How many Quilts in a day

https://www.quiltfest.com/upcoming-shows-and-events/world-quilt-florida-2/

I was lucky to attend a World Quilt Show, in Orlando  with some friends. Unfortunately some of my photo's are not that great, I am hoping SOMEONE takes the hint and buys me a swanky camera!

There were many quilts of all sizes some were pieced and others were a lot of thread art. I have chosen a little variety to show you . So much inspiration so little time. Unfortunately I did not take pictures of the more tapestry like quilts- not that I did not like them but I couldn't get a clear shot!!

I had another challenge this one for Valentine's Day

Not one person will have this embroidery file- It suits the occassion don't you think? Click on the picture to open it up full size to see the text on the mug rug

I am so busy there is little time for me to get caught up

SO planning ahead I have Ted's 3rd birthday outfit done

I need to clip a few more threads and then I am off to the races. I must get things under control and just when I do I come up with another great idea!

Finally the quilt is done

I made the top months ago and no time to put it together but thought it would be a good thing to do while in the south so here it is

I was sent a photo and asked to make a quilt - it turned out 45 X 80. I had to use all recycled material. the backing was from a duvet cover, the flowers were appliques that I reversed to get a softer color rather than the vibrant red. I did a lot of thread painting ( that I had no idea if I was doing it correctly ) it all turned out in the end, but I had a wee bit of an after thought. Why did I make it the size it is?? I will turn it on end and hang in in my hallway

Mischief

We had a good week, somehow Ben managed to build this and get it in the RV and then the legs folded up and we took it out for a rest

A few days later out this pops from the other end

Hard to believe that we were able to get around the table and to Ben's delight into the fridge otherwise it may have been take out for a few days.

Little Red Riding Hood needed

a place to live and look at all that snow.. The wood stove is roaring see the smoke billowing from the top?

Sometimes I can be creative

Whipped these up while waiting to get my hopping foot  for my sewing machine
Ben built a quilt table for me so now all I need is to get it up tomorrow now that I have my proper quilting foot, Will spend a few days practicing on that quilt then watch out!

Had a great time with the little guy

 So Xmas day came and the little guy requested 2 cakes and a present from Santa

 We got to see his cake but not taste it of course~

 He liked his fire truck and took a break out to watch a cartoon show while his parents were out

His parents got him a " Shamu" toy which is a Whale  and a dolphin and of course a driver for the Whale.

A good time was had by all there was a lot of entertainment for the little guy at the resort from crafts to playground, pools and splash pad of sorts. The highlight is that he found out in short order a golf cart would bring him back and forth

Low Cal Gingerbread house

I made this on my embroidery machine, I stitched it on a washable stabilizer when rinsed it disappears and I try to leave some of the stabilizer in to make it stiff. I have left it to dry and tomorrow am I will glue on the roof, as you can see it looks a little loose! I put a tea light in it so that you can see how it looks lighted and the detail of the little house. If you click on the photo is will enlarge . This type of embroidery is called free standing lace.

more machine embroidery

This is what I made with my embroidery machine last night.
Aren't they cute, they are called free standing lace and look as if they were tatted
