I spent all last week quilting my 2017 Show Quilt – I have decided to name it “Falling Leaves”.  The quilting is complete and the binding is ready for hand sewing.  Here are a few pictures:

…on the Longarm… work in progress

I have been working diligently on my 2017 Show Quilt – I now have the top completed.  I will start quilting it next week – here is a picture partially finished (I now have all the borders on)

2017 Show Quilt

I have been able to use fabric from my stash for all but the blue sky for this quilt as I had been collecting autumn fabrics.  There are roughly 65 different fabrics in this quilt.

Well, last year’s resolution to post more in my quilt blog tapered off as we hit mid year….  will work harder at posting in 2017.

Since my last post of the Camp Abenaki Quilt retreat I had a retreat at Jay Peak where I worked on more drunkard’s path type blocks as part of the Michael Miller challenge – this was the finished product called Sunrise / Moonrise – very different than my normal quilting style but I have been trying different things out..

After finishing the Holiday Rush of customer quilts I have been working on decreasing my UQOs (Un Quilted Objects…)  I have quilted 8 of my older tops and the latest Yankee Pride Mystery – now to get the bindings on… will post pictures once they are completed with bindings.

I have also started working on my show quilt for 2017 – a bit behind schedule and will be working hard to get it completed before the end of January – here’s a sneak peak:

Very much a work in progress at this point….
