A Friday Finish (almost)

Wild Rose Quilter

I finished the quilting on the vintage top I’ve been working on…or so I thought.  I am not frogging the crosshatching, except for the state of Maine.  When I was reviewing the pics, I noticed the crosshatching on it was way off.  Then, I noticed that I failed to finish one of the flowers! It’s located by the state of Georgia…so I’ll be pinning it back on to finish that up and restitch the crosshatching on Maine.  Glad I noticed those before I called my customer to come pick it up! 

A bit of the back:

This is a little goodie I bought myself today.  I saw it and just couldn’t resist.  Maybe one of these days, I will do what it says!  Be sure to click on these pics to make them bigger and get a good look at it.

I’m a simple woman…at least that what my DH (Dear Husband) used to say about me…I was a wife, I am now a widow, mother, step-mother & step-grandmother, quilter, and have a full time job in criminal justice. I lost my DH on May 22nd, 2011. I live in a small town in Texas. I love piecing quilts, I love quilting quilts. I have a serious addiction to fabric. I’ve been quilting since 1998, and purchased my first longarm, a Gammill Premier, in 2004. I upgraded to an A-1 Elite, named Corky, in March, 2007. I am in the process of rebuilding my life after losing my spouse.

  9. Randi, the quilt turned out wonderful.

    I love the heart’s whimsical look along with the verse on it, thanks for the head’s up on where it might be found.

  10. I’m really glad you left the crosshatching. It really looks just fine – if it is a teeny bit off in places that just adds to the charm. Love the way you did the yellow border pieces too. Your customer should be thrilled!

  11. Randi, this is stunning! I’m sure she’ll be thrilled with it! I need to get my behind in gear and start practicing on my HQ16. The sooner I do the sooner I can have something that looks beautiful too! By the way, where are you finding your patterns, or do you freehand each block? Your blocks look so much like each other I have a hard time thinking you can freehand so many blocks the same. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated. I have no one to get tips from! Thanks ~ Wendy

    Wendy, I sent you an email answering your questions…let me know if you didn’t get it, and I will answer them here.

  13. Wow Randi! The crosshatching looks great– it really sets off the freehand motifs you did. I’ll bet the customer is thrilled! Hey– I think you deserve the goody reward for finishing up a 60 yr old UFO!!
