Another view.

Kaffe Fasset Quilt

This one is finished but this is pictures as it was in-progress.  My niece has made it very clear that she wants it.  I love it when someone clearly lets me know that they would appreciate one of my quilts--let's me know that they will want it enough to take care of it, use it, and keep it.

Here's a picture of what it looked like in the beginning but I didn't like it and so I changed it to what you see above.

Retreat Quilt

I worked on this Wild and Wonderful quilt at the last retreat in April.  I do want to finish it sometime soon.  I think I'll have to keep this one.  Almost every block has a fabric from men's shirts I bought at Goodwill and cut up.  Funky.

Mesquite Quilt Guild meeting

This is the row quilt I'm working on month-by-month.  See, January is the snowflakes, February is the hearts, and so on...

Mesquite Quilt Show

The Mesquite Quilt Show is today and tomorrow and since I have a tournament tomorrow I have to go today.  But my air conditioning is out and they are coming at 3:00 to fix it, so I guess I won't get to stay as long as I'd like.

My niece, Rachel, is going with me. I hope she will have seen enough by the time I drag her away. 

I have two quilts in the show--I'll try to post pictures tomorrow.   I also entered several mini's, a couple of which were hand-quilted by my friend, Sharron.  Last year she and I won the Mini Best of Show, with my piecing/binding and her wonderful quilting.  I had to buy it back so it's on my wall.  I also bought several mini's from other people, so I suppose this year will be no exception.  For a good cause, right?  LOL  I'll post pictures of anything I take home.

Wool Caddy

This is my latest wool project.  A friend brought me the picture she had torn out of a magazine and gave it to me, saying "I want one of those."  We laughed and I'm sure she never thought I'd make it for her.  I'm giving it to her tonight at a quilt guild meeting.

This is a quilt that I made a couple years ago and just got quilted.  I bought the fabric in the border and came home, determined not to buy anymore fabric.  I wanted to use only fabric from my stash.  I got carried away and finished the quilt top in about a week.
