This is one of my quilts that has been in the closet waiting to be quilted for some time. This is from a friendship ring variation class I took at the Village Quilt shop some time ago. I chose Paisley Cypress by Ann Bright, a champaign color thread & Quilters Dream batting. Done is good!
Kay made this signature quilt for a young lady that is not well. She gathered the signatures and well wishes of her classmates to include in the quilt. She loves to sing so Kay chose “Notes” as the quilting design, the batting is Hobbs 80/20 & the thread is lime green. Kay also found this really cool backing fabric that goes really well with the quilt top. What a nice thoughtful gift.
This Barn quilt was beautifully pieced by Donna. It has been custom quilted with 4 shades of thread & Quilters Dream batting. This was such a lovely quilt to work on.
Did you know that Art Gallery Fabrics offer free patterns? Many of the fabric makers offer free patterns but I really like some I see at Art Gallery Fabrics. I just downloaded Mad Crossover.
The patterns are pdf download and just print off. Nice! I’m not affiliated, I just like their fabrics. http://liveartgalleryfabrics.com/free-quilting-patterns/
They also have Tutorials and other sewing patterns. How cute are these shoe laces?
So back to quilting. Its a icy foggy morning. The weatherman promises the sunshine will be coming soon, tomorrow. Until then, ice, rain, maybe thunder, odd January weather.
Enjoy your day.
Shirley made this pretty modern quilt. The quilting design is called Geometric B2B (Ann Bright), the thread is black & the batting is Hobbs Wool. Her backing could be another front. She placed some of the fabric from the front into the back to have a simpler design option when the quilt is flipped over. The wool really gives the quilting a lot of depth.
This is Connie’s 1,600 Quilt or also known as Jelly Roll Race Quilt. The quilting design is Autumn Oaks, thread color is a Jean Gold, and the batting is Quilters Dream Select. Her backing is a homespun check.
MaryAnn’s Baby quilt. There are some kitty’s hidden in the sashing. Can you find them? The quilting design is Bubble Meander, white thread, Minky backing & MaryAnn requested no batting.
The second of her quilts has vintage print kittys in the center squares. The quilting design is Dragon Flies, cream thread, Minky backing & no batting.
Happy New Year to all my clients & readers. My husband had a cold for Christmas and I have it now for the new year. There has been no partying at my house. I’ll be glad to get it over with and get back into the quilting groove like planned.
If you have a quilt that you want finished now is a great time to get it in for quilting. Give me a call to schedule appointments for next week and going forward. I’m trying to not share this cold with you if it can be avoided so I’m extending my time off a few more days.
I have some new things I will be trying this year. I’ve gotten some of my projects organized. I plan on sewing a little each day if possible. I’ll be sharing that as I go along. I have each project labeled and am using a free app called Wunderlist to keep track of where I am on each one. This idea was shared with the Prairie Quilt Militia that I joined. I’m getting some great new ideas from this nice group of quilters & I recommend it to anyone interested. You can search it on Facebook.
I’m also working on a Block of the Month online. I’m using some Tula Pink FQ’s and some mixed white on white fabrics. A new step is released every two weeks and you can see the steps I’ve finished so far. I have no idea what this will turn into. Stay tuned and I’ll share each step as it continues.
Wishing you a Happy 2017!
Pam made a cute tablecloth for the holidays. She used scraps from other projects & turned them into this cute scrappy quilt. It’s quilted with a snowflake design in white thread and a light weight Hobbs 80/20 batting. She also had a holiday panel that turned into a fast gift for the wall or table top. What a great way to use up left over fabrics.
Wishing everyone a very happy holiday!
