Jada's Quilt in Aqua, Black, White, Gray

My niece, Jada, made this beauty. I absolutely love her color choice!

With some 80/20 batting and plush minky fabric on the back, this will be so cuddly and warm. The threads I quilted it with were sterling Glide on top and dark gray Bottom Line on the back using a free motion C-curls design. Love it!

Evidently I played bobbin chicken on this. When i was done, there was only about 5” left.

 

Stained Glass Sunlit Bird Panel Quilt

I recently finished this quilt top and I love it! I was in Nauvoo, IL at the end of May and for some unknown reason I ended up stopping by the little quilt shop (Nauvoo Emporium Quilts & More). They had a quilt kit using this stained glass bird panel. It was pretty, but I like to design my own and make it the size I want, so I bought the panel and the kaleidoscope fabrics and began planning while touring the town and sitting at my campsite. I ordered some more fabrics from my favorite online store to do the seminole border, and basically spent way too much on this, but I love it. Now I need to decide how I want to quilt it.

You know, since I already have all the extra fabric I ordered, I think I'll buy a couple more of these panels and make a baby/queen set for another future grandchild. Below is the original quilt I saw in the store that triggered my creative juices.

Rainbow/Spectrum Scrappy Plaidy-Cake Queen and Baby/Lap Quilt Tops

You know when you have a long to-do list and you work and work on it for days or weeks or months with seemingly nothing to show for it and then finish multiple projects back to back? Well, that was last week. I finished this quilt top set for a future grandchild (small when a baby, and larger when they are older). I’m replenishing my stock.

This quilt pattern is called Plaidy Cake, but of course I tweaked it to be the size and color scheme I wanted. I have always loved the spectrum and how colors can flow from one to another, so rather than do the patten entirely random, as directed, I wanted to be all matchy-matchy which ended up harder than I thought. But I like the result, so it was worth it to me.

Cathy's Sampler Scrappy Star Quilt

My dear friend, Cathy, makes many quilts to give away, but this sampler quilt, she loves so much she’s keeping for herself.

I quilted it with cream Glide and Glide 60 thread using the pantograph “Windy Wonderful Weather” from Urban Elementz.

I love how the quilting mimics the pieced stars but with a twist. Love how it turned out!

Cathy's Indian Motorcycle Quilt

I know I’m no motorcycle expert, but I’d never heard of an Indian motorcycle until after quilting this quilt.

Cathy found a panel and made it into the perfect quilt for her Indian motorcycle fan.

I enlarged the Kindling pantograph from Urban Elementz and used dark gray So Fine and dark gray Bottom Line threads.

Ukrainian Refugee Rainbow Chevron Quilt

Another quilt I quilted for my Guild to donate to Ukrainian refugees.

I used the pantograph “Double Bubble #2” from Urban Elementz and used white Glide (on top) and white Glide 60 threads (on back).

Jean found an awesome fabric for the binding. LOVE it!

Ukrainian Refugee Quilt for Guild in Blue and Gold

Lovely quilt I quilted for my guild to donate to Ukrainian refugees.

I used a new pantograph I just got called “Windy Wonderful Weather” from Urban Elementz.

I used cream Glide and Glide 60 threads on top and back respectively.

Cathy's Appliquéd Scrappy Pine Forest Baby Quilt

Can I just say that I love this quilt Cathy made? So simple and elegant. She took left over squares, sewed them together, then appliquéd evergreen trees on them.

To quilt it, I freehanded an all-over C-curl design in the background and tacked down the edges of the trees with a freehand zigzagged-y edging all in Glide Cleopatra thread on the top and Glide 60 Cool Gray 3 on the back. The top thread looks like metallic gold and the back thread looks like silver.

Dorothy's Soccer Quilt

Another quilt by Dorothy, this one soccer themed.

With all those soccer balls, the circle quilting in the Double Bubble #2 pantograph from Urban Elementz seemed a perfect combination.

The Glide/Glide 60 military gold thread worked beautifully with both the front and back.

Dorothy's Space Quilt #3

I think this is the 3rd space quilt with scrappy back that Dorothy has made for different individuals in her family.

She loves the Stellar pantograph (Urban Elementz) on them which I quilt in Glide/Glide 60 Military Gold thread.

She also had me bind it - save her some time. As always, she made a scrappy back with the leftover fabric.
