Antique and Antique-ish quilts

I loved quilting on this quilt.

The antique fabrics are so rich and colorful

and reminds me of the days I would go to Grandmas and she would let me play in her fabrics.

I didn't know what a blessing that was...

And this one!

Its a great Christmas wall hanging - 

I like this one 

Its antique-ish 

but made of all new fabrics!

Quilting Snippets

A few little glimpses of the Client Quilts I have been working on:


This one might look familiar - It was one of the Bonnie Hunter Mysteries... I LOVED the color choices!

This one was so fun  I got to free hand like crazy!!

The Cathedral Window part - that was made in the 50's by my clients Grandma - it wasn't finished so the relatives were going to throw it away.... She saved it, and we finished it... then made it bigger so she could display it.

it sure is fun to see the variety of quilts that my clients make - and of course, I want to make them all!!

I LOVE Circles

I made some very fun improv quilt blocks quite a few years ago. The class was presented by Melody Randol in Colorado. 

If you ever have a chance to catch a class from Melody – I totally recommend it – she is fantastic.

The class was held with our guild and it was way before I understood improv or even scrappy quilting – before I had even really heard of scrappy quilting. Her class spoke to me. 

She said just lay the fabric out and lets’ start cutting.

Oh my – I had such fun.   

And then, I put them in a box, and sort of kept working with them as I had time…

Of course I was using some of the Kaffe Fasset fabrics I had found at a quilt shop , way before I even really knew who he was! so that was a real draw - I love those bright colors....

Fast forward a few years - I Finally Pulled the thing back out again and made it into a quilt top.

THEN!!  I quilted Circles ALL over it - I just LOVE this texture!

Circle circles everywhere

Don't you just love how it moves across the quilt?

And the final result!!

Got a quilt you would like circles Quilted on?

Message me, and I can do that!!
