Quilt history/finished table runners

I finished my table runners this morning and I'm loving the spring look.
Julie
has started to organize a modern quilt guild here in Philly and it looks like it will be at a time I can actually go! Yay! I'm so excited to meet some quilters in the area. I started a new blog roll for everyone who is signed up and has a blog.

Ok so get ready for a whole lot of pictures. At Ann's request, I'm going to post my quilt history. (Like I really need a reason to post pictures of quilts! hehe)

So here it goes in chronological order. I hadn't realized how many baby quilts I've made!

The quilts of 2006: Get ready for some wavy quilting.
I started quilting in 2006 when I finished graduate school. It all started with a class "quilting for dummies".
Then came Christmas Snowmen:

The quilts of 2007:
Quilt Sampler (my first foray into hand quilting):
Star Wheel:

Matching NFL quilts for my hubby and brother:
Lets Go Fly a Kite:
Peas in a Pod:
Diamonds for Memom (my grandmother in law):
Quilt for my aunt and uncle (never got around to naming this one):
The quilts of 2008:
Paisley and polka dots (twins):
Kaliedoscope (my first mega hand quilting project- 1" grid, then 1/4" around each piece in the border):

Star spangled banner and some coffee too: (backed with coffee fabric for my best friend):
Birds in the Air for my mother-in-law:
Puppy Love:
Sweet Pea:

The quilts of 2009:

Spring Fling- my first bed sized quilt:
Two little kittens:
Dots Nice (minkee back):

And last but not least- you saw it already. Vertigo for my mom:
Phew!

Works in progress:
French General bed quilt- I still need to order border, binding and backing fabric. Then I can get that off to the quilter.

Fireside chat: Yeah, I haven't really done much hand quilting these days. I think I've done about 9 of 42 blocks.
