Hey Folks,

I think it is high time for another quilt. This is a customer quilt. I did a Baptist fan in monofilament thread, as I was going for texture only. My inspiration for the fans came from the gold area at the bottom of the fabric. This is the 1st time I've done Baptist fans. I used my circle templates which worked out just fine but was terribly time consuming. Before I finished the quilt, I ordered a new gadget to make them a lot easier for future projects. I haven't tried it yet but it has to be easier then using the circles. Enough said, here are some pics.

Hope your enjoying your holiday weekend.

Pink and Grey Basket Quilt

Hey quilt lovers,

This is a quilt I made this winter and still haven't finished binding yet! The handles are appliqued. The directions said to cut on the bias and bend around but there was no way they were going to lay flat. I ended up using the freezer paper method and found it much better. I used Quilters Dream Wool batting and Superior So-Fine thread.

Hope you enjoyed the pics.

Happy Quilting,

Blue and White Flashing Minnows Quilt

Hi Everyone,

Here it is, finally finished! Wow, this quilt was in the making for quite a long time. I started it in June of 2010. It was to be a wedding present for a August 2010 wedding, LOL. What was I thinking. Granted, when I realized it was not going to be in time, I only worked on it on and off. But still, my sense of time is seriously off.

Anyway, this is a pattern I've wanted to make for quite some time. My original thought was red and white but when I think of a wedding quilt, unless I know the people's colors, I always think blue and white. I tried to quilt the quilt according to the name of the quilt. The feather wreaths are in a swirl, like a beautiful piece of seaweed floating in the water with echoing around it like ripples. The diamonds are crosshatched like a net and the blue stars are done with pebbles or as I began to refer to them, bubbles. There were days when I couldn't face another star. They seemed to take forever. I made myself finish the stars over the holidays. I was determined not to unload the quilt until it was finished. It was awesome to get it done.

I used Quilters Dream Batting and Superior's So-Fine and Bottom Line Thread in blue and white, and it measures 94x97.

Enough talking, here's the quilt.








And last but certainly not least, here is a mini.



Thanks for looking and happy quilting.

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
