Quilting Ladies that I Quilted for a Friend

I occasionally do custom quilting for others, not as a business, but just for fun.  Here is a quilt of cute quilting ladies I did for a friend from my Palo Verde Patchers' quilting group. 


I did a meander around the quilting ladies.

There's a feathered wreath in the large 4-patch blocks.

This is the inner border design.

A feathered outer border.
 
I was very slow finishing this quilt.  This poor lady had to wait for quite some time for her quilt.  I'm finally starting to feel better though, I've had quite a bad fibro flare, and it's kept me out of my sewing room for several months.  I don't do quilt show quality quilts - I just quilt for fun from time to time.  I'm pleased to have this one finished.

Crazy Quilt Mini Silk Ribbon Embroidery Flowers

Finished the Crazy Quilt Class (#107 Mini Silk Ribbon Embroidery Flowers) in August but forgot to post pictures.  Fun class, learned a lot, and have already made a few more flowers for some of my other crazy quilt blocks.

Scene #1.  Can you see the little bunny in the bottom right corner?

Scene #2
 
Both scenes together.
 
I was able to get them both in my hoop, side by side, because I made them half the size of the pattern.  My plan is to put them into the center of a crazy quilt block so I wanted to make them small enough to do that.  It made forming the flowers, and fitting them into the allotted space along the fences a little bit more challenging, but that's okay.
