30th Anniversary

Today my parents celebrate their 30th anniversary!  Happy Anniversary to them!
(Here they are at Versaille during our trip to Paris last year.)
It's been no secret that this quilt is their 30th anniversary present.  This weeked, in anticipation, I finished putting the binding on. I came home from vacation and the quilt was waiting for me at the post office, freshly quilted and waiting for its binding.
Now I just need to add a label and a hanging sleeve.
Judi from Green Fairy Quilts did the machine quilting.
I really love how this quilt came out.  Judi did a great job quilting it.  Soon it will hang in my parent's beach house.

It's Quilted - Gaaa!!!!

Okay, go ahead and laugh at the title.  Can you tell that I'm excited?  Judi over at Green Fairy Quilts finished quilting my "Fire and Ice" quilt this week and she shared some photos of the finished quilt.  It shipped out to me yesterday and I can't wait to receive it and study it up close.  These photos are from Judi.  I'll take more of my own when I get the quilt. 
I love how from this view the quilting doesn't take away from the actual pattern of the quilt.  Then, once you get up close you see the beauty of the quilting.
The colors are a bit off here, but you can really see the detailed quilting.  I love how the large blue triangles were quilted to match the fabric used.  I also LOVE the light blue sashing.  I think the quilting there is fantastic and perfect for that spot.
Check out the quilting in the green area.  It's so different and fun.
And here are a few photos of the back of the quilt.  It's the same green on the front and I love the way you can see all of the quilting so clearly on the back.  The back is one of Judi's favorite things about a quilt. 


I'm so happy with how this came out.  I absolutely love her work.  If you're not familiar with her work, hop on over to her blog and see some of the other absolutely fantastic work that she has done.  She also has a store where she sells tons of precuts at great prices.  I've ordered from her in the past and always receive everything quickly.  (no, she's not paying me to say this.)

Run, Don't Walk

I don't know how many of you follow the fabulous work for Judi over at Green Fairy Quilts.  If you don't you should.  She posted a blog post today about her sense of fashion and low and behold, in the background is MY quilt on her machine.  Holly Cow!!! I'm so psyched to see what she does with it.  Run over and see what she's done so far.  http://greenfairyquilts.blogspot.com/2011/02/attempt-at-fashion-ha-ha.html  Her work is absolutely amazing.  If you haven't seen her work before, scroll through her blog posts to see for yourself. 

This is the quilt that she's quilting for me.  

I can't wait to see the finished product.  You have no idea. 

Excuse me now while I go blow up those photos and stare at them for the rest of the day.  :)
