Lots of photos… and boy do i mean lots!

OK, so i have not been keeping up my new years resolution to post about quilting once every week. But hopefully this will make up for the lack of updates!

First off are two quilts made by Georgia B. The first is a embroidery block quilt. i used a white thread to quilt a double ribbon on the borders and sashing and to outline the embroidery using most the pre-printed quilting lines on the blocks and improvising in a couple of spots. Next is a Calla Lilly wall quilt. Sorry there is no close up of this one, but the quilting did not show up on any of the photos. I use a matching green thread to quilt feathers in the outer area and a cream thread to quilt a small stipple around the applique.

Next are quilts made by Mary H. The first she calls this one Baby Hearts I use a white thread for the quilting that includes a lot of continuous curve quilting. The second is a Tennessee Waltz quilt.

Here are two quilts made by Martha S. I am not sure of the names of these patterns so i made some up, forgive me if they are wrong! First off is the Asian Squares, The quilting is very simple, using a cream thread I quilted a bamboo design on the border and simple X’s in the Squares The second one i call Asian Screen as it reminds me of a room divider screen! The quilting is again fairly simple Jist a spider web design and some X’s in the blocks along with a swirl border, all using Black thread.

Next is a green star made by Ann S. Quilted using a lot of Continuous Curves and a Variegated Green thread

Now we have a Jacob’s ladder quilt made by Theresa N. Lots of stitch in the ditch quilting as well as some feathers in the background using a white thread

Here is a Irish Chain quilt made by Sue G.

This quilt called First monday was made for a church raffle, lots of swirls quilted in white thread are quilting over this quilt.

Here are two embroidery quilts made by Norma S. Both were quilted using white thread. The Green quilt has some feathering and the deer quilt is more simply quilted with stipple and swirls

And last but not least are two quilts made by Gerry T. The first is a small Log Cabin wall hanging, quilted using cream thread, ruler work x’s cover the border and some feathers hide in the cream areas. Gery’s second quilt, Marrakesh Chain is quilted with a dark Tan thread, with feathers in the background, some curves in the small squares and a Double Ribbon design int he border and large print squares that are in the main body of the quilt. The fabric in this quilt is from Blank Quilting’s Marrakesh fabric collection.

Hope this makes up for everything!

Busy Work Week!

Well this week has been very busy here, trying to get the last of the Christmas Quilts finished and out of the studio! I haven’t had much time for anything but quilting, I even had to crank up the DVR to record my favorite TV programs! OK, enough about that, on to the quilts!

First off was a simple sports theme quilt made by Janice H.
Sorry but I have no photos of this one! I swear I took some but I can’t find them anywhere!

The next two were made by Lisa K. The First is made from Reproduction Prints, not sure of the name of the pattern so I have been calling it a Repro Stripe! Her second quilt is a Tennessee Waltz quilt.
First the back of Repro Stripes!

Now we have a first time quilt maker, Karen A. another quilt made from stripes!

This Fan Quilt was made by Theresa N. Its the first time I have seen this setting, but I think it is going to become on of my favorite!

Cheryl M. made this quilt call Colombian Puzzle. It was a bit difficult to quilt as the pieces of the star do not line up like a traditional star quilt would!

And last, but definitely not least we have a Stack N Whack quilt made by Fay R. Now I am only going to post one photo of this one as I want to make a post just about this quilt tomorrow!

Well that’s all for now, remember if you want to see a larger view of any of the quilts just click on them and you will be taken to my WebShots Album!
See you tomorrow!

One Thank You, and 5 Quilt photos!

Before I get to the photos I want to say thanks to Randi over at AllenQuilts , I tried the pins you suggested and they are working pretty good, not as good as the ones I was searching for but they are much, much better than some of the other I have tired! Thanks for the help!

OK, now this weeks, I mean last weeks quilting! I like to think of last week as Sue week. All but one of the quilts I worked on belonged to Sue G.!

First off we have a Card Trick variation made from batiks

Here is the back of the quilt, the quilting shows up much better on this side!

Now on to a Carpenters Star. Sue got this one as a Quilt Kit and it is made from half Square Triangles.

This one is the same Carpenters Star pattern as above, but in Christmas prints, so we named it the Christmas Star.

Sports Star, yap another star quilt! This one was made for a 8th grade girl who is really big into sports!

Kinda A Cabin. OK so I am not sure of the pattern name for this one so I made one up! It is one of many hundreds of Log Cabin Variations, This one took me a bit longer than I had thought it would to quilt but I think it turned out pretty good. Sue hasn’t picked up this one yet, it wasn’t ready when me meet with the others so I am hoping she like it OK. The quilting doesn’t show up real well so I will try to give a discription, I quilted feathers in the light area of the main body of the quilt, a simple wave for the first small brown border, a double ribbon for the second border and a really simple larger stipple for the outer border. I did this simple quilting here to help ease in a little bit of extra fullness in the borders, I know there are other was to deal with fullness, and that some of you out there do not care for the ways I deal with floppy borders but this is one of the best ways for me to deal with it, and my customers do not mind it at all!

OK that’s it for now. I had on other quilt that did not belong to sue but I think my camera ate the photos I took of it as I can not find the darn things! If I come across them I post them later! If you want to see more views of the quilts i’ve shown here you can find them at my WebShots November Album!

Talk to you again soon!
