Stars

Kay has made several bed toppers this size.  They are great decorator touches!  this one has stars and now very elegant quilting.  We used Chrissy and Sand Dunes thread to complete the lovely look.

April's BOM

April completed this block of the month  quilt at a local quilt shop.  Her appliqué is beautiful.  We used Mother Goose thread to outline the appliqué, fill in the blocks, and then a large hearts and loops motif in the patchwork blocks.

Rescue Quilt

A German Shepherd rescue group in California collected signatures of stars who agree with their mission.  Someone named Cissy drew the picture of the dog with crayons.  Quilted Quail assembled the quilt, pieced, and bound it.   The quilt will be used as a fund raiser.

Lasagna Quilt

Gerry saw a lasagna quilt made for a charity group and decided she could make one.  She had no other instructions.  It came out great!  We gave it a bit of a southwestern flavor with El Passo but in lilac thread that makes the back look as good as the front.

Mother's Quilt

Maxine had this quilt top that her mother had made years ago.  She decided to have it quilted and labeled so her mother could have a finished project to hand on.  It came out so well that Maxine has another one that she will bring.  On these custom quilts the back is as exciting as the front.

Pat Finished It

Pat said she didn't like this quilt when she was working on it and nearly didn't finish it.  It will go to a charity in VA.  Interlocking Surf's Up in bright red thread may have pepped it up a bit.  Some kid will love it!!

Hummingbirds

Miriam had someone machine appliqué four center blocks for her.  She added all of the colored fabric.  She showed it to an artist friend and now it will become the friend's gift.  We used turquoise thread and a lovely pattern called "Hummingbirds" that includes butterflies and flowers along with the hummingbirds.  the thread is a bit darker than the backing and it shows up beautifully.

Baskets

Debbie is giving these baskets to a friend.   It is a wall hanging.   It had an old-fashioned look along with the modern characters on the baskets and we quilted it to emphasize each one.   If you look carefully you see that each of the baskets has a seasonal theme as well.

Pineapples

Susie is entering this quilt in a VA quilt show.  She had Quilted Quail use bright variegated thread to quilt the inner area with Windy Meandering.  Now she will hand quilt the border to emphasize her very special appliqué.

Susie's Stars

Susie made this lovely batik quilt with all the stars as a wedding present.  We used wine-colored thread and Stars and Loops to make it a lovely gift.  I know the bride and groom will love it!

  Quilted Quail was closed for a while in February to allow Jo Lee to be a grandmother to her Pennsylvania family.
