Blue star quilt and new sign and 2012 update

I’ve caught up with customer’s quilts for now, then friday night I remembered that our pastor mentioned last week that a woman had contacted him about moving her son here to UNC hospital and I guess it’s for a long time, since she needed household stuff, of course I was thinking quilts!!

I found out during the week that the son is a teenager, so friday night I was looking at the quilts I had made already and nothing really looked like a teenage boy quilt, so I had this quilt top made and quilted it saturday morning and spent all day putting binding on it 🙂

I just quilted the pointy swirls all over it

here’s the back, it was a small blue print on top of white.

I gave this one to the mom from my “pile”

well I gave these to our pastor’s wife to give to her, but now the lady hasn’t replied back on emails, so we’ll see what happens.

Now LOOK at this!!

my husband made me this sign this week.

He has a CNC router in the garage and got the idea to make me a sign.

I love how he capitalized Quilter and spaced it away from my name 🙂

he used a “V” bit, so it’s neat at engraving, then he also stained the wood afterwards



here you can see the size of it, it’s a nice size, eventually it will go above my door, just need to find the hardware for that.

(Now I told him to make more “test” signs to sell at the craft show next weekend)

I need to make more craft stuff too this week
