Today I mailed two quilt tops to MO. They were made by Mary, my good friend from Oregon, who loves to machine piece tops but hates to quilt them. So I sell them on eBay for her. I have a kept a few that I have quilted. She is an awsome piecer. I envy her crisp corners and sense of style. Her tops are always perfectly flat with no puckers. She tells me she has one whole room filled with fabric she has purchased over the years and she will be making tops to sell for a long time just to use up her stash.
Visit my eBay store, Powder River Threadworks. You might be lucky and get a chance to bid on one of her tops. I get one listed about every two months.

Mary mailed a new top to me last week. It is huge--king size. It has a wild-goose chase border running along the two sides. One of her best... in blues and creams. It is on it's way to Baker City, Oregon to be custom quilted. Should be finished and ready to sell by July 4, 2012. I plan to show it at Short Term Gallery in Baker City when it is finished and if I still have it in October 2012 I will display it in the Aroura Quilt Show.
Finished Sept. 1, 2012
This quilt was finished Sept. 1, 2012. It was beautifully machine quilted by Tracy Lovisone of Baker City, OR. It is currently on display at The Short Term Gallery in Baker City, OR. It will be displayed in future quilt shows of 2013.
The blue and cream quilt top has just returned from being quilted by Tracy who did a fantastic custom quilting design using her long arm. It is waiting for me to get the binding sewn on and take to The Temporary Art Gallery in Baker City, OR for the Sept./August display, replacing the vintage Caged Star that is there now. Better get going on that. Needs to be done in 10 days......

ReplyDeleteThe beautiful blue and cream quilt has gone to live in another home. I got a chance to see it in it's new setting, a walnut carved bead stead in my neighbor's guest room. Char Wirfs
