Star Wall Hanging

Hi All,

I have been quilting quite a few wall hangings lately. All are very different, but all were a lot of fun. I'm starting with this one simply because I can access the pics. The others are stuck on my old phone. So, when I get them switched around, I will post them also.

For this quilt I used Quilter's Dream Blend and 1/2 thickness Wool and Superior's So-Fine threads.

Here's a pic of my design process. I place a piece of plexiglass over the quilt and draw my designs with a marker. When I'm happy with the design, I go for it.

Here's the completed quilt.

Hope you enjoyed the pics. God Bless and have an awesome New Year.  K

Hi Quilters,

I hope this post finds you all at peace and on schedule this holiday season.
Sometimes, often times, simple is better. That is how I feel about this quilting design. All it is, is e's and l's. Very simple,very effective, and a lot of fun to quilt.  I really like this one and hope you do too. K

Red and Grey Flannel Quilt

Hi Everyone,

In checking my photos to post, I realized I have to do much better at picture taking. I somehow missed taking a  photo of the whole quilt.  Here's what I have. This quilt is so soft and cozy and I just love the colors.  I will try to do much better in the future. K

All God's Creatures

Here is a quilt I recently did. I found the blocks at an estate sale some years ago along with the book but decided to use what was already done and call it a wall hanging. I was short 1 block, so I improvised and quilted a couple of dragonflies in the middle block. I used the sashing and thicker border to simulate a window. I had alot of fun quilting it. Hope you like.

Becky's Drunkard's Path wall hanging

Hey Everyone,
     I think there are certain patterns, as well as colors that we gravitate to. I for 1 love the Drunkard's Path pattern. Becky has chosen to do a modern placement with beautiful, rich colored batiks. She also did a great job on the curves.
     If you haven't tried curved piecing yet, give it a try. You may find it's not as hard as you think. Enjoy the pics. K

 

 

 

 

Quilted Pillow

Hey Quilters,
     This is the pillow that goes with the 1000 Pyramids quilt. It wasn't my plan to follow the quilt with the pillow, it just happened. I guess it's all in the timing. I had put this pillow top together in December but kind of got busy and forgot about it until recently. I pieced it using scraps leftover from the quilt. The border is my favorite fabric at the moment. I just love it. Anyway, it was supposed to be a simple pillow, sew front to back, done. Then, I got this idea to put a strip around the middle. Here's how it came out.

Hello and Welcome,

As this is my 1st blog post, I was putting way too much thought into how I would start and what I would say. Finally, I had a lightbulb moment and was struck by the obvious----begin with the quilt I used for my blog header. I've know for some time that when I had a web presence I wanted the color orange, and this 1000 Pyramids quilt fit the bill.

I made this quilt for my granddaughter, who mentioned some years ago, that she loved orange. In January of 2012, I started shopping for light and dark fat quarters that contained orange. That was the prerequisite, they had to contain orange. I gave myself 1 year as it was a sweet sixteen birthday gift and she was born on Christmas. When it came to putting it together, I put all my pyramids in a basket and picked without looking. This was tough but I stuck to it. The quilting I decided upon is an edge to edge design called "Fantasia". I'm very happy with the results and more importantly, she is too. I hope you enjoy the pics and will stop back in to see what's next. K
