Special Quilt

Debbie made this quilt either for her daughter's  18th birthday or the celebration of her adoption day in April.  This certainly shows a mother's love with all of the appliquéd hearts and the custom quilting to accentuate them.

Simply Americana

Mary will be ready for the 4th of July with this beauty.  The Simply Clematis pantograph gives it a a festive look with the navy thread accenting the fabric.

For a Special Helper

Nelda made this quilt with the dog sitter in mind.  She machine appliquéd the tea pots with doggie fabrics.  The Interlocking Falling Leaves pantograph showed the passing of time with this calendar quilt.

Love is in the Air

Baroque Hearts pantograph is the perfect choice for this hearts quilt.  Nelda combined two techniques to make this clever design.

Desert Applique

Nelda completed this Arlene Walsh design in lovely desert colors.  She did hand appliqué.  the custom quilting accentuated the appliqué.  The  southwestern border completed the feeling.

Sue's Chili Peppers

Sue made this Trip Around the World in a class at a local quilt store.  To jazz it up and make it more southwestern, we used chili peppers in red thread.

Liz_trip_closeup.jpg (47999 bytes)   Liz_trip_back.jpg (48077 bytes)

Trip around the World

Liz made a trip around the world in the same class (I think!).  We used dill thread and a large Chantilly Lace pantograph for a totally different look from Sue's (above).  the pieced back is very interesting.

Cara's Charity

Cara used her embroidery machine to make this baby quilt that she will give away.   The fat polyester batting makes it very cuddly.  We used an Anne Bright pattern that could be called "Baby Clouds" because baby animals are hidden in the cloud pattern.  Some sweet child will love this quilt!

T-shirt

Cara and her two girls have lots of t-shirts made into quilts.    They say that they watch TV, sleep, and generally live under the quilts.  Baroque Hearts seems to be a favorite pantograph to give a nice stability to a quilt with a very symmetrical look.

Feathered Friends

What could be better on Marjorie's bird house quilt than Feather Meandering?  The pieced the back makes this quilt cute both front and back..

Kay's First Appliqué

When Kay learns a new skill she makes something beautiful.  Her appliqué is wonderful and the quilt looks exactly like the pattern.  She will use this on her own bed and enjoy it daily.

Soft Flannel

Melinda made this soft quilt for a young relative.  For sure, he will cuddle and enjoy it!  the Stars and Loops pattern accents the log cabin stars.

Cara's Beauty

This modern quilt has a quaint feel about it with the retro fabric that her friend picked out.  Cara says these aren't her colors but she honored her friend's choice and made a lovely quilt.  Simply Clematis gives it s fresh springy feel.

Yellow Brick Road

Donna called this her ugly quilt when she brought it for quilting.  With the burgundy thread to match the border and the large Chantilly Lace, she really likes it now.

Janet_loops.jpg (48151 bytes)

Curved Seams

Janet does these curved seams beautifully.  We used an all-over loops to give the quilt some added curved lines.  She supplied the variegated thread in the colors she liked.

Liz_CarpentersSquare_closeup.jpg (48654 bytes)   Liz_CarpentersSquare_back2.jpg (49077 bytes)

Carpenter's Star

Liz collected batiks for a long time for this lovely Carpenter's Star.  We used a fat poly batting to give it depth.  the custom continuous curve in the star and the small meandering accomplish that look.

Donna_granddaughter_closeup.jpg (49585 bytes)   Donna_granddaughter_back.jpg (46353 bytes)

Donna's Granddaughter

Donna made this small quilt for her granddaughter.  We used small Chantilly Lace in begonia thread for it.  This great lizzard fabric on the back picks up all of the colors in the quilt.

Donna_grandson_closeup.jpg (48284 bytes)   Donna_grandson_back.jpg (49667 bytes)

Donna's Grandson

Donna made this quilt for her grandson.  It is a larger version of his sister's.  The larger Chantilly Lace in orange thread makes it the same only a bit different.

Desert Sights

Mary Constructed this quilt to show off a southwestern line of fabric.  It hangs in a local quilt shop.  The camel-colored thread nearly disappears fo the contours of the desert can pop out.  the quail marching around the borders give ti real character.  Desert-colored fabric with gold swirls makes the back very attractive.

Pat's Hope Chest

This pastel quilt with hearts will go into Patch hope chest until her grandchildren are born.   it has fat poly batting so it will be cuddly for the baby. Her only instructions from VA were that it had to have hearts in the border.  We did more than that.
