Combo!

Little Machine Quilt Stitiches
Mug Rug
It has been a combo time for us! We are building a porch over a deck off an upstairs bedroom..we think it will help this winter with some drafts....we have been staining the Koi Bridge, porches etc!! I would stain you if you came around I THINK!! :) ....and I have worked on my Swoon Barn Quilt Blocks...so we have been outside!!.....
I did finish my Doll Monthly swap projects today and will send them on the last day of September to my current quilting friend in Michigan.....my plan is to get a quilt loaded on the longarm soon and continue to get things ready to open up "the shop"....truly I am!!....we were just away from cabin for a couple years and now it demands we get it caught up outside....You know .....  LIFE!!!.....  Hope your coming October will be very positive and blessed!! Quilted ones from me....to you......Karen

Try It!

Swoon Quilt
Quilting and Quilting some more!  Trying new wings in the longarm quilting world these days and finding it so much fun!  Trying to just relax and enjoy the process and pray it looks good when it is done!  In the last month I put together and quilted a Swoon Quilt....I do love the fabric I used from Lori Holt in it. It is a challenging quilt top to put together but please try it!! You won't be disappointed in the results....
 I also made a doll quilt with the same pattern and fabric for my Doll Monthly August swap.  I am just going to post my phone pictures and hope you enjoy them.  I love to quilt and would be happy to finish a top that you have completed!  Just email me.  Quilted Quilted Blessings and more!!  Karen

Circles and Circles!
