Finally Fri-Yay!

NaDell and Andy have been waiting for this Quilt. 

It was such fun to Surprise her at the Airport tonight.

She's been in Salt Lake City all week.

I had to wait until she got home.

We were on our way home when her flight was landing so I texted her.

Meet you at the Airport, lol!!

It's not every day I can surprise her.

I took her picture so she took ours...

It took over a year to get it Finished.

The most time consuming was getting the titles 

Machine Embroidered on the books.

They gave me lots of good Book titles to choose.

I had to ask for a few more as the Quilt grew bigger.

I started it the 21 of June, 2022 HERE

The Red Rose is from Jackie Robinson's Roses Stash.

Now, I need to make one for myself! hahaha!

WOW-WEDNESDAY - Wedding Quilt -ready for the Quilting

Lexi and Jared's Wedding Quilt 

It's got all the borders on!

I  love it Sew Much! 

The striped inner border fabric 

will also be the binding.

It all started with these blocks April 30.

I had to unsew part of the lighter blocks as needed for the assembly of the pattern.

My Quilt Buddy,  Lynn showed me this pattern and I ordered it from Amazon. 

A lot of 2 1/2" squares were used.

Just the extra outer borders were done with the strips.

These strips helped enlarge it to Queen size.

When I shared it at Quilt Guild,  another friend showed me a picture of her version on her Design Wall.

Monday -Designing a Special Quilt

It's time to get working on a 

Wedding Quilt.

I didn't think I had Grandchild old enough.

But, it is happening! 

I found my Blue Roses Stash
 by Jackie Robinson.
I think some on the left will work.
I have a creamy Background of Roses for the Background.

My Humble Quilts Doll Quilt Swap partner sent this cute Pinwheel quilt.

This Swap is a favorite!
Happy Monday!!

It's Ready for Binding- YAHOO!!!

I'm doing the HAPPY DANCE Tonight!  

 The Green and Purple gigantic quilt came off the Quilting table today.

 Just in time for me to quilt & finish a Challenge quilt (that will be shown later).

Here it is on the table.
