This is Pat’s Quilt. The Quilting design is Bloomingdale B2B by Ann Bright. The batting is Hobbs 80/20 & the thread color is violet.

Kim’s Memory quilt for a special friend. She chose a large water meander with copper color thread & Hobbs 80/20 batting. There were some sequins, jewels and puff paint to go around so freehand meander was needed.  She put some piecework into the back, a nice addition to the quilt.

Yesterday I was sidelined with some vertigo so a quilting day off, then of course when storms hit I unplug so a spinning & rain delay of sorts.  Today is a new day so off to quilt!

Donna’s table runner is finished. I’m showing the back so you can see the outlining around the appliqué.  All it needs now is binding.

Today I’ve been working on Donna’s Coneflower table runner. I have most of the outlining finished & started on the wavy crosshatch. I got a late start on it today so I hope to finish up the rest tomorrow. Its very pretty & I like how its coming along.  The background is a mix of cottons  & the coneflowers are wool appliqué.

This is Martha’s Making Tracks quilt. The quilting design is Modern Waves, Quilters Dream batting 70/30 blend & dark green thread.

Happy 4th of July weekend!

Bonnie’s quilt with Ebb & Flow allover design by Lorien quilting. She chose white thread & white Hobbs 80/20 batting. What a pretty blue & white quilt!

This is one of Martha’s Geese in the Storm quilts. It is custom quilted to go around the folded flying geese. I used a matching thread & Hobbs 80/20 batting.

A flower design was placed in the background of the center block of geese and in the outer setting triangles. The rest of the geese were stippled in the background.

Here are some photos of Kathy’s recent quilts. The first is called Riptide. The quilting design is Popcorn by Jodi Beamish, copper thread & Fairfield 60/40 batting.

The second quilt is a fast stripy type quilt Picket Fence. Quilting design is called Big & Little by Karen Farnsworth, Hobbs 80/20 batting, White thread with a cute bubble print backing.

Enjoy the day!

This is a very bright and colorful quilt Maryann made for her bedroom. Its a really good sized bed quilt. I didn’t have room to lay it out so you get to see the center & some close ups of the front and back while its draped on my cutting table. The quilting design is Plain Paisley by Lorien Quilting. The batting is Warm & White & the thread is purple. She found a great backing that brings all the colors of the quilt together.

I am in a small sewing group which gets together once a month & we do show and tell, work on hand work, eat some snacks and share our thought about quilts we are working on. We are embarking on a new group project, a Round Robin.  Each of us will provide a center block and pass it around our group for each member to add to it in some way. It could be an border, appliqué, beading etc.  I just finished up my center block & will share.

I found this block in a book, The Practical Guide to Patchwork by Elizabeth Hartman. The quilt is called Little Leaves. I chose fabric by Zen Chic called Juggling Summer.  I won’t see this again until its finished & that might be a year from now. In the meanwhile, I will see everyone else at different stages of their development. I’ve been in two other round robins & had a lot of fun.
