Diamond Crosshatching

 Got a little Diagonal Crosshatching going on today. This quilt is so cool - my client used all greens and whites - its more white that green at the top and transitions to more green that white at the bottom - Such a Cool Effect!!!

Brown Goose Antique Quilt

 my friend is an EXCELLENT antique quilt finder

She found this beautiful one and said - can you quilt a Cable in the border - and I gulped - Sure!

and then I got about to drawing and practicing and praying that I really could

Here is what I came up with!

I am so excited - I think it turned out so great!!

And then I crosshatched in the blocks. Such a beautiful quilt!

Double Wedding Ring Re-visited

 About a year ago my Son and I headed up to the mountains to take this sweet beauty for it's photo shoot....

and! I am still in love with it!

My friend and her husband are antique finders - and they have the best little shop of things they have found - but! at one auction he went to he found this quilt top and thought of me/

They gave it to me to see what I could do with it - and oh man  did I have fun

We did note that there are Polyester fabrics along the edge - so it seems the center was made in the Olden days, and the border was added later.

I had a great time quilting it - and LOVE how it turned out

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!

Another Great Week

I have such fun getting to see all the different quilts my clients make!!

From Batiks

To Solids

To Grunge

I am looking forward to this week - I have a Vintage Quilt, and an embroidered quilt.... even a cat quilt!! Yay me!!!

This week in Quilting....

Happy Easter!!!

I had some fun in the Quilting Room this week. Even though it was Spring Break and my kids and I took some short trips in the state!

The above one was really neat - it was all these classic fabrics

and she wanted feathers - so I had a lot of fun

This is  Quilt of Valor my Quilting group made

I quilted a Baptist fan - sort of

at the bottom of the fan - there is a swirl!

Too fun.

Another classic quilt

I must have been in Baptist Fan mode ;-)

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!!
