Project of the Month - June 2011 - Finished

Okay - this definitely took longer than 1 month to complete.

I did make the top in about 1 month - then I sent it to my Grandmother to be quilted by her quilting group.

I got it back about a month ago now and it looks fabulous! I love the bright colors and great patterns. It really makes my bedroom a bright happy place to be.

Take a look and see for yourself!

Thanks to the Rimbey International Historical Quilters for hand-quilting my quilt for me. I love it!

Project of the Month - June 2011 Update

In June, I posted my project of the month which was a Queen Size Quilt Top for my bed.

I love the bright colors and fun patterns in the fabrics.

I did finish the quilt top in the month of June and then took it to the Rimbey International Quilters to be hand-quilted. They don't quilt as a group in the summer so the top didn't get on the frame to get quilted on until September 19th.

Here is a picture of the quilt, laid out on my Grandma's floor as she was marking it for the hand quilting. There are no windows in the room she was working in so it looks a little dark. When I get the quilt back and it's finished I will take some brighter pictures to show off.

Project of the Month - June 2011 - Queen Size Quilt

The recent sunny days make me think that Spring really may be officially here! The snow has finally melted, revealing the grass, flowerbeds and garden underneath. There are lots of puddles to splash in and we have even made a few trips to the park, in our rubber boots, in the last week. 

Here is a sneak peek at my project for the month. I am making a queen size quilt for my bed. Once I finish the quilt top I will be sending it out to the Rimbey International Quilters to be hand quilted by the lovely ladies there.

I have had the floral panel fabric for several years now and I was able to find some more of the floral panels and matching fabrics online. The fabrics are all designed by Holly Holderman of Lakehouse Fabrics.

I love the bright colors and am so excited to get the quilt all put together so I can use it!

I will post some pictures of the finished quilt once I get it back from the ladies in Rimbey.
