frame friday on a wednesday

i know i haven't been posting anything quilty lately...sorry! i have tons of quilt pictures to post, but they haven't been picked up yet...

i also have been neglecting my frame fridays...so i'm hoping to make up for it....

i worked on the blog BOM too...i'm ready to get started with that in a couple of weeks. the lucky customers who have picked up/dropped off lately got a sneak peek at the first three blocks...

frame friday #5

that yellow is screaming feathers! so, i guess i'll have to quilt feathers to make it happy :)

frame friday #4

i'm almost done with this one...should look familiar to someone *grin*....i hope no details show...

frame friday #3

i know it's thursday, but i've missed some fridays....and i'm just starting this one, so it'll still be there tomorrow...

this is a vintage kit quilt from the 30s/40s. *CLAP* i LOVE these types of quilts. it has the dotted lines for quilting. this is the first applique one i've gotten the joy of doing, i have done a cross-stitched one. it says it was produced for Progess and is called (very creative name here) The Iris Quilt. i have the Bucilla Poppy quilt that i can't wait to have time to start. (gotta love Ebay!)

anyway, the ECQG quilt show preview show/award ceremony is tonight and i'm getting antsy excited...i find it hard to concentrate on just one thing....let me set the record straight- i'm not excited cause i expect to win anything, i just LOVE looking at all the quilts! and talking quilts. it's the one time i'll be totally submersed in my favorite thing in the whole world!

i would be a crappy show judge, i'd want to give every quilt a ribbon. i'd get creative with the categories too. *giggle* Best Use of the Ugliest Fabric in the World/ The Oldest UFO Finished/ Best Beginner First Quilt....you know...like that. but i like the idea that was brought up on the APQS forum around MQS this year: every quilt has a ribbon on it, some are just invisible.

come back tomorrow for the winner pictures....

frame friday #2

by golly....frame friday #1

so, i read alot of blogs and everyone has these cute little things that they do on certain days that start with the same letter that the day does: WIP wednesday, sunday stash, fabric friday, etc. so by golly, i'm starting my very own do-something-on-a-specific-day thing.

so welcome to the inaugural "frame friday" post. every friday i will take a picture of whatever quilt i have in the frame and is currently being quilted....

so there...you're welcome to play along. :)
