Mom's Bow Tie Quilt + 2 more

Mom had been making the blocks for this for awhile and finally got it all together this summer .I think if we would have had more time we may have had the batting and backing done while I was there.

There just was not enough time!

Hopefully she will be able to get some of it quilted soon.

This is another extra large quilt she put together this summer also.Tina wants this one .

I just love how she puts these colorful quilts together, she always told me I was the better one, but I think she does excellent !!!She really does have an eye for her quilts !!

Week End with Mom~ Her Quilts

 Basket Weave ~ Love the colors !

I had the chance to go visit with Mom while my husband and his brother went to Georgia this past weekend .She was showing me all the quilts she finished since I saw her last  and she sure has been a busy woman! ,
For a long time she had been quilting on a rack ..but it bothered her back, so she is now quilting all the smaller ones on her lap , sitting in a more comfortable chair.However she does a few on the machine too.
Yesterday I machine quilted 2 for her and I will show those later.
These are just a few , I took lots of pictures, so there will be more each day .

Another Wall Hanging Top

This is a panel I've had for a couple years , brought it at HeartFelt  Fabric and Quilt Shop In Winter Haven, Fl. I added a couple more fish & coral , I plan to add  more fish ,maybe a hut,birds and something else on top later.
The top is ready for batting and backing then it will be machine quilted .

Welder's Hats

 Here is 2 hats I made for a neighbor that has become a welder. I have made many,many of these for my brother-in-law and some of the guys he works with too.
I can make them to order ,but I like it better knowing the head size as so many of them have different head size .My brother-in-law likes the odd color ones and the football fabric.
I even made some in bright colors like  pinks ,orange and etc.

Weekly Contest~ Please Vote

I have entered another quilt into the quilting gallery weekly contest .
This one is called School Days , I made lots of these for my sister and others to sell and for a couple of door prizes for the schools .All were different.
The school house ,school bus ,tree's and background I drew and made myself ,I used wonder under to iron onto the back and then machine quilted , the little people were from fabric for  Childrens fabric books .Those were also ironed on.

Another Rust Wall Hanging

 This is another one I have ready for batting and Backing ,after I fix the bottom as I did not get it squared off correctly.
I think I will quilt the flowers and the bottom rusted part in black or dark brown , as I want the flowers to stand out and I will try to make the rust look like a vase.Then use a lighter shade of thread for the top.
I have not decided if I want to bead this one too or not.
