Over The Porch Rail Explosion!

We couldn’t tell if the rain was moving in, or moving on by – but we hurried on up yesterday late afternoon and filled the porch to the gills with so many beautiful quilts!
These ladies have worked tirelessly – but there was still time for some quilt shop hopping, a run or two to the grocery store, fabulous meals, time on the porch –
And I even heard there was time for sleeping – though it doesn’t look like much sleep was happening!
The September Quiltvillians are on their way home today – but they sure left us with a fantastic send off for the time they spent here!

Kathy’s long-term hexie project is finally at the assembly stage. She says it will be done, quilted and bound by this time next year. I hope she brings it back to show us. I love all of the fussy cut prints in it!

Another cute cute owl panel finish!

Modeling a jacket in progress!

Just in time for the onset of sweater weather!

For those asking about Jen’s bear pattern from yesterday’s post: It’s Simplicity It’s So Easy A2115 which I am told is out of print, but you can perhaps find one on Ebay or Etsy.

Tula Tallulah Lou – now at the front door waiting for us to come out and do the over the porch rail business. Hahahaha! She is so funny.

Completed baby quilts including a rail fence on the left, followed by Kathy’s string quilt, and HALF of her quilt top she has been working on this entire time. Hopefully this quilt will come back next year so we can see the finish!

A glorious Judy Niemeyer top finish – and yes, all of those dots are hand appliqued!! What a beauty!

Two matching heart quilts both made by two friends!

Streak of lightening baby quilt, tumbling blocks variation, Rick Rack Nines from Adventures With Leaders & Enders and two fun tops from GE Designs. We filled that porch rail full!

So full that we had some extras that there was no room for in the line up:

She said this one is going on her bed right after the holidays while she waits for spring to arrive. Eternal optimism. Love it!

Oopsie Daisie has been renamed Dizzy Daisy! It was a group project, everyone making blocks, only when they came together some where going this way, some were spinning that way, and they made a happy scrappy giggly quilt. Yep. I get it! This is how I roll, too!

It was a marvelous week!

See you next September, ladies!

Hand quilting fans.

I’m still coughing up my lungs, though there is really nothing left to cough. So mostly I’m staying fairly quiet and doing my best to get over this thing. I’d say I’m 70% better. And losing patience with it.
