Judie's Mariner's Star Quilt in Blues and Greens

This beautiful quilt top was made by Judie. So gorgeous!

I’m so glad she asked me to custom quilt it - some stitch in the ditch and other ruler work as well as freehand quilting. I used MonoPoly clear thread on top and Glide 60 cool gray 3 on the back.

 

Dorothy's Snow Animals and Plaid Quilt

Dorothy is making great strides in her quest to make a quilt for each family member in her very large family.

This is a nice winter/Christmas-y quilt, so I quilted it using the Tree Top pantograph from Urban Elementz in Mossy Glide/Glide 60 thread.

As is her wont, she made a scrappy coordinating back.

It's like having a reversible quilt.

Tina's Bunny Bar Scrap Quilt in Peach, Coral, Tan, Blue, Cream

Another quilt Tina made for the third upcoming grandchild!

This one I quilted with the paper pantograph Bebop from Urban Elementz in cream Glide/Glide 60 thread.

Sue's Ruffled Rose Quilt with Custom Quilting

A group of friends made “matching” quilts together. I put the word “matching” in quotes because the pattern they used, called “Ruffled Roses” by Sue Garman, is the same, and the color scheme is very close, at least for the first two I’ve quilted.

At first glance I assumed they were exactly the same, but as I examined closely, I found subtle differences. If you want to see Phyllis's quilt, click here.

Sue wanted her quilt quilted just like her friend’s, but with her permission I made a few minor changes that I felt fit her particular quilt better.

I used Glide/Glide 60 Cool Gray 3 thread. All hand driven quilting with either rulers or freehand.

And there it is! Great quilt, Sue!

Mary Ellen's Pink Quilt for a Twin

Mary Ellen made two quilts for twin girls and let me quilt them. She let me experiment with my new computer addition to my longarm.

I quilted a baptist fan design on this quilt in pink Glide thread.

Mary Ellen's Purple and Pink Quilt for a Twin

Mary Ellen made two quilts for twin girls and let me quilt them. This was the first of the two. She graciously waited so I could experiment with the new computer addition to my longarm.

I quilted a clamshell variation on this quilt in Tabriz Orchid Glide. She rolled with my imperfections and I’m grateful to her. I still have so much to learn.

Cathy's Star Tree Skirt

This is a tree skirt Cathy made.

Not only did I get to use my new computer/robotics system for the design, but got to learn how to make no-sew-zones, thus making the quilting fit only the space of the actual top rather than a big rectangle that included the tree skirt. Lovin’ my iQ (IntelliQuilter)!

White Glide/Glide 60 thread.

And the finished skirt.

Tina's Hearts and Rabbits Baby Quilt in Blue, Tan, Cream

Tina has another grandchild coming, so she whipped out another quilt for the next one, this time in blue. I quilted it the same as the last, using Dear Heart pantograph from Urban Elementz and white Glide thread.

Emerald's Scrappy Star Charity Quilt

My sister, Emerald, designed and made this scrappy star quilt for me to give to charity.

Rather than doing a quick edged edge on this, I took my time and made it custom with each star being quilted differently. It was lots of fun too quilt. I used a variety of Glide thread, changing the color for each star.

She has a few changes she said she would make to the pattern, but I really like how it turned out.

 

Sue's Cream and Pastels Star Quilt - Blue, Purple

Sue made this lovely quilt top for an upcoming grandchild’s wedding.

I quilted it with cream Glide thread using the duet pantograph from Urban Elementz.
