The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, Better

The Good - It was only the five day long variety
The Bad - The influenza visited our home the day after Christmas

Bad - In this last week-plus, I followed up with bronchitis &
The Ugly - pneumonia - of the walking kind

More Good - Drugs have now been prescribed & taken
More Bad - pulled a muscle in the rib area coughing so hard

Good - I think the drugs are already kicking in
The Better - I think I feel like, maybe, getting back to stitching
**************************************************
Now that I've gotten the Good/Bad/Ugly out of the way,
how about a few pictures of customer quilts
(from the end of last year) that I got to meander over?
I don't think I've shown these, anyway.
 
I made this quilt for a couple who are really good friends of mine...
they both worked for Ohio State; they attended OSU,
as did their parents, children & D-I-Ls,
so I thought this was a fitting quilt -
Vintage OSU for some vintage friends :)
'Vintage OSU' for my Vintage OSU friends.
Quilted with my Sashiko machine.

The following quilts were all for customers -  
made as surprise gift quilts and I couldn't share earlier...
now I'm forgetting who made which quilt - sorry!

This was a great, graphic-looking one
(with cool fabrics that I wish I had in my stash!) :

A cute baby quilt:
and a block close-up:
A very nice Jelly Roll Race style quilt:
I think that this Jelly Roll race was Joell's, except she ALWAYS makes gigant-0 quilts, and this wasn't, it was closer to a double size.  So, I could be wrong. And, I'm thinking she put together her own set of strips to make it.  But again, I could be wrong.  It has been about a month since I quilted it :)

Finally, there were two of these Dino quilts:
So pretend you are seeing double!
And I know these were Janet's work -
1: she has twin nephews & 2: they were meticulously pieced,
and that's exactly Janet:).

I'll be back in a bit
with a couple more pictures of quilts
that I actually got made and gifted.

Well, don't take "bit" too seriously...
it all depends on when the drugs kick in fully
and I'm back to better than better! :)

Happy Stitching!
