave the quilt so much motion and it didn't even have to be perfect, the wonkiness of the spirals added to the character of the quilt. Here are some photos of back, front and close-ups.



This one has already been delivered to my Mom in Jonesboro, Arkansas and she loved it and I hope everyone else likes the finished product.



Thank you Bonnie Hunter, bless your little pea-pickin' heart!!!!

If you haven't visited her website GO NOW. Use my button at the side of the screen for "Take me to Quiltville" because Quiltville.com is an awesome site.









Out of all the quilts I've done, this is my favorite. I have already made another one but I certainly have plans to make many more.

Smokey Mountain Stars Finished!!!!!!!!
























I finally got this quilt done. Hand pieced and hand quilted. That's another one done and off to it's new owner my brother, Joe, who lives in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. This one is definitely one of my favorites because it has a real rustic quality.

I tried to get some good up close shots of it. The back is a hunter green flannel equestrian pattern and it's soooooooo soft.















The up close shots are kinda dark but here it is folded and ready to go. Next!!!!!!!!???????

Arkansas Twister topper!!







This has been hanging over me for a while and it was just time to get it done. It is the Arkansas Twister topper that I have been meaning to finish for a while. It was so hard to get a good pic of it...it's so big. But here it is with a close up of some of the corners. This was a fun topper. And now...*sigh*...it goes back into the box to await quilting some day. Time is a precious commodity isn't it??? AAAAHHHHHHHHH dreaming.........
