In a New York State of Mind

I am proud to show you both of these finished quilts, which I blogged about previously in June at http://pugmomquilts.blogspot.com/2012/06/new-york-city-quilts.html

Romeo, left, and Larry try out Grandma's new quilt!

Here is a full view of my Mom's quilt.

I found some really cute theme fabric for the back of Mom's quilt!

Here is the second quilt that I made for my Uncle Stanley.

The back of Uncle Stanley's quilt has Hawaiian postcards!

I usually try to buy inexpensive fabric for quilt backs or piece them out of leftovers from the front, but these are special quilts for a significant birthday! I was tickled to find both Hawaii and Florida fabric at eQuilter, one of my favorite online quilt stores http://www.equilter.com/

I think there will be at least a third New York quilt in the series, since when I presented the tops to my Mom and my Uncle at their party, my sister-in-law Diane went NUTS for them and shyly asked for one of her own. SSShhh, don't tell her!

Mom--your quilt will be in the mail next week as soon as I sew the label on the back!

Here is my darling Elvis who missed the quilt photo shoot (above) and demanded that I include his photo!

Two blog posts in one day! Must go downstairs and pay some attention to my darling Hubby Mike!

Pugs and kisses to all,

Nancy
