I have been commissioned to make some Memory Quilts from a loved ones shirts - and you know what's funny? its taking me a LONG time....I decided to Buckle down this week and really concentrate on getting everything cut and into tops... so my own Quilting slowed down...
It's interesting to me how that happens. I always think I am really good at organizing my day, until at the end of it I haven't finished what I thought I would. Good things happened though - Nine Quilts were taken to our local hospice, a guild meeting was had, I taught some new quilters their next blocks in the sampler they are making, and we had a birthday 😎😍
I did get a chance to Quilt and Bind my January Green Lightening #3!!
This one might be my favorite because of all that Dark Purple Plaid. I think I am growing to love Purples even more with their range of hues.
and yes - I did have to stand on it - the wind was blowing and it was blowing from under the deck and lifting my quilt up. I did not appreciate the help the wind was trying to give me.
The back on this one is Two big pieced of Plaid that I found in my stash. I really liked the Purple one on top but didn't have enough , so added the Blue stripe as well. It is bound in Purple - even though Green was the color of January.
And my Baby!!! She Turned 9 months old. She is getting better at posing, but there is just So much to look at that it is hard to sit down!
She had lots of Birthday Treats, and a New Pink Harness. She is not sure about the pink, but!! I think its nice to have something to change up a little!
Back to the Memory Quilts for me. Back to keeping the world in order for my Bella girl.
It is now time for you to link up and show us what's up this week!! I know there was a Blog Hop, so I hope Somebody posts their finishes from that.
Hey!!! If you have had a program come to you guild - either in Person or on Zoom - leave me a comment or email me direct and tell me who it was. We need a few more programs for our Guild - and I am on the lookout for some new things.

That purple plaid in green lightening really works with those greens. Congrats on the finish. It's so hard to manage multiple priorities. Some weeks all you can do is focus on one thing and the rest just has to wait.
Bella’s ears are so cute! Love the colors in your quilt and the plaid!
I think this is my favorite! Love the purple plaid with the green. That backing is really pretty too. Bella is adorable!
Nice finish. I sure know how a day can take off with me--like I am the one in the harness being pulled by the wind!
Your Green Lightning finish is wonderful with that purple plaid! And Happy Birthday to Bella, too. She sure looks like a sweetie!
These Lightning quilts great! Such awesome ways to use those simple squares.
I really love how the green lightning quilt came together. The purple plaids are really lovely! Bella sure is a cutie. :) I hope that the memory quilts come together easily when you have the time to focus on them.
I love the baby's photo with the sun on her head! I also love the new harness... she's so alert, and those ears! she must be able to hear the fridge open from the back of the house!

9 months already, wow! I love her new pink harness: pink and black and white look so good together.
One of my quilt guilds recently had a Zoom lecture and a workshop from Krista Moser. I didn't take the workshop, but I really enjoyed her lecture/trunk show, which was the story of her path from beginner to designer. She was personable and well prepared. Her website is kristamoser.com. Dot

Deep purple and turquoise--a very surprising and beautiful color combo!!! I like it!
Ah! Plaid makes everything amazing!
The memory quilts you've been commissioned to make will be treasured!
And I have a Bella question - is she a Patterdale? She's beautiful!
Happy Birthday to Bella! She really lives up to her name. So pretty and alert. Beautiful quilting on that gorgeous purple plaid. And great job holding down the quilt for photos!
Green and purple is such a good pairing. Handsome finish
Your Baby has a very regal bearing. Bella is the queen!
Hi Alycia, it's amazing what we can put in one week and even more amazing that things get finished! Love your Green Lightning 3 - that purple plaid is lovely. Please give Bella a big hug for me!
