Quilt of Valor is ready to be awarded

Quilts of Valor is one of my charities that I like to support as much as time allows me.
Kaye Allen sent me her quilt top with the backing to get quilted by me about a month ago.
Looking at the quilt and the empty white spaces, I found that I had no choice but to pull out all the stops and custom quilt this beautiful top. So with my APQS Millie longarm quilting machine on my 14ft quilting table, I went to design and work...

Kaye will be showing it in the upcoming County Fair in Roseville CA and I am really proud to be apart of this. Kaye and her group of quilters (Freedom Troopers) made this quilt to award to a member of our USA Troops.

Thank you to Kaye Allen and her quilting crew Freedom Troopers and THANK YOU to all our troops!!!
Never forget, never forgotten!!!

Let's look at the pictures I took before shipping this quilt back to Kaye so she can sew the binding on it and get it ready to be awarded -->

Update on the custom ordered quilts and new designs

This week I have been playing around with new quilt designs and I tested out a star pattern:

 Worked for a little bit to put borders on the vintage flower quilt top which was ordered by one of my customers as a gift for a family member:

Still have to miter the borders, iron and find a backing fabric for this adorable quilt :)

I love the pretty fabrics used in this throw size quilt.

HELLO 2013!!!

While reading several blogs today,

 I decided that I don't wanna look back at 2012, 

I wanna look what's ahead of me...

So today I took inventory of what I need to finish asap...

* Fair isle socks

* Poppies wall hanging

* Curtains for the kitchen & bathroom

* Work on writing pattern for Crochet Along (January 2013) mason jars

Not bad :)

Still looking for my quilting ruler and rotary cutter too...after our move a month ago it "disappeared" :(

So now it's time to say:
