Block 3

Curved rail fence block

16.5 inches

still piecing the sashing sets!

I'm halfway there!

The back of a customer quilt-love the yellow and the wonky feathers.

and because we're nutz-we took a ride on Sunday!

Brrrrr.

So nice to be quilting again

forgot what a stress reliever it is for me.

Although, having a pile of quilts waiting to be quilted can be stressful...go figure.

One less to do now.  

I'm going to put the binding on it tonight. I will probably have to machine it both front and back as my left thumb is on the verge of splitting again and I know hand stitching the binding down will do it in for sure.

A while back Carol over at Brown Quilts emailed me with a project idea. She wanted to make a quilt top, send it to me to be quilted and then have me donate here in the Pittsburgh area.  

 I thought that was a great idea.  

Carol sent a beautiful top made with soft flannels.

I quilted an all-over wave-y swirl. 

Tomorrow I will be dropping it off at the Community Outreach chair for my quilt guild.  There is a new shelter opening this winter and they've asked the area guilds for quilts.  

This one will keep someone in need very warm indeed!

Thank you, Carol, for reaching out so generously!  

When I drop off our quilt, I'll be picking up some more Quilts for Kids tops that need quilting--yeah I  gripe that I'm so busy, but I'm healthy and have more than I need--shame on me for the gripes whether out loud or in my head.

I finally finished the 2nd block in the Curve it up QAL I'm doing.

The blocks are big and although I'm nervous about curves; I haven't had any trouble so far.  

It's back!

I had to fiddle with the tensions, which always makes me sweat.

The CW leftover topper is done and just needs binding.

Autumn Gatherings is loaded and I just need to find the time to quilt it.

I'm running out of year and have 3 of my own tops that I REALLY wanted done and off my to do list and out of my brain.
