Churches for JOY Sampler

These are part of the churches row for my JOY sampler from Fons and Porter.  I decided to do a row a month.  They are rather time consuming , so it made sense to me to break it down that way.  I may have it done by Christmas that way!!!  There are 5 churches in the row.  

I made some other quilts for Project Linus these last couple of weeks, too, but will show them after they are quilted.  Had a little trouble with the Handiquilter, so it went to the hospital for a couple of days.  It's coming back tonight, I hope all fixed and ready to go.  I have quite a big pile for Maynard to work on while we are in between customers right now.  It will keep him in practice!  

Windy and warm here today and maybe some rain on the way.  That would be good, as long as there are no storms.

Two from Barb for Project Linus

Barb gave me 2 tops for Project Linus and I got them quilted and bound, ready to go.  The top one I called "Hearts Aglow," and the bottom one is "Squares in Squares.  This was so generous of her.  Thanks, Barb!

Some of her tops (yes, there are more!!!!)   hubby will quilt on the big machine when it gets set up.  Just a sly way of telling you that we are getting a Handi-Quilter Pro-Stitcher Fusion 24 Quilting Machine .  This is the one with the computer and all the bells and whistles.  We are starting a small business of computerized machine quilting.  My hubby will be the one doing the quilting.  He has been quilting for quite a while now and has made some quilts, too.  He is an engineer, so the computer part is very exciting for him.  Start up date will probably be January 1, 2013.  We are very excited and hope to get our machine at the Houston show.  We will work with Quilt Mercantile, Celeste as our dealer.  It's very exciting and a little scary all at the same time!!!
