Sampler

Judy did these blocks of the month at a local quilt shop.  The Signature Copenhagen Blue thread blended well with the colors in the quilt.  Interlocking Surf's Up was a great pantograph for this quilt.

Laurel Burch

Bonnie made this bright little quilt from Laurel Burch Fabric, centering the different wild things.  All it needed was some Windy Meandering in black to give it contours.

Greens

Lynn tells me that she has an orange wall that needs cooling with this green leafy quilt. She selected interlocking Falling Leaves because of all the green.

Carol's Beauty

A friend and i are finishing this quilt for another friend.  Carol pieced this when she was stronger and now she will see it finished without the hassle of dragging it through her machine.  Chantilly Lace makes it elegant.

Bonnie_Dresden_closeup.jpg (47586 bytes)   Bonnie_Dresden_back.jpg (49262 bytes)

Dresden Plate

Bonnie  made this modern Dresden Plate.  The custom quilting features different stitches in each plate and meandering to help the plates stand out.  The modern black and white background gives it a real kick!

Bonnie_Kimono.jpg (49940 bytes)

Kimono

Everyone loved the kimono quilt when they came into the shop.  Bonnie made it from a kit purchased at a local quilt shop.  The gold in the fabric makes it very rich.  The custom quilting to outline the fabric and the lines of the quilt make it an outstanding project.

A Blustery Trip

Bonnie made this trip around the world quilt in a class.  We used Blustery Day, a pantograph  by Nichole Webb , and Superior Rainbow Trilobal thread.

Gerry_9patch.jpg (47560 bytes)

Gerry_9patch_closeup.jpg (47837 bytes)   Gerry_9patch_back.jpg (33473 bytes)

Gerry's First Big Quilt

Gerry did a beautiful job with this quilt.  She brought her teacher for me to meet.  We used Baroque Hearts so the symmetry of the piecing and the quilting would continue throughout the whole quilt.

Grandson's Quilt

Mary made this quilt for her grandson.  Windy Meandering will make it last well with the stitching close together.  The turquoise thread picks up that color in the fabric.  He'll like the stripe down the back.

Mary_MaroonTrip.jpg (48115 bytes)

Mary_MaroonTrip_closeup.jpg (48275 bytes)  Mary_MaroonTrip_back.jpg (48277 bytes)

Whose Quilt Is It?

Mary made this quilt for herself but a family member liked it, so when Mary got a smaller bed, she gave the quilt away.  It will live in a New England home.  The colors are delightful and both front and back have great interest.

Ruth_Pastels.jpg (49703 bytes)

Ruth_Pastels_closeup.jpg (47723 bytes)   Ruth_Pastels_back.jpg (44542 bytes)

Pastels

The Signature Pastel variegated thread matches this fabric exactly and adds sparkle to the circles.   Mary made this half the size of another quilt and decided the curved seams were a bit difficult in this size.

Bonnie_daglo.jpg (49020 bytes)

Bonnie_daglo_closeup.jpg (47499 bytes)   Bonnie_daglo_back.jpg (46831 bytes)

Zesty Pineapple

Da-glo green thread added a bit more zest to Bonnie's pineapple quilt.  We used Chantilly Lace insets to make the shapes stand out and feature the cats in the middle.

Kris_flannel.jpg (42408 bytes)

Kris_flannel_closeup.jpg (42396 bytes)   Kris_flannel_back.jpg (49282 bytes)

Leafy Trip

Kris is the teacher for all of the Trip Around the World quilts featured here.  We used Interlocking Falling Leaves on this cuddly flannel quilt.

Joyce_treefarm_closeup.jpg (49099 bytes)   Joyce_treefarm_back.jpg (47647 bytes)

Tree Farm

This is Joyce's second quilt from this Thimbleberries flannel fabric.  She gives them as gifts.  The custom quilting emphasizes the contours in the center panel and is fun to do.

Joyce_Princess.jpg (49635 bytes)

Joyce_Princess_closeup.jpg (48323 bytes)   Joyce_Princess_back.jpg (46942 bytes)

Princess

Joyce's grand daughter gets her own room and her own big girl bed for this princess quilt.  Every 4-year old girl loves pink and purple and princesses.  Even the backing fabric has princesses.  Simply Clematis fills the background and the outline stitching makes the center panel pop out.

Kris_Flutter_closeup2.jpg (48060 bytes)   Kris_Flutter_back.jpg (48037 bytes)

Dana's Quilt

Kris made this Carpenter's Star for her daughter.  The batiks have butterflies, so Dana's requirements were orange thread and butterflies.  This very dense Flutterby panto is lovely.  Kris teaches the construction of this quilt at a local quilt shop.

Kris_Chrissy.jpg (48603 bytes)

Kris_Chrissy_closeup.jpg (47357 bytes)  Kris_Chrissy_back.jpg (46804 bytes)

Color Bridge

Kris teaches this quilt, too.  This is the second one she has had quilted.  We used Chrissy, a dense pantograph by Jody Bemish at Willow Leaf Studio.  The Copenhagen Blue thread blended well with the colors in the batik fabrics.

Table Runners

Jo Lee got a chance to try out a new pantograph and some special fabric for table runners.  The panto is El Passo.  Its simplicity makes this southwestern table runners real beauties.
