My husband has been gone for 2 months and I have completed 5 quilts! I went through a few weeks of crazed quilting and was whipping out project after project. And of course I have to share them with you!
I posted a photo of this one previously, but it is now quilted and hanging in my kitchen. =)
The fabric is Moda's Zippity Do Dah by Sandy Gervais and was quilted with red stars. I called it "Operation Iraqi Freedom" in honor of my husband's deployment, but apparently it would need to be changed to "New Dawn" or whatever they are calling it these days....oh well. Either way it's patriotic and my first labor of love with him far away.
This is my mysterious gift quilt for my brother and his wife as a belated wedding gift. I call it "City Lights" and it was made of a mish-mash of fabrics that fit their decorating scheme. Its quilted with bubbles. =)
I have 3 more quilt tops done, plus another I found in storage waiting to be quilted. Now I am just awaiting funds to have them quilted...pictures will come as projects are 100% completed.
In other news, I may be starting an Etsy shop to sell some of these quilts that are in need of a loving home. I may even do some commission quilts. I'm working on a commission for my mom right now, and have heard I may have a few more in my future. I am excited at the prospect because I love making quilts, but pretty soon our house with be over run with them.
