Gray is such a great color for background fabrics. Just look at how the colors in the blocks just pop. Add the texture of the quilting and you have a quilt that is sure to delight!
This started as a box of blocks and now it is a quilt to enjoy. The solid pieces on the back bring the quilting to life and the scrappy binding is simply charming.
When I look at the quilt, I see a flower trellis, so I quilted blooming roses that can climb up the quilt top. The quilting gives great texture to the white fabrics and the bright pink thread shows well. I can almost claim a green thumb with this quilt.
This quilt is made from just two fabrics and a fantastic pattern! The quilting shows well on both sides of the quilt, and I couldn’t be happier. When the piecer gave it as a gift she was told, “this is the nicest gift I have ever received!”
After receiving three fire quilts to give to his children, this customer was back with another bag of T-shirts to have a quilt made for himself. I used the same fabrics in the sashing and border and added patches to the border. My Innova longarm machine handled beautifully over the patches. This will be cherished for years to come.
Besides being so soft and cuddly, minke backings are incredible for showing the quilting patterns. This charming little baby quilt was a collaboration between a quilting friend and myself to give to a young couple that I work with, who are expecting their first child. So, in a sense, the front of the quilt was a gift from my girlfriend and the back was a gift from me.
All the fabrics in this quilt have dragonflies in the print. I added more when I quilted a swarm of dragonflies and curls with a dark lavender thread on top and gold on the bottom. Magical and magnificent.
I used the palest and thinnest of yellow threads to quilt an edge to edge on this applique quilt. Beautiful quilting without taking away from the stunning applique work. Just in time for spring!
I had two requests when I made this quilt; make it warm and make it big. The t shirt blocks are cut as large as I could make them, and the red sashing is oversized. I added an extra layer of batting, and the extra benefit is how the stitches are so defined. Thank you for your service and happy retirement.
This stunning wall-hanging was inspired by a photograph on a vacation trip. I was thrilled to embellish it with thread sketching. I used over 13 colors/types of thread to create my “artistry”.
