Primitive1 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Just feeling sorry for myself as I sit and pick out some stitching that I don't have time to do and thinking that I just may get those last 4 quilts done before Christmas if I don't have to do anymore "unstitching"... How many do you all have left to do? (Because you all know that misery loves company) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hey Vicki, I still have 4 1/2 to go:(. I'm burnt out and feeling sorry for myself too. It wouldn't be so bad except they are all custom except 1. I'm finding it harder and harder to be creative. Could be worse...we could have no customers! Keep me posted as you go. Hey, wanna race??? On your mark.....get set..... GO:D Tracey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharond Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I have 3 customer quilts -- edge to edge -- these are memory quilts that my sister pieced and I have to quilt; one customer just sent an e-mail wanting to know if she could have hers for Christmas. It is 130 x 130 -- flannel top & back and 2 layers of batting. My response was "I don't believe that will happen". Over the last week, I have had customers calling and asking if they could get their quilts before Christmas as they decided to give it as a gift. It drives me crazy when they do this, I asked them if it was a gift for Christmas when they dropped it off. Plus I have 5 tops of my own that I would like to quilt for Christmas gifts. Is it possible to get all of this done? I think I can -- a good friend of mine also a LA has already done some of my customer quilts. What would we do with out great friends.

victoriasews Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I have 3 left - a baby loaded and hopefully done by noon - that is if I don't chat too long here - and 2 twins. My goal to finish is Friday. My self imposed deadline was Dec. 1, but somebody stole that fist week off my calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltlover03 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 All of mine are D.O.N.E....now I am chilling, training the new puppy, learning some new techniques from my DVD's I bought over the course of the year and haven't had a chance to follow through with. I will be spending Christmas by myself, Hubby is working so I really will have quite time. I will be picking up more Quilts on Saturday, but none for Christmas giving. It has been a wonderful year!

But I just started in Sept. so hopefully one of these days I'll wish I was slow!! I just get nervous when I only have one or two customer quilts on my shelf.

victoriasews Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Well, the baby quilt wasn't done by noon. Customer called and said she was leaving a gift for me at the quilt shop. She called again 20 minutes later and said the shop was closed, could I come and get it? It took about 15 minutes to drive there and guess what? Just what I needed on a day like this! A bottle of red wine!!!!!!!!!!! What a sweet peach she is! I just had to laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewlinzi Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 3 left including one for me. No Christmas cards written, no friends and family shopping, no groceries, no cooking, no crafty gifts made - Bah Humbug!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfly Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Two customs and one E2E freehand. One of the customs is on the frame now. Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Well, since I don't advertise or keep pamplets at my local quilt shops, I get my customers as they trickle in. I don't ever have a backlog. I had a few customer quilts I finished up a couple of weeks ago. This past weekend, I spent the entire weekend finishing up a flannel quilt I pieced and quilted (it's a gift for a friend) and I piecied two Turning 20 quilts for little girls-sisters (also friends of mine) and those quilted and DONE! ... Well, this Monday night I got two calls from two guild members - one is a baby quilt and the other is a king-size scrappy quilt made from all wool (top and back, and batting---that will be warm!). I've got the king loaded up and ready to start quilting it first thing Thursday morning (I have Thurs & Friday off vacation) so should have those two done on Friday and will take them down with me to my guild Christmas party on Saturday. Woops, I am piecing a small baby quilt for a newborn as a gift (charity). That should be a quickie. I think that's it for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IQuiltToo Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 A twin panto on the frame. Putting rows together on a quilt for our son. I don't do customer quilts at this time. Just hope to get these done. Spent all day yesterday doing the cards...but they are done! Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Last one on the frame. Remember my post about the one that was loaded that is causing me all the problems? Well I'm hoping to get the one feather border done later today and then I have to turn it and finish it up. I'm hoping for today but that isn't looking like it will happen. I need to go run the snowblower and then I'll come in and see what work I have. I stayed home today to work from here and I've had nothing but problems! Grrrrrrr!

CindyT Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Heidi, your problems were supposed to be over with last week. I only have binding left to do on my FIL's quilt. I feel for all of you under the gun quilting for business. We used to have a retail store and the holidays were no fun (long hours, grumbly people, hardest work of the year), but now starting to enjoy the holidays again. Yeah!

smorris Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hi Vicki I hope the unpicking went really quickly for you - it always happens that you have to do that when you are under pressure. I rushed to get my customer quilts all out of the way before Claudia arrived so that, after she left, I'd be free to practice what we learned in the lessons. I'll be busy loading my own ebay purchased top today that Claudia gave us quilting ideas for in her What to Do on a Quilt class. That was a wonderful class. She showed us what to do to bring all the elements of a quilt, the piecing, applique and patterns on the fabrics together so that they all repeated and flowed nicely together - it was a great learning experience.
