And it doesn't hurt that the members were so gracious and accepting of my crazy 3D work either. Love.That. Guild.
In the meantime, I have been keeping busy. I finished off a small piece heading to Quilt Market. I can't reveal it yet, but I think I am safe to show you the back.
See that little pink square in the corner? Here is a better look at it:
This is my quilt label! How cool is that. Well it is if you are super lazy like me. By the time I finish a quilt, I am done with it. And I have no patience to make a label and sew it on by hand. Doing the binding by hand is usually the last straw. So now all I do is heat up my iron and fuse this baby on to the back of my quilt. I then take out my Sharpie marker and put a title and year and I am done. A friend ordered me these from Etsy, but I am sure you can get them anywhere. If you have a few dozen lazy bones in your body like me, make sure to get the fusible labels.
Remember the Bestie QAL I am involved in? I finished another 'Swoon' block as well. I guess maybe I am not so lazy=) Oh who am I kidding, I never got a sleeve on my last quilt, but tied jumbo ric rac to it, to act as a hanger.

Love the Swoon block...I bought a Swoon kit from Connecting Threads. I hope to get started soon.
Congrats on your Market quilt! I really like your swoon block too.
Haha! Love it that you tied ric rac on a quilt for a hanger! Too funny. Love your label. I need to do that. I get about half of mine labeled and that's it. Where did your friend get these labels?
Love your Swoon blocks. You are clearly not lazy! ;-)
Love the quilting! Gotta get my little quilt done!
Thanks for reminding me to put a label on mine -- I would have forgotten.
And if you're lazy, then I'm a comatose quilter.
Lovely Swoon block! :)
Ah Jackie, we have a saying here: laziness is a form of intelligence :)
Ric rac as a hanger? Love the idea, so quick and fast and fun! Much better then the usual hanger thingie.
I like those labels...iron on is good...:)
I love labels! I heard from a experienced quilter that "a quilt isn't finished until there is a label on it". I've been making iron on ones for years. Love the Swoon block.
Your quilting is amazing!!! Can I send my mini to you to quilt for me (I'm too scared)!?! :)
Love your ric rac story and the Swoon block is to swoon over!
