Out of the Loop

I've been a little out of the loop here with the start of the academic year at the college where I work but I think I am caught up at work and a little caught up at home on some projects. First is the baby quilt I was working on in our last episode. Acutally I made two of them and both are done which is a good thing since one of the baby showers is this Sunday! 
I love the backing which I got at Alewives Fabric in Maine when I was on vacation there. A fabulous shop. I really like polka dots and this one was perfect. The binding was also purchased there and is a tiny polka dot. My quilter did a fabulous orange, paisley quilting design which I think looks fantastic.
Then I finished my small quilt out of Fig Tree fabrics, Mill House Inn. A nice fall feel I think so it will be hung on a wall in my home. I love the wheat quilting pattern my quilter did.
 
This is the baby sister of the large quilt I did. Both are from Carrie Nelson's really great book, Schnibbles Times Two.
So that's it from NH. We finally have a fallish feel in the air which I am thrilled about. I love summer but there was just too much hot summer this year. I'm over it. Time for Fall!

  7. I really like your work. Do you piece by machine? Do you ever hand quilt?

I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.
