Five Shadows

In the personal quilting world, I’ve totally fallen behind in “Getting it Done” a challenge of sorts run by Judy Laquidara of Patchwork Times. The idea is to list at the beginning of each month what you plan on getting done quilt-wise for the month, and then at the end of the month post how well you did with your list.

My list for September is:

1. Baby quilt for niece. Top is done, needs quilting & binding.

2. Baby quilt for nephew. Finish top.

3. Work on wedding quilt for my son and DIL. Fabrics & pattern selected, make some headway on piecing.

4. Finish 6 charity quilts. Tops done, need to pillow-turn & top stitch them.

In the work world of quilting I have the following to complete for Fabrics & Friends Quilt Shop:

1. Ripple Effect pattern by Cut Loose Press

2. Halloween strip quilt.

3. Thangles demo for quarter-square-triangles.

4. Blocks for Quick Curve Ruler demo.

Looks like a pretty good list!

Here is what I demoed today at the quilt shop:

Diamonds Are Forever Table Runner.

[Edited Friday, August 23, 2013 - this demo is being postponed until sometime in September. Sorry!]

Saturday Demo, August 24, 2013 at Fabrics and Friends Quilt Shoppe, Roanoke, IN. 10 – 3. This is a fun little table runner, easy to put together and quick piecing!

New to Fabrics and Friends Quilt Shoppe in Roanoke, IN is a beautiful Bernina 750 Quilter’s Edition that I get to play with!

Here is a stitch-out of some of the available designs that I may be using in a new Stitcher’s Garden Block of the Month the shop is offering.
