Onto Finished Friday ... At the beginning of July I signed up as a Quilts of Valor volunteer longarm quilter. I was quickly connected with someone living in the same town as me. Funny thing is that she also used to work with my parents, what a small world! She said the closest person she had ever quilt for her was about an hour and a half away. Well, no more! She gave me two quilts that her quilt guild worked on putting together.
They are scrappy quilts and were a lot of fun to work on and practice some new designs, mainly the echoed feather border. I have been terrified of echoing, but it ended up not being so bad. You'll also notice that I put little stars scattered throughout the feathers just for fun.
Less talk, more pictures ...
I finished up the second quilt last night, but haven't had a chance to photograph it. That will be a post for next week. Thanks Judy for letting me quilt your quilts!
Special shout out of thanks to the linky parties today: Finish It Up Friday; Can I Get a Whoop Whoop?; Thank Goodness it's Finished Friday.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hey, way to go with busting out the echoes. :D I am such a baby at getting over myself and actually trying out something that has been intimidating me. And, yes - 9 times out of 10, it really wasn't that bad at all. lol!! Love the stars slipped in with the feathers for a QOV. Thanks for donating your services for that program. Those quilts are so very appreciated when they're awarded! If you ever get a chance to attend a gifting, jump on it. :D Thanks for linking at TGIFF.
