I finished up this guy and it is bound and DONE!! This was the Modern Orange/brown/green. I took a little time to try out different stitches in the squares and used this as sort of a 'practice' in FMQ! All in all I think it turned out great and with any luck I will give it away this weekend! Shhhh don't tell! It's a basement warming surprise!! The colours are not really me, but they will fit her basement PERFECTLY!!!
Next up I got ring around the rainbow all quilted

I think I decided I am going to bind in a deep purple to really 'frame' it up! I LOVE this quilt! It is bright and ME!! I hope to get it finished soon, I already know what I am going to do with it! EEK!

Friends it is true! I started a new project! I blame it on my cousin (she's my favorite but it is still her fault) Courtney! See when we went on a trip together this summer she brought along a quillow that our Aunt had made for her and it got me thinking... Crap here I go again! I am not really a fan of tie quilts so I decided to to a quilt as you go method (this was a first!) and I let Lillian choose the fabrics! She LOVES Yellow!! I personalized it with her name!! I do still have to bind this, but it is DONE other than binding!!

Now to top it off my brother came home (my father had triple bypass surgery) and when Sean saw the quillow he enlisted me to make one for each of his four girls!!! SO I have to add those to my list of things to do!!

| Is there anything more beautiful?? |
I also spend a minute or two sitting by my father who also suffered a small stroke following surgery and I love to bind and often take charity tie quilts from guild to work on. I bound and tied three of them and was very thankful for the hand work to pass time by!!
I just love the stack of finished quilts (even if they are not my own!)
