Here are the first couple customer quilts that I quilted in January.
The first one has wintery fabrics, including pinecones and holly. It is made from large blocks of rectangles and a square. It's quilted with a woodsy pattern of pinecones, acorns, leaves and branches. It turned out great and would look perfect in a cabin!
Next up is a small quilt. Wide table runner size. Log cabin blocks in red and creams. I used a feather with flower in cream areas and another free-hand feather design in the red areas. A double feathered wreath is in the center (red).

New Year Resolutions
Hope you are ready for the New Year! I am making resolutions by the handful and one of them is to be healthier in 2011. I joined a health club and I'm working to make exercise a healthy habit.
I also joined www.sparkpeople.com, an on-line website that helps me track my nutrition, fitness and other goals. I love the menu plans and calorie tracker. It's free - so check it out.
I did not quilt or piece anything over the Christmas holiday. I took a break from all sewing and quilting activities. But it's back to work now. I am quilting a customer quilt right now - a "Cinco De Mayo" quilt (Karen Stone pattern) and I'll share pictures when it's done. It's very time consuming.
Hope you are all quilting and sewing to your heart's content!
