Design Wall Monday - Advice needed

Here is a start to a baby quilt. I cut panels and framed them. Now to decide what blocks to put in the spaces and a layout. Any suggestions?

Here are some hockey jerseys that a friend asked me to make into a quilt. Anyone ever do this and do you have any pointers for me?

I was a wonderful weekend at Canterbury village. It was hot! There were personal best throws made. There is a quilt shop there and I bought a bit of fabric, of course!

The pattern dilemma is solved for my kit. The quilt shop had access to the right pattern so that is what I am making. Right now, I found out one of the athletes that my husband trains with is having a baby in the fall, so that is my next priority.

Design Wall Monday

Oxygen is finished! I really like the modern feel and I plan to quilt it in a "random" stitch pattern.

I received this kit for Christmas. I discovered last night, if you look closely, that the pattern picture is not the quilt pattern in the black and white on the "putting it all together" page. Hmmm, looks very interesting and I will have to print the color pic from the net for a guide. This is next and I will start it today.

Signs of summer. This plant stayed alive over the winter and is blooming nicely. Love its color. I think that the universe is back on balance today. We had a sunny weekend after 5 days of thunderstorms and gloomy skies, it was a welcome event!

Here are two quilts I have finished for customers in the past couple of weeks. I love how they turned out. The green quilt is queen sized and just divine. The Pink quilt is a baby quilt, the brown squares are Minkee in a few places and it quilted up very nicely. More details on the long arm blog

Here is another picture from the air show. Look closely you can see the Wing Walker balancing precariously. Hmm, why would you do that? I am sure that is why we have faith, a spiritual life, because that is how life can feel hanging out there in the open air.

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Psalm 91:2

Here is the quilt I am making using the Oxygen line of fabrics. I am using the free pattern called Lemon Squares in the free pattern section here, at Fresh Lemons Quilts.

It is another border less quilt!

This week has been filled with gardening, a local air show, sending DS off to camp, watching travel shows with dreaming of where our first international trip will be (Scotland and Ireland!) , long arming two customer quilts and exercising.
