I wanted to blog some pretty stuff tonight. We came back home a day early to finish working/painting the house we are trying to sell. I had some time tonight to blog because my hand hurts too much to hand sew..think of this: I'm chicken pecking all the keys with my left hand. Seriously....anyhow here are the pretties...
I picked up 2 of my quilts from my local machine quilter. He only does edge to edge designs so I don't have him quilt any custom quilts. Still his patterns and precision are superb. This quilt is made from the book
"Jelly Roll Quilts" by Pam Lintott. I used a Bali Pop and batik background.

This quilt top was started in 2005 I think. I took a class from my friend
Karen on value and we used a book by Karen Combs called
Combing through your Scraps. It is really 9-patches and split 9-patches in light and dark values that make the basket block.

I picked dragonflies for the quilting because one of the fabrics had dragonflies in it. I hope you can see the quilting.

I finished the binding on this quilt on the road back from South Carolina. It's a pattern called 5 and Dime by
All Washed Up Quilts. My DD2 is just over 2 years old and has proclaimed her favorite color is purple..good thing as this quilt has quite a bit of purple in it. Notice her purple sheets and rug. She has purple shoes too and rarely wears any other pair. She's quite a character.

Very nice, pretties, Vickie! Thanks for sharing!
Oh I like that backing...so unique! Pretty quilts.
Great quilts and quilting! Your daughter's quilt is so cute, too!
LOVE your sparkling gemstones pattern done from The Jellyroll Book! I am starting that in the next few weeks in Swanky and can't wait to see it completed. Great job!
Wow! Thanks for sharing - the bali pop quilt is very striking.
Love all the quilts! But I really like the purple story. Kids are great!
Pretty! Very pretty, Vickie!
Wow Vickie -- I can't believe how many quilts you get done! And I love the fact that your quilter is a "he"!!!
Love your quilts! Very pretty colors. Did you go to NQA? I may make it tomorrow. I have a customer show quilt I am finishing up tonight. I hardly get to do mine any more, but it's still gratifying when I have memories with photographs.
