April Customer Quilts
>> Thursday, May 1, 2008
Well, April flew by way too quickly, and here are the pictures of my customer quilts. Between quilts, I tried to sell my old house, settle in to my new house, keep my kids dressed in clean clothes, and in all my spare time I tried to work on my own quilting projects. (My list of unfinished projects I am working on has not changed a bit.)
On the calendar for may is the "Sister's Weekend" (no, not Sisters, Oregon), but all the Kartchner girls will be getting together for a few fun days and nights of quilting, food, movies, and lots of laughs--you know, good girl bonding time. We like to make the same quilt pattern each time, but with our own personal choice of fabric, so it's fun to see how different and cute all the quilts are when we are finished. Of course, I get to quilt them all, so look for them on my May posting of customer quilts. Who knows, they may even get their very own post! This year, we loved the "Double Denim" pattern (available at Red Rooster by Anita Cranney) so much that we decided that would be the qulit to make for "Sister's" this year. It's very easy, and has lots of potential for creativity. Some of us may use denim, some not. We'll just have to see. Here's a picture of the Double Denim I did for a customer this month:
And the rest of my April customer quilts:
Baby quilt for Denise C.
Aggie Star" for Utah State University. The corner blocks are embroidered with Old Main.
And, here's the back of the "Aggie Star"--my favorite part, because I did it on a solid navy Kona Cotton, and the quilting really stands out!
USC T-shirt qulit for Carrie H.
Another Spring Fling table topper from Lehi
