    Well back in July/August...my machine was down for a couple of weeks and I had some downtime. SO I pieced together a few quilts.

    This one was a panel of fabric...that I cut into rectangles and framed with scraps from my bin of blue, greens and beiges.

    I don't usually work with panels..but this one just spoke to me and I loved it.....so I made it into a quilt.

    I don't have much time to quilt for myself....and I have many, many quilt tops....so I have been sending them off to other quilters....and Darby said she would quilt a few of mine for me.....Isn't that sweet?

    So the poor gal got the stress of working with a LAQ's quilt...and I sent a short backing .....and told her she could not turn on the computer to quilt my quilt...she had to do everything freehand.....it is STUNNING!!! She does beautiful work! I love her feathers...I love her style and I would trust her to quilt for me anytime! THANK YOU!

    Oh and by the way..this has hobbs polydown batting and Darby quilts on an INNOVA>
    ( sound familiar?)

    Thanks for looking

    How beautiful!!! I've been re-thinking panels b/c I've seen so many things made with them.
    Love it!!
    I'm chuckling that the marathon quilter is "sending hers out"

    I know...right?

    I have so many pieced tops ....it is better to get them finished so I don't have them hanging over my head screaming at me.....but soon when school isn't such a bear..I will be scheduling quilting time for myself. SO I can quilt all of my favorite ones.... :thumbup:
