Look who lives in these houses!

Freddy Moran houses! 
Painted bright and set in black and white. Classic Freddy!
This quilt was organized by Carol G and blocks were made by her small group,
members of Annie's Star Quilt Guild as a fund raiser for KIXE our local PBS station.
There is a fish living in this house! Love the roof :0)
And Winnie the Pooh lives here!
The red one must be the dog house ;0)
The backing

Fun quilt! Carol presented the quilt at our guild's meeting Thursday. Quilted for community service, I used neon green threads, Glide on the back and a Fantastico on the front. Quilting design is Peacock Feathers by Apricot Moon. I believe it was a cotton poly blend for batting as it had more loft than the Warm and Natural community service used in the past. Speaking of batting, I just finished a customer quilt with the new Tuscany batting from Hobbs. It's a cotton and wool blend. I LOVE it!!! I haven't taken pix yet along with a couple more quilts finished this week. Next post :0) Our guest speaker at the guild meeting was Mary Kay Davis. Really good trunk show and workshop yesterday.

We are quite happy with a good rain storm that moved in yesterday. It poured and we need the water. Less wind would be better tho. Good weather to work on some quilt projects. That's what I have planned, to finish a top I started yesterday in our guild's workshop at HRQ with Mary Kay. Pix of everyone's tops posted on Ramblin' Rows.

btw... there is a Sue Spargo workshop coming up at the end of March with a few spaces still available. 5 days of classes... Honey Run Quilters for more info!
Tot Ziens! Enjoy your weekend, Jo

Sandy's Stars

Next quilt up ~ A star quilt in primary colors made by Sandy E, I named it Primarily Stars altho the pattern had a different name. Quilted with Peacock Feathers... a new pattern from Apricot Moon. I truly appreciate the texture of their quilting designs. 
 The design worked out for the alternating Friendship Star blocks, 
done in primary colors, adding a little bit of fun to this quilt.
Pools of Blue Friendship Stars :0)
 I lined up the center of the design with each of the star centers!
It worked out great. Thread is a blue Omni quilted with wool batting.
Thank you Sandy!
Sandy already has this quilt, I took it by Cathy's Honey Run Quilters
yesterday for Goldie's Stash Burner workshop and also picked up a quilt for Phoebe.
Found out it was Ronda's birthday...
Happy Birthday Ronda!

On the frame now is a quilt for Betty V.
Custom quilted so it's taking a bit of time, almost finished!

Tot Ziens, Jo
