Pointless Quilter

 I'm back in a sewing room.  It's not quite done yet, but it's usable to sew.  The other stuff that needs to get done takes time (my nephew is installing shelves in my closets and I still have to paint them).  I will post pictures once that all gets done and everything is put in its place. But I have three quilt finishes to show.  The first is a baby quilt I made for a co-worker (soon to be ex-coworker as my tenure with the company is almost done.)   Memphis Jo Rose- she will be born sometime in 2022.  Her bedroom theme is rustic rainbow.  Used polyester batting for the fluffy look but also used Minkee Cuddle on the back. This quilt is from the McCall's 2009 magazine and the pattern is called Celebrer!  It uses a lot of the heavier woven stripes from the French General Rouenneries collection which I will never use in a quilt again.  Too heavy - made the seams and machine quilting a little difficult.  I also used French General'...

 Early December, three girlfriends and I and my two puppies headed East to my new home in Texas.  It was an adventure for sure considering my dogs never took more than a ride to the vets office and once we got here I had them go with us everywhere--to restaurants and walking in touristy towns.  They did considerable well I'm happy to say.   Deo, the dogs and I in one car Rita and her friend Melissa drove the U-haul. Hurley liked to look out the window - and fell asleep. Once the movers got here we unloaded everything and then we would unpack some boxes in the morning and then we'd go explore the area in the afternoon. Here are some pictures of my house. Guest Room ( all ready for friends) Office/Guest Room My room This is where my dining room table will be.   Right now I am waiting for the flooring people to get back to me with a date they will install this laminate floor into the front bedroom which will be my sewing room.  Once that is done that...

 So the move is starting to take shape.  I have packers coming in early October who will pack, then the movers come after that and then they will store my stuff until I know when my house is ready.  So finishing things just isn't in the picture  I have so much to do to prepare for the packers since I'm not taking a lot of my stuff.  But you are here to look at what I have done since August. I had this fabric and pattern from a magazine for many, many years.  I don't remember when but I think it was in the early 2000 that I have been saving this.  It's in a box - ready to be pinned and quilted one day. Here's a little runner I finished for my quilt guilds annual boutique.  I am unable to make much this year - I usually spend the month of September making stuff but this year....The embroidery designs are from Urban Threads - their Gilded collection.  They are beautifully done.  I ordered all the rayons and metallics for them because I want...
