been busy...

hello all....

ya i know .. it's been a long time since i posted on this.... i have been busy tho.. my wonderful hubby took me on a fantastic vacation to Vegas in August.. we had a blast and plan on going back again next year.. unfortunately i got sick.. when we got back.. and it just drained me for a few weeks.. just had no energy at all... but.. the last week or so... i've been working hard to get things caught up again.. and i have finished 2 quilts... which will now be sent to the quilter...

first is a fall quilt that i put together using blocks from a F8 block swap from 2007... i used the BQ2 quilt pattern for it... and i love how it came out.. you don't often see that pattern using sampler blocks.. but i think it came out just fine... i plan on using that layout quite a bit more..

then i finally finished my surf, sand and snowflakes quilt.. this was a challenge that Penny quilts put on the board last year... i LOVED the fabrics.. but only did about 4 blocks at the time... then my son decided he wanted a blue and brown quilt for his Christmas present this year... so i thought this quilt would be perfect for him and finished putting the quilt together... to use up some of the fabrics i thought the braided border would be perfect.. (i still have lots left tho... lol)... i like how it came out.. i think it looks great for a guy.. not tooo florally or "pretty".. i think he'll like it...

the only quilt i have left to make for Christmas this year is for my daughter... and i pretty much know what i want to do for that one.. and have the fabrics for it... so it shouldn't take to long to do.. i'm planning on having that one done and sent to the quilter by next month...

well back to work for me... i'll try not to let to much time lapse before i post again..

shey..
