Quilting for Brenda & Julie

Hello Quilty Friends!

Here we both are looking down the barrel of another month nearly over.

I came home from my annual birthday week away to quilt tops coming in thick & fast!

Of course if you read Julie's latest blog post you would have seen her quilt top came home with me too.

Brenda contacted me a while back about custom quilting her first Sue Spargo quilt:

 Fresh Cut & Truffle Duffel ( also a Sue Spargo design) she made. You are about to see why I was super impressed with Brenda's two quilts, they are Sue Spargo designs BUT Brenda has added her style & personality to them both, creating unique quilts!

 Let's take a look at Brenda & Julie's quilts:

Quilting for Janis

Hello Quilty Friends!

Just like that another month has gone. The weather has f-i-n-a-l-l-y turned cooler. 

As a winter loving girl I'm happy! 

There's something about lighting the fire, making a pot of soup &

 snuggling under a quilt that makes me very happy.

I wonder if after so many years in the making of the following quilt, Janis will be snuggling under it?

I told her not to wait years to get that binding on so she can safely enjoy the fruits of her labour!
