Life has been busy!

 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!!!!
