So, the parents came and I didn't get quilting done today, but I did get a quilt finished last night. Here it is for your viewing pleasure....
This quilt is called "All Dressed Up" and the design is by Nanette of Freda's Hive. Nedra of Cactus Needle pieced it and she did a beautiful job. I have yet to tell her it's finished because I was distracted by my parents showing up, sorry!
This is another one of the quilts I will have a hard time giving up. So much goes into quilting and a little bit of love with each one. I have yet to quilt one of my quilts like this, but one is in the works and I can't wait to share. But I have to get a few more quilts done first!
It was fun bringing each dress to life, this is such a fun design. I filled in the background with some circle pebbling. I love it!
I loved the back on this one just as much as the front.
So, there you go! Another quilt finished, two more this week I hope! Crossing my fingers! Oh, I need a few more names submitted for my Green Fairy, it's not that I don't like the names given, but it's like naming one of our kids - Clint and I don't agree on anything. I am sure I will end up just choosing the name myself, but I just need a few more to chose from! More than one suggestion is more than welcome! Thanks for all the help!

Your quilting takes my breath away! It is stunning!!
Hi, I'm Alison and we actually met at the fabric center last week, We didn't formaly meet, but I heard eveyone raving about your quilting and I asked what you bolg name was. Any way I just have to tell you how beautiful your quilts are. I'm so jealous not only of your skill but just the fact that you have a quilt machine. Your patterns are beautiful also. I don't know how you find the time to do it all. I can't wait to see more.
I'm running over! (But I'll call first). It's wonderful!! And I can hardly wait to see it in real life.
I have never seen anyone quilt as beautiful as you do. You have such amazing talent. Do you quilt for people through the mail?
I think I remember seeing this pattern on Nanette's blog...the quilting is amazing!
What a nice surprise from Grandpa and Grandma, and your quilting is exquisite!
great job as usual Judy - I will have to look at Nedra's blog later in the week or next to see a photo of the whole quilt.

Judy,
I have been a follower of your blog for awilw now and alwasy drool over the photos of your quilting. It is absolutely exquisite. Would you share your journey of how came to be a master quilter? Is there any hope the rest of us can ever get anywhere near your level of excellence in quilting? Would you share what machine you use and any tips that you have found to be helpful? Polly
What about Gwendolyn? Anyway, I stopped by to drool over this gorgeous quilt. It certainly is a masterpiece! Cindy
WOW your quilting is fabulous! The quilt is beautiful, but I'm just in awe over your quilting.
Wow - that is absolutely fabulous! What talent!
gorgeous, gorgeous quilting.
Judi, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable how fun- love the dresses and how they pop! We are so lucky to know you! Look at your green fairy commune :).
Beautiful! :-)
Just had to comment that it's amazing. I've never seen such beautiful quilting.
Judi, I SOOOO LOVE your quilting!!! I am Green with envy at your quilting skills!!! ALL of your quilts (yours & those that you do for others) are always SO beautifully quilted! You put SO MUCH of yourself into EACH and EVERY quilt. It's unbelievable!!!
Okay, for the faerie, I keep thinking something like
Flora Emerald (or Esmeralda)
SkyAnne
Reynn (sounds like Rain)
Misty
... that's about all I can come up with at the moment. Sorry.
=-)
Your quilting is so awesome. You very creatively add to the beauty of the quilt. You are very talented.
The quilting really makes it "all dressed up" too! Beautiful job!! Jenn
Very pretty...another quilt brought to life. :-)
Judi, your work is abssolutely beautiful!! Glad you had a fun time with your parents....what a fun surprise. I hope my kids will feel that way when I come to visit...would love some grandkids..
I love seeing each of the quilts you do -- I look forward to seeing each one! You do such beautiful work. :)
Such beautiful quilting on that darling pattern. You should be very proud!
Your quilting is amazing! It really makes a beautiful quilt even better!
Amazing! It is very beautiful.
like everyone else who's commented before me... WOW. I've never seen any other quilter put as much stitching into a quilt than you do. it's amazing. I only wish I could afford to hire you for my "sea green" & dark brown Crayola Quilt Challenge that I'm working on b/c the quilt is just screaming for something special in it... as the pattern is pretty boring. But since it's a charity raffle for the Ronald McDonald house - I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for quilting.. ;)
Keep up the great work - and thanks for sharing photos for us to drool over! ;) Love from Texas! ~bonnie
The quilting is just beautiful! Hugs Ullis in Sweden
Beautiful job on the quilting! I was just telling a friend about your charity the other day and had her watch the video... maybe your fairy should be named Romania or Pitesti... that would tie in your business and the charity together. Just a thought!

Your quilting is stunningly beautiful and I like how you popped those dresses up with your dense quilting. I love this quilt, great design, great fabrics and the quilting, it all came together beautifully. Thanks for sharing your lovely work.
Your quilting continues to amaze me! You are so talented Judi! Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely brilliant and mesmerizing. What a great job! It's a job to see your work and a real source of encouragement for a beginning machine quilter.
Your quilting is unbelievable...thank you for posting images...you bring such life to quilts. Beautiful!!!
Your quilting skills are amazing. Thank you for sharing pictures. They are so inspiring.
Names: How about Verdigris or Patina or Filigree.
WOW! That is gorgeous! Great job. I love the back, too! Thanks so much for sharing your work.

. . . more name ideas:
Fern or Willow or Ambrosia or Anemone.
Dorothea. It's a family name three generations back. The lace and hair just says pick something vintage and beautiful.
Hy, I'm from Canary Island, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. So like the others, I love your way to quilt. Do you have any treat to get them? I hope I could get someday your quilting level, you are an example.
Hi Judi, I thought of the name Bridget when I looked at your doll. I didn't read all the other comments. Someone else may have mentioned that name.Or what about calling her "Inspiration"?
I love your quilting. You do a beautiful job. Blessings, Karen
It's gorgeous! I love the way you quilted the dresses differently!
Your quilting is indeed a work of art! I am amazed!
Micki

Your quilting is amazing! I'm not usually a quilting fan since I like piecing so much more but this totally makes the quilt.
your work is absolutely stunning. Came here via 'Karen's Quilting' will definitely be back again.
