Beauty Shots

 

I finally got beauty shots of a few quilts and here they are. This is Needle in a Haystack, so named because I hid a purple triangle in the quilt.

This is the Blue Ribbon quilt.

This is the Carnelian quilt. It was an overcast day, so the colors are really true in these photos.

I've also been adding the binding to the Nonchalant quilt.

Blue Ribbon Quilt Finished

I've been sewing the binding on the Blue Ribbon quilt.

I have been putting quilts on a card table while I sew the binding. It keeps them straight and it's easier to have everything handy while I work.

I have to take it out for beauty shots, but this gives you an idea of what it looks like.

I always meant for this quilt to be used as a table quilt. I found that blue and white bowl at a local thrift shop.

I've put the Needle in a Haystack quilt on the couch along with the two new blue and white pillows, so two quilts relate to each other.

Traveling Quilts

 

My friend Pam took me out to dinner for my birthday and as we were catching up she told me about her church group's plans to raise money for schoolchildren in Armenia. I told her I'd donate a quilt to her cause. Eventually she selected the Big Red quilt, so that is now being quilted. The group decided to raffle the quilt to raise more funds, and I thought that was a good idea.

While going through the quilts I had available, Pam saw this one, Blue Ribbon, which I had not yet had quilted.

"Oh, I like that one a lot. Can I have that for myself?" I was flattered and agreed. Pam offered to pay it. I'll let her pay for the backing fabric and the quilting.

So both quilts are now off being quilted.
