In no particular order I present you with my current quilts in progress and my finished quilt tops. I took a three year hiatus from quilt making. In March 2013 I went to a Tula Pink presentation at Olive Juice Quilt Shop in Onalaska, WI. That was the jumpstart I needed to dust off the Bernina and get back to piecing those quilt blocks.
The first quilt top to be completed was Tula Pink's Field Study.

Next up... my French General BOM that still needs the narrow and wider border applied.

I picked up these lovely Civil War Repro pre-cut 2" tumblers at the Quilt Expo in Madison, WI. It's going to make a lovely tablerunner.

I splurged on some quilt classes on Craftsy. I took the Wheels pattern from the
Simple Fresh Quilts
- Fig Tree class and started my
FaLaLa Quilt with fabrics from Kate Spain's collections.

Who doesn't love a good Block of the Month??? If you don't already know about
Homestead Hearth's Special Programs.... clink on the link at your own risk. Their BOMs are addictive.
Recently I received the first packet of patterns and fabrics for Hampton Ridge. We're using the Single Star papers for the HSTs. Perfect HSTs every time!

It's been a lot of fun selecting and piecing the blocks for the City Sampler quilt from Tula Pink's book. Here's a selection of blocks completed. I'm half way through the project. Just 50 more blocks to piece!

Oh my gosh…your quilting is amazing. I have also fallen in love with Tula Pink. Must be all the fabulous colors …. have fun. Hugs to you and Owen.
So, so pretty!!!!!! Love them all, the fabrics are just gorgeous. Sweet pic of Owen too.
They're all beautiful, Laurie! Enjoy your walk with Owen!!
Love them all!! Hope you and Owen enjoyed your walk!
What a beautiful place you've featured in your header. I can't imagine the finite work involved with all those pieces fitting perfectly. And look how many you've done! Saw my first Corgi at the pet store getting her shots. Very young and one of the cutest dogs I've ever seen. Kiss the pup for me.
A kindred spirit!! I just found your blog through Edgar's (Blacksheep's Bit of the Web) favorites listing and was delighted to see you're a quilter, stitcher, and reader too! I'm looking forward to your future posts :)
Lovely project Laurie! I'm glad you were inspired to dust off the Bernina and get back to quilting.
Lovely, wonderful work!
I can't get over how much you get accomplished. All of your projects are gorgeous! Wow! It's so great seeing them all together like this. You've shown them to me as you've worked on them, but seeing them all together makes me appreciate your work all the more.
As a new Quilter I have to say it all looks great to me. Love all you choices and the fabric's make me drool. Keep up the great work.
Oh I love them all! Huggles to you and a snuggle to Owen!
Your quilts are absolutely gorgeous! So very talented with a needle are you! Sweet Owen...he's ready to go! :)
Your quilts are gorgeous, congratulations
Your quilting is as lovely as your stitching! It's amazing how well you budget your time ( and probably stay off the Internet to do so!)
Beautiful quilts - a someday wish for me! Owen looks ready to hit the trail. LoL
I just love all of your quilt projects!
Every one of your quilts are so pretty! It's hard to pick out a favorite, and I'm amazed at how much you always get done.
Handsome Owen!
Wow…you are quite a prolific quilter!! Of course I just love everything!!!
Thanks for taking the time to shout out to me!!
These are so beautiful! Makes me want to get back into quilting.
