Pink and White crib quilt with mini

Hi all,

Here is a quilt that I originally was going to put the small stars all around. At one point, I got so tired of piecing them, I quit. I was going to eliminate them all together and just add a border, but started playing around with what I had and came up with this layout. There is so much wide open space that I decided to play around with some quilting. Here's what I came up with.



I really got quilty with it, it was a lot of fun. Now for the mini.



I had to keep the quilting much simpler due to its size, but I like how it turned out.

Hope you enjoyed the pics.

Happy quilting

12 Days of Christmas

I know, I know, it's way past Christmas, but let me explain. First, I wanted to wait until my customer Kathy showed off her quilt. Then, I purchased a new phone. When I went to post this topic, I found that some of my pics stayed in my old phone. I tried to get them out but alas, I am electronically challenged. So, I finally got back to the phone store and my pics are safe and sound and accessible. After all that, here it is.

I used Superior So-Fine thread, Quilters Dream Batting-Blend with a half thickness of Wool.  Thanks so much for looking. 

Happy Quilting, K

Almost Finished!

First I'd like to begin by wishing each and everyone a very Happy New Year! I hope it is the best one ever.

I guess I just have to tell someone how excited I am. I started a quilt in June of 2012. It is a Flashing Minnows pattern and one that was on my bucket list. Originally, I wanted to make it in red and white. Then, someone I know was getting married in August of 2012, and I thought I would make it for them. Not knowing there bedroom colors, I decided to make it in blue and white as blue and white always seems to me to be wedding colors. The quilt is 100"x100" and heirloom quilted. I can't believe I thought I could get it done in 2 months! Here is a pic of where it all started.

 

I have 9 more star blocks left to quilt plus 1 diamond block that somehow got by me. The quilting has taken me what seems like forever! Check back soon for the unveiling. I will be so excited to have this quilt finished.

 

Happy Quilting

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
