The blooming computer (and blooming mobile phone) did more amazing (?) updates. I wish they would stop. I only just get used to a new thing and it changes. OK, I am lying, I can't keep up with the changes, so I don't turn my computer on much, ha!
There are some amazing projects being made by my customers. I am very lucky to be able to help with all sorts of decisions. Easier piecing methods, fabric colour choices, fabric design, border treatments etc. I even help out with cutting at times. I do an awful lot of 'Mathemisms' too. I do my best to give great customer service. It's lovely when people show their appreciation, (insert big smiley face) and they pop in to show me how pleased they are with their projects or they post pictures on their 'Socials',
"Look what I made!" Makes me proud. I even get an occasional mention sometimes. Whooop Whooop So Far, no-one's been in to say "Angie, what were you thinking, I hate this colour!!!" hahahahaha
Here goes on the photos I found in my newly updated phone.
Gail is making a Reading Pillow for a Dinosaur loving little-un. She had been watching Rose's dinosaur quilt making recently and had the urge to to make a Stegosaurus, as you do. That happens a lot, everyone's work inspires someone else. Gail is very pleased with him, I'm guessing its a him? He's an Elizabeth Hartman Dinosaur.
Pam finished this kiddo quilt top in record time. She really enjoyed making it.
The pattern is in an Annie's Quilting book, excellent value books Fast & Fun Quilts for Kids available in my very own shop, of course!
Christabelle is so very, very happy with this gifting quilt. It's for a special little lady named Robin, I hope you can spot the Robin blocks. Each block has been made especially with Robin's home life in mind. She loves Ice-Cream (who doesn't!) she lives by a lake with her family and loves to 'boat'... that kind of thing. What a lovely gift. Huge toot toot tooting for this one Christabells, so much thought has gone into making it. Fabulous and proudly finished.
I have hosted many sandwich Saturdays recently, but on Fridays. This one belongs to Princess Jackie. Isn't it cute. This one has a double side Cat theme, I might have mentioned that in an earlier post. You will see the other side when it's toot-tooting time.
This is a shop customer's project. We had spent quality time choosing all the fabrics figuring the pattern out together, and it shows doesn't it. It's a fabulous Highland Cooow. Thank you for bringing it back to my shop and Toot toot toot, for your fabulous and finished, quilted cushion.
This was a huge Sandwich to make. That's really obvious! We had to pin it in two stages. Almost all of these fabrics are from my very own shop, don't they look great? This Snowman Collector quilt is a very happy make. The quilting will be a hefty task, but Deb is up for it!
Bev is very pleased with her current project. Applique is a bit like Marmite, Bev is a lover of it, are you? She's never made Prairie points before either, the absolute pleasure when she produced 4 Corner Stones, with perfect Prairie Points, was palpable.
Sharon is a labeller, yes, that is a real word... I just wrote it! She wanted to make a Stained Glass Window effect quilt, like the one that was hanging in my shop a few weeks ago. I explained how easily it can all go wrong, so she tripled up on the Post-Its!! What a smart cookie she is!
Merlot, our newest Grannie is planning to be showering her little angel with quilts, quilts and more quilts. All of the applique pieces have been chosen and stuck in place so there's just a million hours of applique stitching to be done now. So cute!
Joanne hand appliqued the hearts for this quilt top. Since then she has treated her very own self to a Juki DX7 and is absolutely loving the blanket stitch, it's a game changer! The top is ready for sandwiching and that will happen soon, fingers crossed.
I emptied out the 'Rooting Rack' just to give it a good sort out as it was getting a bit messy after all the customers rooted in it. Just because I remembered to, I took a photo. It's the window side of the classroom, with a naked rooting rack!! It's been filled up again now.
