A quilt quilted and letter C...

 These letters are really addictive...C was easy to do. Love this one!

 Tada! A...B...C...

I finished quilting my friend's quilt today too. This one is her version of the Garden Window Sampler. I will be teaching this sampler again starting in July. I have one more of hers left to quilt, and I loaded it on the machine after I finished this one. I should get a lot quilted tomorrow...with any luck!

Red Letter Quilt Along

The Red Letter Quilt Along began yesterday at Patchery Menagerie. I have wanted to learn more about making letters with fabric and incorporating them into quilts ever since Word Play Quilts by Tonya Ricucci came out.  I am fascinated with this process, I just haven't found the time to try it. Along comes Lynne with her Red Letter Quilt Along, it's summer so I have a little more time and I am jumping in!

 We need 25 fabrics of our color. She is doing hers in red, but you can do any color you want. I am using blues and have a pretty good assortment of them to choose from. My background is a pale pink/yellow/greenish blender.

Then you need one other color that pops with the rest for your initial letter. For my initial I think I will use an orange, though not sure at this point which one. I have a few letters to go so don't have to decide right now! You need background fabric that your fabrics will show up well on.

Here is another orange. She is doing one letter a day on weekdays only, so it should be very doable. 
Here is my first letter!!!! I love it!

I got about 2/3 finished quilting a friend's quilt today. I have one more of hers left.
