Still Quilting

Mystery Quilts are challenging.  I have done several, discovered that I am not fond of the process.  I made two of these, (why? long story  :))) and quilted several.  The simple quilting and the shiney gold thread were good choices for this one. P

Quilting pattern I  call "Drops", ( it has a longer name) by K. Emerson

 These Sun Bonnet Sue blocks where made in the early 1950's or late 1940's by a gal who then had a family of three boys.  Blocks languished for some years but are now out of the closet.....

  As I quilted, I wondered about the gal who made these,  and I hope she likes the results, I know her daughter in law  :)), and she was happy.

A Landscape Quilts

I had the pleasure of quilting this little landscape quilt. It took longer to do than I thought. ( It's these little ones that are deceiving.) Lots of thread colour changes, and due to the fusible I put the threads to the back with the intention of dealing with them from the back.  Then I had a brain traf...called the client/friend and asked if she wanted to save money at the
'long armer'?  She said sure and now she's dealing with the thread ends.
Good stuff!! The one thing I wasn't able to convince her was to use a  different back on this piece.  She used the left over fabric bits from this kit and pieced a sweet back. This is what's going to hang up against a wall.  Hey!  I am just saying....I too have used pieced backs. Not small block piecing though.  That's the story.
