Design Wall Monday

I know, I've been totally MIA here all weekend. I have a really good excuse. 

Chris and I got home from the river Friday evening and I decided to get started on quilting my 3 veteran's quilts. I really wanted to get them done this weekend so that I could quilt 2 for Estelle. I made good progress Friday night so I called her Saturday and offered her a deal. I would quilt her quilts if she would bind mine....I even had the binding already made. She agreed and I became a woman on a mission! By the time she arrived Sunday afternoon I had finished all 3 of my quilts and was ready to lead hers. She left with my 3 quilts and I got started quilting hers and I finished both of them by 7 pm.

Here are her quilts. Of course they are all quilted with pantographs.

This one is made from leftover blocks from a veteran's quilt that someone else made. Estelle added the dark blue from her stash and some of the batik scraps. I quilted this one with my favorite pantograph, Square Spiral.

All of these quilts go to the local veteran's hospital and are given out for Christmas. These are a little different from QOV quilts because they are smaller. The average size is 48 x 60.

This one, bad photo and all, is a kit that I made up for Estelle with my Go! 6" tumbler. I am slowly getting rid of my print stash for charity quilts. This one takes 110 tumblers and they are arranged 11 tumblers in a row for 10 rows. She put this together in a day.

After the marathon of quilting I decided to cut another quilt. Another guild friend, Nancy, asked for a kit and she will work on this at the next Sewing Saturday. These are all some of the old Kyle's Marketplace prints and I think it will make a fun quilt. I was happy to reduce the produce stash a bit.

Willie needs a good cleaning right now but once I get that done I will load this Stack n Whack that my Mom made.

First I have to pay bills and do some laundry and other chores so go on over to Patchwork Times and see what everyone else is doing.

Most people, after Thanksgiving, have the long winter's nap. You on the other hand turn into the enerquilting bunny! :O)
