Project Update
After four straight days of celebrating Christmas is was nice to have a down day yesterday to try and play catch up and to relax a few minutes. This morning I started sorting through the more than 900 photos I've taken this holiday season...so many favorites, so many memories.
Today I'm going to keep it simple and update you on two projects that got completed. The first is one I've written about in past blogs.
I've named the quilt "Friends Take Flight." It will be a gift for a friend that loves to pheasant hunt. Emily Keller did a nice job quilting it on her APQS Millennium quilting system.
This is an antique quilt top I purchased several years ago. The outside border was shredding so I cut it off. Emily Keller did a great job working with the misshaped quilt. The backing fabric is a little wild...but I thought it was fun! It's been washed and dried (used my favorite Shout Color Catchers to ensure no bleeding of that red) and is now ready to be used. Just need to figure out what I want to do with it.
Next up...Henry's tractor quilt!

Your photo has given me the courage to
launder & complete an antique Sun Bonnet Sue quilt top that my mother-in-law made years ago. I was afraid to have it quilted and finished because of the red fabric but now I'm encouraged to use the Color Catchers and go for it.

Love the basket quilt, wow! What size are the basket blocks?
She did a beautiful job quilting it.
I am really drawn to red and white quilts lately.
thanks for sharing this one with us

Kathie,
I love red-and-white quilts. Actually I love all two-color, high-contrasting quilts! Make that blue-and-white, yellow-and-white, or red-and-white. The basket blocks are 11" square.
