Another Sleigh Panel

This panel I cut the top section off  to make a pillow to match the quilt.    It is just opposite of the other sleigh panel that I quilted.    These are fun and quick to piece, add borders and quilt.    This panel came from Uniquely Yours also.    I went to the shop to  pick up fabric for a doll quilt and spotted the panels on the wall just before Christmas (two weeks before).    I made up a couple of these for Christmas gifts,  fast and easy.    The doll quilt did not get finished .........    Back in the closet until next fall with it.....lol    Did pull out a spring quilt to work on when I'm finished with the bird panel.     As you can see,  I have been busy the last couple of weeks beside showing this house.

This is a panel that I quilted for Uniquely Yours Quilt Shop,  Orangeville , Illinois  for their quilt shows in Texas next month.

the background fill was little loops to make the flowers and birds pop

My Christmas present from Anya........   love it!!

Metro thread that Anya sent me which I will use on another panel quilt.    Love the thread,  it has a shine to it and quilts up really nice.     It is an embroidery  thread........

This is the other panel that I'm quilting for Uniquely Yours.     The colors are beautiful in this panel......

Small bead board border to frame the panel

outline the bird with yellow and purple around the plums,  not sure how I will quilt the background yet

Sleigh Panel and New Puppy

Pieced and quilted this yesterday........    I panel that I cut apart framed, added a strip to the top and bottom then simple quilting.     Nice little practice piece to get back into the motion of quilting.

Monte has tears in his eyes,  he got a shot for ear infection.     He is such a sweet layed back little boy,  and he is a mama's boy too!

Bella is the new labradoodle who will be 4 months old January 1.    What a love bug teddy bear......   She is the most loving and funny pet we have ever had.

Buddy's another story........   A sweet little guy with ADD,  smart,  good watch dog,  and loves his big sister.   Bella drags him around like he is a stuffed pet.....lol

A Special Present That I Received

This came in the mail yesterday from Suzan........   What a surprise!!!

Look at those scissor  "Eiffel Tower"   Love them .....   I have just the right spot to display them.

Thank you Suzan .......

Little Cabin Finished

Quilters dream batting,  So Fine cream thread in the light areas and peach in the other........     Quilted straight lines in the borders, feathers, swirls, pebbles and what ever I thought of at the time of quilting this freehand.   A fun practice quilt again........    Still having problems making my feathers perfect,  the hand & wrist still giving me some problems.   This was a kit that I bought at one of the shows.   Of coarse  I had to have it because of the cabins.    I'm not to fond of the two floral strips together,  I think I would have chose something different.    It is a great pattern for a large print  that you  want to show off  and  not  cut up.     This quilt can be pieced in a couple of hours and makes a great quick gift for someone special.
