Owl sampler

What a week this has been.  After finishing the “all squares baby quilt”, I went to Bernina to fetch the bobbin winder they ordered, and with a handy hubby, it was fitted in a jiffy.  As I stopped at the shop, I had a call from a new quilter from Bothaville who saw my work at another quilter and asked if I’d quilt for her as well.  I said yes, and she then said they would be in Bloemfontein the next day, which they were, but I only expected one quilt; I was pleasantly surprised to see she brought 3!

It's not that three quilts are all that strange, but by then, I knew I was also expecting quilts from three other ladies from out of town, and when their quilts arrived, they had four in total.

A local quilter warned me she’d finish a quilt for a friend on Thursday, which she also did and just before she came, another local quilter brought another quilt.  To say it lightly, I was somewhat overwhelmed….. actually still am.  Most of these are custom quilting, and what makes it harder is that 3 of the quilts used the same pattern as one I did a while ago.  Guess I’ll have to come up with different ideas for every quilt.

Decided I can only do my best when I can, and tackled this, the first quilt.  Surely the name is not Owl sampler, but the owl caught my attention when I opened it up, so I simply named it.
