Sorry that I have been MIA for a while. Life has just been so busy. I got a little overwhelmed with all of the canning, quilting and just life in general. I'll slowly catch you up on it all.
I'll start with a couple of the quilts that I have quilted over the past couple of months.
This beautiful Dresden... A family friend and neighbor brought this quilt top by to see if I could quilt it for her before October 7th. Her grandson is getting married and she wants to give it as a wedding gift.
Doug, her grandson, is something like 24 and had been diagnosed with cancer. After a long hard road he is now cancer free. Praise God!
Joyce's mother hand pieced the top many years ago and she has passed on. The quilt was a full size and Joyce asked if I could make it a queen! LOL! So I added the narrow inner border and the wider outer border. It was hard to match the whites because the original one was old. I think the green did a pretty good job of splitting it up so you couldn't really tell it was a tiny bit off. I also did the binding in green. She was very pleased with it when I got it finished.
This quilt is a king size. It belongs to a customer in NC. She also did a wonderful job on the piecing. I quilted another one for her and it was just as beautiful but sadly I was in a hurry and forgot to get a pic of it. :(
Log cabin quilts are one of my favorites.
A pic of the back of it.
I have several more customer quilts to show you in the next few posts and also a quilt top that I am piecing for MYSELF!!! LOL! That is something that I don't seem to have time to do anymore.
I'll post again tomorrow!!!!

nice of you to work with the friend to enlarge the quilt and quilt it. I think I would give up quilting for others and make my own! That is the one reason that I have never quilted for others - I hear too many say they have no time left to make their own quilts once they start down that road.
What a sweet gesture to enlarge the quilt for them. Your quilting is beautiful!
What a nice thought to turn that hand pieced too into a wedding gift. It turned out beautifully,
You did a beautiful job enlarging the quilt. I never would have guessed that it wasn't the original design.
