Pauline's Gift

Pauline made this for a great niece. She had an unexpected challenge finding fabric to match the fairy fabric.


Linda's Quilts

I DID quilt in December - just didn't post any photos. Linda made this interesting tesselation. She wanted "Amish" quilting.
We chose feathers - but these are as untraditional as the fabrics in the body of the quilt.

Linda started hand quilting this Bear's Paw many, many years ago. She wanted it done for a Christmas gift this year.

So I loaded it up and custom quilted flowers and leafy vines. It is finally covering a bed.

Robyn's Quilts

Isn't this quilt a beauty?
It is quilted with "Abundant Feathers".

Robyn is a great piecer. She chose several feather quilting patterns for this quilt.




JoAnne's Quilt

JoAnne made this for her son-in-law who works in the aviation industry.
The pantograph is "Popcorn". The backing is luscious dark blue Minkee.

Laurel's Baseball Quilt

Laurel made this for her brother-in-law.
The body is quilted with a fun baseball pantograph. The border says "Go Cubs Go"
and has baseball players in action.


Connie's Gift

Connie made this beauty for a granddaughter.
She has a pet name for each grandchild. This one is "Buttercup". It is hard to see, but there are gold flowers in the brown border.

I also quilted some hidden horses, bears, and hearts in the blocks.


Kathy's Red and Black

This is another bee pass around project. The seams in every block are the same.
It is the color and value placement that make them look so different.




Schley's Quilts

This pattern is called "Facetted Jewels". There are only 2 fabrics in the center. It looks like more because of the color changes in the dark batik.
The center is quilted with the "Blowing in the Wind" pantograph.

This is make to look like set-in tiles.
Getting that border to come out so nicely took skill!



Diana's Quilts

Diana made this Strips and Curves quilt at a retreat this fall.
It represents the harvest moon has symbols of Autumn bounty.


A shot of the back so you can see the quilting.
This quilt is the result of a pass around project.

The stars are quilted with metalic thread.







Candy's Gift

Candy also makes many quilts for friends and family. Aren't the colors of this one soothing?
It is quilted with a Gingko Leaf pantograph.
