Oline's Garden

This is the fourth sister's rose quilt.  She planted her garden a bit differently for a lovely effect.    Her roses are all the same fabric in each blossom.  The quilting and then washing this quilt will make them really bloom.

Larry's Niece

Our special friend Larry brought this from his niece in California.  She was going to hand quilt this UFO to focus on the center.  We  used Chantilly Lace and then custom work on the center to make it special.

Kathy's Beauty

Kathy has a great combination of fabrics here.  The photos don't do it justice!  We used Windy Meandering to add contours to the quilt without drawing attention away from her beautiful points and intersectios.

Kid Quilt

Judy did a great job with the quilt for a young person in her life.  The bright colors and space fabric just cried out for "Stars and Loops" done in primary variegated thread.  I know he will love his quilt.

Baseball

This baseball quilt is perfect for a young fan.  Bonnie went all the way with sports fabric and appliquéd baseballs.  We used a pantograph with baseballs, hats, and mitts to complete the idea.

Home Town Christmas

This great Christmas quilt went to auction to make money for Liz's grandson's school.  I'm sure it earned a grand sum!  Her work is outstanding and the gold "Stars and Loops" just added to the Christmas feeling.  Quilted Quail Made a label and it was attached before the quilting for safekeeping.

Welcome to the Family

Jacque made this lovely quilt to welcome a future daughter-in-law to the family.  Her son was proposing and Jacque wanted it to be a special time for everyone.  I know the young bride said, "Yes!"

Christmas Table Runner

Eleanor fashioned this lovely table runner with beautiful fabric and a few appliquéd stars.  It will make her holiday table beautiful and exciting no matter which side she uses.

String Quilt

Eleanor used muslin backing on her string pieced blocks and heavier flowered fabric for the borders and backing.  This is a nice firm quilt.  The "Rambler Rose" quilting pantograph completes the rose theme in the fabric.

Bright and Lovely

Linda combined 9-patches and lovely bright fabrics for this great quilt.  Everyone who came in the shop was attracted to it.  Windy Meandering in dill-colored thread  gave it contours but the piecing bloomed on its own.

Linda_leaf.jpg (49700 bytes)

Linda_leaf_closeup.jpg (47183 bytes)   Linda_leaf_back.jpg (48870 bytes)

Fall Colors

"Interlocking Falling Leaves" is a good pantograph to bring out the fall feeling in Linda's quilt.   The leafy fabric has lovely leaves that gave us the idea. The Mother Goose thread blends in so the piecing stands out as well.

Baby is on the Way

Alexandra needed help with preparing her quilt for quilting.  She is following the tradition of making a quilt for each new baby in her family.  Quilted Quail basted it so she could work.  I hope he drags it everywhere for years and years!!

Pat's Reversible Quilt

Pat is such a joy to work with all the way from North Carolina.  We share many, many e-mails as we decide on how to do her quilts.  This one is patterned from "Quilting Makes the Quilt" by Lee Cleland, but it turned out better than we planned  Maybe it is a wholecloth quilt that magically has piecing on the back??!!

Spiderman

Susan pieced this Spiderman quilt for a special young man.  What else would you find on a Spiderman quilt than spider webs?  

Does your quilt belong here??

Did you see the Katrina/Rita quilts?  We quilted 11 for the comfort of others.
