Attic windows is a fabulous way to showcase a landscape panel. Beautiful variegated thread brings out the colors of the trees.

Cross stitch and quilting make a dynamic duo on this quilt! Hours of ruler and out line work but it was well worth it!

Bed runners are such a fabulous gift for loved ones that are bedridden. The quilting pattern has houses, hearts and trees and was an excellent match for this project.

Sometimes all you need is a good texture on a quilt!

I am amazed at the selection of flannel fabrics in this quilt. When I saw the solids on the backing I knew I had to use a bright variegated thread and it turned out magnificent!

I love it when I get a surprise through the lens of the camera. I didn’t even notice the log cabins until I was photographing this quilt; a delightful surprise.

Its always fun to pull out my specialty threads. This time I used a silver metallic thread for the snowflakes.

One of my favorite quilting techniques is free motion thread painting. On this quilt I purposely didn’t tightly stitch the mama bear’s face or the cubs so that they would have a 3-D effect.

It’s not too often that I get to use my scenic quilting designs. The backing was an excellent choice for dark brown thread. It is exciting when you can have a reversible quilt.

If you look back on my blog you will see the Ombre Quilt to which these pillow shams are a match. Same fabrics, quilting design and thread.

I can just imagine cuddling up with this quilt, a favorite toddler and a stack of Dr Seuss books.

Just enough solid color fabric to allow my quilting to shine!

The intricate piece work is fore front on this quilt. However the quilting on the blue borders is understated and gives the solid color amazing texture. It’s always exciting to see how the piecework and the quilting work come together.

Notice how the waves in the quilting reflect the subtle curves of the piecing. Very calming and serene.

What an eye catching array of colors. The orange background is spectacular and a fantastic canvas for the wavy quilting design.

This has to be my new favorite quilting design. I just love the hearts that are tucked inside the rainbow shapes. It was the perfect choice for the rainbow colored stripes of this baby quilt.

Look closely and you will see quilted maple leaves on this beautiful, vibrant autumn leaf quilt. I am always thrilled when the quilting pops on the backing fabric.

Look at the southwest quilting on the black border. Fantastic. The turquoise thread compliments the bright colors in the pieced blocks.

How many Hawaiian fabrics can you find in this quilt. Inspired by the tropical blue of the backing, I quilted Hawaiian flowers in cerulean thread.

Magnificent colors look just like a western sunset.

Imagine the time it took to fussy cut each block so that the flower is in the center. Fabulous.
