Lorax and fabric ball and customer’s quilt done

You can tell it’s vacation time when I don’t blog post every day!

Of course I can’t avoid a little quilting or hand sewing 🙂

I finally finished this customer quilt. yay!! it was a monster 🙂 95 x 105″ could hardly fit on my frame, but I managed:-)

I quilted an all over funky flower and leaves patterns

Today while the kids were at VBS, I just HAD to do some machine sewing.

so I started the Dr Seuss- the Lorax quilt. I cut out the panels and I’m pretty much designing it as I go. I will have a tutorial later for it I think.

here’s the first part of a block

then I’m adding more borders to it.

I also finished another fabric ball, it’s small!

here it is next to the rotary cutter. I’ll keep it for Sonja!
