Title: 2021 - projects and completed items available
Post by: Chanda on March 08, 2021, 10:29:58 PM
The 2020 available items are still available in that thread.

I've finished a few items in 2021 and have a few started or about finished.

I thought I had a finished picture of the giraffe piece.

The little one is just a little placemat, I just used up the last piece of the cute print, there is no batt in it.

5 fall placemats

Can't remember if the fall table topper made the 2020 thread.

As usual, unless otherwise stated, they are all available.

That one is mine, mistakes and all; I tried quilt as you go.  This was my practice before I used the technique on your big quilt to sew the three sections together; the sashing on yours is much better and has cleaner lines (you probably didn't even notice).  [The back side of mine, the sashing is a wonky mess.]   I used just about all the blue fabrics I had in my stash plus a few new pieces, so there is no blue in my stash.

It is absolutely lovely -- wonky or not -- as all your quilts are.  Anyone who hasn't purchased at least one of your offerings is missing out on something VERY special!!  I love each and every piece I've purchased, as do my family members who have been lucky enough to be at the receiving end of my purchases!!   :-*

Hopefully, it'll be done sometime this year.  Working on a Mystery Quilt for quilt guild (don't recall if I posted before, while I was working on the blocks).   Pandemic kind of interrupted how we got our clues along the way, but it's a work in progress.  I have the blocks all done, and the final assembly instructions, so I've been working on putting it together.  The top is "due" in May for quilt guild, the finished quilt in September.   
I did not get pictures of all 10 blocks as I made them (well 10 clues, some were just a couple blocks to be made, others were several); but here are a few of the individual blocks, and then a picture of the center section put together.

Really cool!!!  That center round final picture is one I'll be watching closely!!

The spinning, flower looking block in the first picture, and the blue polka dot and white in I think the second picture, are the next round of blocks.  Cream background strips between the "rounds.
And, I'll be changing up a couple little things from the directions, as I don't want the light background as the outer border, so will make border inside that wider, and skip the light outer (you'll see when I get that far).

I'll be in line right behind you! >:D

I agree with what you said about the care and quality of the work Chanda does.  I gave a friend of mine a lap quilt Chanda did that was Pink Cancer survivor ribbon themed.  She used it while caring for a friend's very premie baby.  Little Dexter is now a thriving and rambunctious 5 year old. 🥰

Chanda, thank you for giving us the opportunity to enjoy, and be blessed by, your lovingly worked pieces.  It's one of many arts that are so precariously close to being lost.

The blue and white quilt, will be in the 70x70 to 80x80" size range, depending on how many outer borders I put on it.
Title: Re: 2021 - projects and completed items available
Post by: dcwolcott on May 05, 2021, 08:19:50 AM
I vote for 80 x 80 and that it comes to live in Florida....LOL...but I will share since I've purchased so many before, and LOVED every one.  LOL

So happy you love your/my quilts.  Does a soul good to hear.
Wait til you see the horse quilt I'm working on, there are a couple wrinkles in the backing, but the top is awesome.  I think it's twin size.  [I think I've shared pics of the pieces in the quilt, but not the quilt itself.  I have it pinned together, but not quilted or bound.

Still don't have the horse quilt quilted, but did work on a few placemats to try out thread for the horse quilt.   They are oversized, but should still work as placemats.
Title: Re: 2021 - projects and completed items available
Post by: dcwolcott on August 22, 2021, 10:00:14 AM
So pretty!!  I'd buy them all, but I live by myself, and always eat alone, so I'd only need 1 placement.    :-[

 Someone else should enjoy these.  They are so nice with a variety of horse colors and patterns!!

If you want one or two, I'm pretty sure I have more of the panels, I can make you one or two.   I might have another print also.  It'll have to wait for me to finish this quilt and the guild project quilt, but I can do.

That's very kind, Chanda.  Two would be lovely, and time is no object.  I just didn't want to break up a set someone else could enjoy!!

I'm pretty sure I have several more of the panels.  In addition to the 4 I've already quilted, and 4 that are cut and ready to layer for quilting.   A friend save me a huge pile of horse print samples several years ago, and I finally figured out what to use them for.  :o ;)

Here's the horse quilt finished.  It's supposed to be twin size, we'll see what it ends up after I wash it, need to removing quilt pattern marks.
Title: Re: 2021 - projects and completed items available
Post by: Chanda on September 09, 2021, 10:27:56 PM
And, the Mystery Quilt.  Top is finished, I"m working on the quilting.  Supposed to be done Monday for guild meeting.  :o   I think I can get it done in time.   I didn't put on all the borders they showed, so I think it's about 75" square, but not sure.  Another that will probably need to be washed.
I might have to make a table topper with the center few blocks, it's so pretty (not a huge fan of the outer two borders of blocks).
Title: Re: 2021 - projects and completed items available
Post by: dcwolcott on September 10, 2021, 09:16:58 AM
They are both just beautiful!!  The first, something any one who loves horses should want to own for themselves.   And the second just lovely colors and pattern, again just a beautiful quilt.  You are so talented and I, for one, just love all the talent you bring to these quilts!  Another fabulous job!!!
Title: Re: 2021 - projects and completed items available

thank you so very much Diane.
They are both available.  Once I get a size, I can more accurately figure price.

Think I'm going to be putting together a couch throw or lap quilt with the horse fabrics from the twin quilt.  Something like this...

VERY nice!!!
Thank you.
I ahve quite a bit of the panels from this fabric collection, so no worries, I'll be able to make your pair, no problem.
  I have a summery collection too, might need to make some placemats from that as well, not sure yet, as that group was a pile of miscuts, so will be more challenging to work with.

Well, I found a pattern on-line and thought they were cute.  Hope to make a few and display in a basket.  I may gift  or sell a few.

I completed 12 winter horse scene placemats. They are around 16x22", I think, I'd have to measure again.    They are all available @ $10 each or 4/$30 plus s/h.

[Diane, yours are in a different pile, and not quite finished.]

The Twin Size horse quilt is still available at this time.  I think I put $200 on it, but would have to double check, it might be less than that.
