A Christmas Quilt

A great customer of mine made this adorable Christmas quilt, and wanted it quilted in time for her holidays.   I fell in love with the little snowmen...

Aren't they the cutest little snowman? And the Chains... I think they set them off so nicely!

Can you see the snowflakes?

Totally makes me ready for some snow, and sledding, and making snowmen!!

From the 1st Baptist Hurst Quilting Group

In Texas!!!

These first two were made by Leslie:

Gorgeous!!! I love the strings!

 This one is also by Leslie....

On these next three - I am just going by the labels - but it looks like they were the group effort.  And what an effort - I love these!!

 This one really caught my eye - I think it is a really clever use of a lot of fabrics!!

Thank you ALL so much!! these are gorgeous quilts - and I know will be cherished!!

A Thank You

I know that we don't do this for the Thanks - we do it for the opportunity to Thank our Vets... but all the same - when a Thank you comes, its sweet.....


"Thank you So much for the quilt! My husband recently came home from overseas and was sent to Ft Carson for Medical treatment. It was there he recieved the Quilt of Valor. We love it - especially our 3 year old. Thanks for your support to the troops. It means a lot to them and to their families.  ...Thanks again D, G and G  "

From the Northwest Suburban Quilt Guild

Warning: You all might want a cup of tea, or coffee, or hot chocolate... for this one... this group is one prolific group, and their work is to drool over!!!

All of their quilts have labels and they all say made by the Northwest Suburban Quilt Guild - no specific names, so I can't call out on anyone!!

Love it!!! Red and White are becoming my favorites!!

A Dissappearing 9 patch ( and the back underneath it) 

A cool Jelly Roll quilt

I love this one!! I think It is now on my bucket list!

Oh ya! A great flag quilt!!!

This one is gorgeous in its white - but the quilting - oh heavens! You have no idea how much fun it is to be able to check these babies out!!

Doesn't the use of the string blocks on point, kind of highlight this one?

I am pretty sure this is a bricks and steeping stones from Bonnie

Someone will need to tell me this pattern - I love the symmetry of it, but have never seen one before.

Thank you so very much - NSQG - you people are amazing!!
Happy Veterans Day

From Norece

Norece In Tennessee sent in this great Quilt of Valor - and it is already with a soldier! But I love the layout of it, so wanted to brag a little bit!!

Thank you SO much Norece!!

Quilts of Valor from Tamera

These two Quilts of Valor were made by Tamera over at http://tameraquilt.blogspot.com/  They were quilted by Ellen of Parker.   Ellen also does a lot of quilting for http://firehousequilts.org/  So I was tickled that she was willing to quilt some for us!

I am pretty sure that these are the Twister Quilts. I love how they spin!

Thanks Ladies!! These are being used and appreciated!
