Actual QUILT content!!!!!

-
There has been a severe lack of fiber content in my posts lately. So FINALLY I have some!

What does one do when WH comes in and says I need a quilt done before I have to go back to Alaska in two weeks.

Well after one weighs out the pro's and con's of doing physical harm they realize that they have just been ASKED to go buy fabric! I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but I figured this one out all on my own.

The top is flannel backed satin and the backing is minkee. LOVE that minkee. The couple that are getting this are very special so i wish this were better. But its all I have time for right now. They paid over 200 at an auction for one I made just like this a couple years back. Right after they had just went through their 5th miscarriage. Broke my heart but she said she wanted it for a special friend and if she ever got pregnant again would I make her one with the same fabric? UH no brainer on that one.

So here it is. I hate the circle in the middle. Design yucky on my part.But I was flying by the seat of my pants here as I still cant find most of my patterns.

I did today. Then just as I was about to scream I found this. It has ALWAYS made me laugh.I had forgotten I had it though.So today it was just like a present.Ü Oldest daughter has been confined to the house with what her doctor tells us is a very contagious viral infection. Personally I think her doctor is smoking some funny stuff. Her blood tests were normal and she has been battling bad tonsils for a month.Hmmmm. I dont think it takes rocket science when that is ALL she went in there for but evidently it does. More tests have been ordered and she is confined until monday. Can you say lets drive mom crazy? Then I found out a king size ALL feathered quilt that I mailed to a friend as a belated (like 20 years late)wedding, anniversary,housewarming(twice),congratulations on your 4 kids, yeah dont hate me because I am a horrible friend quilt NEVER showed up in the mail! I cannot find (big shocker there huh)the tracking slip. I did have it at one time in my hot little hands. So I know it w...
