Sunny Sampler

Sunny is finally getting off the frame later. Work this afternoon, so I don't know if it'll be today yet, but tomorrow for sure.

My pics aren't wanting to load this morning...maybe because it's 14 degrees outside and everything is frozen.

Meanwhile, here is DW in action doing the cross hatching on the tops of the pillows I made for everybody at work.

 Okay, photos have decided to thaw out.

Sunny Sampler

This was a fun piece to quilt. Lots going on and a few of the blocks were just pieces of a panel so there were no seams to have to deal with. Not sure yet who this is for or whether I'll just post on the sale site.

Finally, The Sunny Sampler

Today was spent in the studio. Unfortunately, it wasn't doing much quilting stuff. I did get the gift pillows stuffed because the inserts showed up after lunch.

But after wrapping presents all day in here, I decided, with a few productive hours left, I would finally get the Sunny Sampler loaded. It's been hanging on the loft rail for over two months and it's time to get it off of there.

100 Blocks Completed

Now to get those 100 blocks in a pleasing setting will follow. But a few things need to come off the design wall first.

After long arming the Rainbows and Checkers (that's what I've decided to name it) for a few hours yesterday, I started working on this little top which has been hanging out for way too long on the wall.

The supplies for this top can be found at The Hen House in Charlotte-they have a web site if you're interested. More white was needed to  complete it; thank you Pieces of Thyme quilt shop for carrying Kona White. Today will be spent getting the borders (which are many) to hopefully finish out the top.

And, more long arming. The Rainbow and Checkers top is a little under half way completed. Most of it is being ditched because the goal is to keep it snuggly. And, it's so busy a ridicules amount of time changing out threads would have been spent, not to mention much of the quilting would not be seen.
