Customer Quilt & Apple Pie

                                     
                                    Finished hot off the frame ......   now onto the next one

The back looks a little interesting .......   pebble & straight lines




This is an apple pie that I baked up with apples that were taken off a apple tree in the yard of a house that we looked at on Monday when we were house hunting.     Wonderful apple trees  ...... the owner left a ladder next to the tree so we could pick a bag full.     Of course I took him up on his offer ..... 
    


This is one of the houses that we looked at,   very nice,  sets on 2 acres,   room for my quilt machines.
The boys  (dogs)  loved it!

Back to Normal

Shows over back to normal,   we were so busy at the quilt expo that I couldn't leave the booth to take pictures of quilts.    It was a very busy show this year,  it was better the Milwaukee for attendance.


Couldn't sleep last night so I got up and wash jars for the tomatoes this morning.   I planted three plants and this was my first picking.     These will taste really good this winter.......


now back to some free quilting time  and  football

Customer Quilt


Quilting this for Kathy at the Gammill dealership,  she is behind in getting these quilts out,  so I decided to take on a few that were quick and easy.     This is the first one, just simple straight lines,   pebbles and wavy lines in the border,   that's it........  SIMPLE      In fact I change her idea of puzzle meandering  cause I can not do it........   mine looks terrible.     That is one background fill I will not do........lol 


My kids left yesterday for Arizona to get their house,    they girls are staying here until  everthing is in order then will help move their things and get them setteled.    I'm  not going to be SAD.......boohooo

Christmas Tree Finished






This will go back to France  this week.









This is Suzan's  Christmas quilt that she mailed to me to quilt for her.    I used Hobbs 80/20 black batting doubled to give it a little more loft.   Metro, So Fine thread  use on the top and in the bobbin.   Metallic on the star.    This was a fun quilt ........  I could do what ever my heart desired.   I love it when I can have my way....lol


     

I use adding machine tape to divide up my borders ,  so much quicker then using the measuring tape  "No Brainer"






Back of course!!
