My first commission!

Ok, I have to admit it is my second technically.  I made a baby quilt 9 years ago for $25.

I've come a LONG way baby!!  I just did a great quilt and made a wee bit more that $25.  It is a Yellow Brick Road pattern by Atkinson's Designs done with (mostly) Neutrals from Marcus Brothers.  I'm very proud of this and how it turned out and luckily so is the customer :)

I now can work on some things for myself this week, though I do have another commission project to finish by end of October (in time for christmas)

My dear friend Donna gave me lots of goodies yesterday when we met up for Starbucks...and I love my new clock for my sewing area:

She also gave me a few more things for the sewing area, I'll share those later.

It's back to work reality.  Just feels like it is going to be a long day!

  2. wow, toni, you are rolling. Your commission quilt is outstanding. I love the clock for the sewing room. I want to make one with a dresden plate design but I just cannot seem to get to it.
    I like the new pic of you and your hubby.
