"Back In The Saddle" [so to speak!]

I have been absent from the blog scene a week, I was in CO. & busy with a house guest etc. I think that I did manage to infect her with the dreaded & incurable Quilt Pox- she fell for the NYB. PP. blocks & using some of my CW replica fabric scraps, made two & I sent her home with fabric for two more-LOL, will her husband ever allow her within my sphere of influence again!?
Aren't they pretty & didn't she do a great job & for a first attempt too?


I have completed another project.
I call this quilt "Provence" because it reminds me of that region of France. I got the top from Linda Rotz Miller prolific & talented quilter-I actually won it in a drawing! She has a plethora of tops to choose from all very reasonably priced.


I quilted it with a freehand Baptist Fan design that I like very much especially for busy quilts that won't really show the quilting. doesn't the red binding set it off perfectly? Thanks Linda I love this quilt & it may be difficult to part with whenever it finds a new home!
I notice that there are a few threads on the back, it's hard to catch them all. Quilters always have threads hanging around it seems!

The solid backing in a soft yellow shows off the design nicely & compliments the colors of the top.

Here is the Rainforrest quilt, finally bound! It's small so it would make a good table topper or maybe a wall hanging.

I managed to cut out the fabric & piece a baby girl D9P last week while visiting with my friend- it's a really sweet quilt so I will get it on my LA tomorrow because the baby is due any day now I think. I sort of blew off today, recovering from the 9 hour road trip from CO. to AZ yesterday & the shock to my system of the transition from 55 degrees to 113! Yikes it is hot here!
