Pretty in Pastels

I just love this pretty buttery pastel collection of fabrics. The simple piecing shows off the fabrics so well. The quilting design on Kelly’s quilt is Floral by TKQ. The backing is a white Minkie fabric, Hobbs 80/20 batting with teal thread.  Enjoy this spring treat!

Finished up today are Lori’s quilts. I posted a sneak peek yesterday but here are some better photos of her quilts.

I’m also trying to match up some fabric to projects.  I really need to take care of the ‘what the heck was I going to make with that?” pile. Now if I could just remember….

Weekend Away

I was out of town this weekend visiting my daughter in Illinois. I don’t get to see her often enough. We thought it was going to be a warm weekend when I first made arrangements but it turned out to be cold & wet stay in our trailer. Its hard to live so far apart, although I know this is the new norm for many families.

I’m back home now & back to work on the quilts I have in house. I’m working on Lori B’s quilts. The pink quilt has an uneven chevron design for quilting & the blue quilt has Ginger Spring design by Apricot Moon. Both quilts have Hobbs 80/20 batting.

More gift quilts

Here are a few more gifts I’ve quilted for others that I’ll just use some alternate names for a little fun today.

All of the following quilts are made by Dolly Madison. She is an avid quilter.  The quilting design on the quilt is Ginger Snap by Apricot Moon. The batting is Warm & Natural, quilted with a white thread.

This log cabin throw is quilted with a design by Lorien Quilting called Espalier. The thread is a silver purple and the batting is Warm and Natural. The backing fabric is a silver but the color didn’t photo true.

The design quilted on this baby quilt is a 1,2,3 meander. The crazy cat print fabric made me laugh. It’s pretty cute!

Gift Quilts

I’ve been working on some quilts that will be given as gifts so I’m posting the names of the quilting designs but the names of the piecers have been changed to protect the innocent.

Margaret Thatcher’s cute Wonky Log cabin has some pinwheel and star quilt blocks thrown in. The quilting design is called Dainty by Hermione Agee. The batting is Warm & Natural with Teal thread.

Bill Clinton’s quilt looks a lot like Hillary’s above, yes, his and her’s quilts!  It has a different quilting design,more masculine called Window Panes by Kristin Hoftyzer. The batting is Warm and Natural and the thread is a charcoal grey.

Stay warm & quilt on!

Earthy Frames Quilt

This is a really cool quilt by Bonnie from the Kaffe Fassett book Quilts in the Sun. Unknown

The center squares are prints by Kaffe Fassett. The surrounding fabric is called Shot Cotton. Its a combination of two color threads. I took a close up photo below to show the detail of the weave. Its a very pretty fabric & very soft. The quilt back is pieced with solid and print.  Enjoy the photos!
