Thank you Thank you for all of the wonderful comments left on the voting page. (click on the 'vote for me' to the right to check it out and add yours)

Bonus: Just wanted to share my latest customer quilts.....so happy to be back into the swing of things. I'm loving how the feathers turned out on this cotton sateen (left). The borders especially!  On the right is my 'Zoe' pattern with a front facing frog pantograph which was just the perfect design to put on this Tula Pink 'Prince Charming' fabric with the frogs subtly in the design. This particular frog in the fabric and the pantograph just happened to align in an amazing sort of way. I have a client who has done several of my 'Zoe' pattern quilts and I usually get to be very creative with the quilting. This is the first I've done a pantograph on 'Zoe', but it was just the perfect design for the fabric and the quilt is intended for a boy. I'll post more photos in my Facebook album.

An exciting development in my long-arm machine setup includes a set of Red Snappers that I bought from Renae Haddadin while at MQX-West. No more pin pricks for me and quilt backs (and tops if you want) are loaded and unloaded in a snap! Check them out on her website.

Personal Projects Progress: 8 are in process

• EQ7 2011 BOM- on track through October! I think the remaining two blocks will need to have green centers, but a fair amount of white, wdyt? Maybe another with significant black. I don't know what the block patterns are yet, so just thinking about trying to get a decent balance. The EQ challenge will be at the end of the year when we get to design a 'setting' for these blocks.

• Fearless Design Ch. 9 - 4 blocks w/diff. borders/placemats for charity . I got the hearts attached to the background. Now to decide on the various borders. I've designed several in EQ7, but not sure I want to go through the real exercise and make them, just due to time
