Quilted Quail was closed for two weeks in May.

Southwest Wall Hanging

Mary Lou made this cute wall hanging. To continue the southwestern theme, Quilted Quail used the El Passo pantograph and sand dunes thread.

Water World

Sue made this quilt for a helpful friend who has fish.  Windy Meandering and turquoise thread added to the look of water.

Springy Quilt

Sue hit the jackpot with this springy looking quilt.  We used Simply Clematis with white thread to keep it looking fresh and clean.

Sue's Beauty

Sue pieced this beauty.  We used Mother Goose colored thread to blend in easily with the colors.  Chrissy is a detailed pantograph that adds interest and texture to her work.

Christmas Tree Skirt

Connie is ready fro Christmas.  This square quilt with a star in the middle will become a Christmas tree skirt when the hole is cut in the middle.  All of the custom quilting was done in Camel thread and Christmas motifs.

Baskets

This quilt was made by the owner and employees at the Quilt Basket for a friend who is leaving~~baskets, of course.  She has never done an appliqué quilt for herself so this will be a prized possession.  Her friends will present this quilt to her at a luncheon in her honor in June.

Girly Quilt

Debbie is redoing her bedroom.  This girly quilt will have small heart buttons and ribbon bows on it when she is finished., so we just meandered.  Her room will truly be "girly."

Churn Dash

Mary wanted a simple red and white quilt.  This churn dash quilt featuring the plain red is simple and pretty.  The straight lines of the quilting really kept this simple.

Brights

Deborah had a great time with these circles and the bright fabric.  We kept the motion going with windy meandering in a bright variegated thread.  The pieced back is nearly as interesting as the front.

Mr. B

Lena appliquéd this cathedral window quilt (and taught classes in the past) and it now hanging in her new sewing store.  She does beautiful work!  We tried to make the background stitches different for each color and then give the animals some stones to walk on.  Crosshatching in the borders framed it.

Brooke's Beauty

Brooke laughs about finding this fabric in some exotic place and then not using it for a long time.  The color and fabric are lovely together.  the Mother Goose thread and the Windy Meandering (her new favorite) blend everything together well.

Bologna Sandwiches

Brooke's husband promised us bologna sandwiches if we get in trouble with this one.  So far so good!  Brooke had fun with this "Snail Trail" and so did we.  The  new Fleur-de-Lis pantograph looks great in the ecru thread.

Soldier Quilt

Each member of Colorful Quilters, or small quilting bee, made a block for this quilt.  We were given a piece of blue and a piece of background fabric.  You can see the variety of squares that resulted.  The quilt will go to a Veteran.

Quilt from a Friend

A friend donated this quilt top to the Colorful Quilters when she learned that we were doing charity quilts.  The dill thread blended in well with the batiks and the green background.  thank you, Bonnie!

Shop Sample

This batik beauty was made especially to hang in a local quilt shop.  The begonia thread matches the front and back and the "English Garden" panto really give it zing.
