Pennyquilts

My personal Dinner Plate Dahlia is off the long arm. I don’t have a computer on my long arm so this was all hand guided. I am thrilled with the finished quilt

This is the second of three Dinner Plate Dahlia’s that I have quilted. This one I tried to keep the quilting contemporary. There is no feathering on this quilt. Unlike the Summer in Cabo quilt with many thread changes. This quilt I only used the one color of thread. It was a blue/grey and perfect for this quilt. Again, there is about 56 hours into the quilting.

Finished the first of Three Dinner Plate Dahlia’s. This color way is called “Summer in Cabo”. Although it takes almost 56 hours to quilt they are amazing. I don’t have a computer on my Millie so they are hand guided Enjoy the photos. I will post the second of the three in another post.

It has been a long time since my last post to this forum. Life has been crazy to say the least. After 15 years of taking up my dinning room Ms, Molly has been moved. I have relocated the long arm business into building on main st in our town. The new Studio is large wonderful! It was the best move ever. Now on a personal note, our first grand child was born 2 weeks ago. Aurora Mae, came very quickly into this world, they almost didn't make it to the hospital. She is the prettiest baby ever I will try and post more often, I miss my APQS friends.

It looks great! I have the pattern for this quilt. But, I am putting off making it. LOL

I have been so busy, as I said before. Yes I am teaching at New England Quilt Festival and yes my class is "Sold Out". I am thrilled beyond words. I have taken 2 best in show awards with my quilt call, "Geisha Moon". I'm having a little hick up with my health. But, that will soon be resolved in April. My, "General Wives" BOM quilt is on the long arm and might end up being my county fair entry. I have started to paper piece and LOVE IT! Not sure why I waited so long to give it a try? Enough about me. I hope you all have been well. I promise not to let so much time pass between my post

It has been a while since my last post. Things have been so busy for me this past year and my 2013 calender is filling fast. Hope all is well with everyone. Penny

Linda I love it!!!

Prayers going up, please keep us updated.

My quilt, "Geisha Moon" took 1st in it's category and "Best in Show" at our county fair. After entering quilt for 15 years, this is my 1st best in show win. I left my comfort zone and used Asian prints and put over 10,000 crystals on this quilt. I am still in shock

Thank-you, it is a WIP and I have a deadline for this one lol (ya Right) Going to do my best to meet it.

Life has been so busy. I have been teaching locally and I have been the hostess to two, "Jelly Roll Challenges" and have planned a third. But, I am the most excited about my current project. I have named it, "Geisha Moon". I've uploaded some photos if you would like to see it. It still has a ways to go and I have I have all those crystals to apply. Our county fair is the last week of July and I really hope to finish it by then. Crossing my fingers that I get it done. http://s594.photobucket.com/albums/tt23/PennyStr/Facebook/Diary%20of%20Geisha%20Moon%20show%20quilt/
