Oh no! another overachiever >g< Welcome Tammy. It's lovely to meet you. I'm just going to go along to your gallery now; but thought I'd say hello first, as my computer is temperamental and it might be a while before I get to see your quilts! . In message , JPgirl writes

Welcome to RCTQ, Tammy! You certainly are busy, busy, busy! What a lot of lovely quilts you've been making. :) Do you do your own machine quilting? It's very nice. :)

Oh my goodness. I'm back - computer worked. What a beautiful collection Tammy. They are really lovely. So many large ones - I'm amazed. Congratulations indeed. I'm now eager to see the ones in progress. . In message , JPgirl writes

Wow, I'm impressed! I particularly like the Ducky Lone Star. Is that an original design?

Hello Tammy. Welcome to our group.

Welcome to the bestest quilting circle of friends you'll ever meet! Enjoy! Your quilts are Grrrreat! ME-Judy

Well thank you for all the warm welcomes! To answer some questions, Yes, I do quilt my own tops, I have this thing about paying someone for something that I am quite capable of doing myself, and I don't think that I would be REALLY satisfied with someone else essentially finishing my work. I'm a bit OCD about that kind of stuff.

Yes I do sleep, quite well in fact for having a little one, she has been sleeping through the night since she was about 2 months old and when I first got back into quilting she would take her naps in her chair right beside me with the sewing machine humming away. She keeps herself entertained very well and mommy always takes frequent breaks for play time, but I do alternate between quilting time, feeding time and play time for the majority of the day.

The ducky quilt is just a basic lone star design, I just had some of this fabric with duckies randomly scattered all over it so I fussy cut the diamonds so that the ducks were on each diamond with the same orientation and whipped it together. I then used the leftover ones on the border.

I just finished the binding on the Crib sized Dresden plate quilt because I am not really in any shape to be hunched over my sewing machine today, unfortunately I seized up my back pretty good trying stippling for the first time on my lone star quilt and I was so excited I was sitting over my sewing machine for 3 straight hours last night, my back is certainly paying for it today. The dresden plate design is an old design I found in an 80's Ladys Circle magazine, I have had the magazine for quite a while now and when I first saw this particular one I knew I had to make it! So when I heard one of my friends was preggers I thought it would look completely adorable in 'kiddie prints". It is in my gallery, the link is in my first post.
