It's done, yeah! I think I've worked on these wonderful little ladies for about a year and a half, so it's nice to get a long term project wrapped up. Also I used fabric that I had leftover from another quilt so that's a good thing. I still need to cobble together a back for this quilt, also out of left over ShangriLa fabric and it will go to my quilter next month.
Here's a picture of my totally completed pies from my Pies and Tarts quilt.
That's 31 out of 100 completely done and I have another 20 at least to applique to the background. I'm going to put these blocks together very soon so I can get some tarts appliqued on. I've added in several backgrounds from what I was sent because I wanted a little more variety. This is going to be such a cool quilt and I think I've got my camera all messed up again because the colors are really very vibrant.
Well I'm off to work. It's going to be a busy one because we have a town wide sale going on at the end of the week. Working in retail is just a barrel of fun don't ya know...lol
Have a great day!

wow Ranette, love the first quilt and those pies in progress, yummy
The embroidery projects do take a long time to complete. I don't know when I will ever get mine done.
I still love those Pie & tart blocks! Keep them coming.
I love quilts that combine embroidery and piecing....beautiful!

Thanks for sharing your work... all fabulous!

Woo hoo!!! Congrats on finished Truly Scrumptious! I am still just partway through stitching block 1, lol. Stitchery stuff takes SO long, I lost my patience.
The pies quilt looks awesome too. Makes me want to do one. Your blog is a bad influence for me!!!
Congrats on the top being finished. Love it and I love those pie and tarts. I have seen that on other blogs and I keep thinking I need to make one.
YAY for finished Cinderberry Girls....I have to finish embroidery on 1 and then do the border on 3 and I'm done too..I love your fabric choice.
How will you quilt it?

I love the Truly Scrumptious quilt!!! I haven't tried combining stitchery with quilting yet. How long did it take you to make? It looks like lots of hours went into it! I can't wait to watch your progress on the Pies and Tarts quilt. Sue Daley has some amazing designs. I took a class with her last year. She is a lovely lady too!!
Gorgeous quilts Ranette. Lovely to see TS together.
Everything is so lovely!!!
the quilt looks great........I have been tempted by this one......
Truly scrumptious will be in my UFO pile for a while, lovely to see the top done and the pies are going so well, they look great. I've put in some new backgrounds too.
Ranette, It is a beautiful quilt. I bet you are excited to be finished!!! Now you can start on the next one...Pamela
Your Truly Scrumptious top is gorgeous! I also have the pattern but haven't had time to start it yet. Now that I see yours it is very tempting again.....
Your embroidered ladies are gorgeous Ranette. Isn't it a wonderful feeling to use up some of the stash! I love that pies and tarts quilt, just beautiful xo
