Tim Holtz, Edyta Sitar and Tula Pink fabric quilts

This is Martha’s Tim Holtz quilt. The quilting design is Country Cousins, the batting is Hobbs 80/20, and blue/grey thread. The Tula Pink wide backing is a sateen and have a lovely sheen. Tim Holtz fabrics are really striking. I wish my camera phone took better photos.

This quilt is from a Jelly Roll of fabrics by Edyta Sitar. The quilting design is Dancing Vines (an Ann Bright design), batting is Hobbs 80/20, an the thread is a copper/bronze.  Pretty!  I also have this Jelly Roll. I can’t wait to make something with it.

A Sneak Peak

Take a peek at Martha’s Tim Holtz quilt.  I finished this late last night so I’ll get better pics when I can unload it today. The fabrics are great but very prints so it’s hard to see the quilting over the prints. The Dancing Vine can be seen on the Tula Pink backing.

Linda C’s Cuppa Quilt

This is another Cuppa Sue Spargo quilt by Linda C. I’m custom quilting a few of these for the Block of the Month group I’m participating in. The stitching details are amazing. They have a cotton print back and wool batting. Most of the quilting is outlining and fill work in the background. There is so much time wrapped up in these, they are a wonderful piece to own.

Fall Barn Panel Quilt

Jo M made this pretty Fall Panel quilt. I love how she framed the center panel. The quilting design is Maple Canopy by Apricot Moon.  She chose a burnt orange thread and the batting is Hobbs 80/20.

 Sometimes it’s hard to see the quilting in photos so I’m sharing this snippet of the actual quilting design.

Braid Quilt

This is Maralee’s Braid Quilt. It’s pieced with slightly wider strips, a nice effect and shows more of the prints. The quilting design is called West Wind @ Night by Christy Dillon. The thread is Bronze and the batting is Polydown by Hobbs. Her backing is the same Blue as the front but photo’d a little darker.

I’ll share another of Maralee’s quilts but I need the fog to lift to get a better photo. Watch for  her Butterfly quilt.

Maryann’s Baby Quilt

I finished quilting one of MaryAnn’s quilts. Her baby quilt is batik with a quality Minky backing.  This is a new baby design by Ann Bright called Magic.  Its a very sweet baby quilt.

Note: I will only quilt Minky or Cuddle fabrics by Shannon fabrics. They are high quality and they only stretch in one direction.  Cuddle fabrics are challenging to load with the edges roll but some of the cheap products stretch in two directions & are just too much trouble to deal with in my opinion.  This Shannon brand are both nicer looking & easier to work with.

Quilts for Kids

This is Martha’s stripy quilt with bunny that she made for charity.  A simple loopy design with flower called Jasmine by Ann Bright. Its ready for some wear & tear.
