Pink/yellow baby quilt

This baby quilt is my current project. It is 42" x 60".

I started with a 4" floral block. Added 2" white strips with yellow cornerstones. Then a 2" pale pink with the same yellow cornerstones.

The quilting has begun. I chose a feathered heart for the white squares using white thread. I use soap to mark quilting lines on most fabrics. It is getting extremely hard for me to see the markings on the white. But I'm too afraid to use colored markers or pencil on the white.

Tee Shirt Quilt completed

This quilt is made with tee shirts all from the same college.
The only request was to use light blue fabric. The jersey
squares are hand quilted and the sashes are echoed with a
1/4" stitching. The border was also hand quilted with blue thread.
Chloe who spends 20 hours of each day hiding in my bed
took a fancy to this project.

Productive Vacation

I am lucky enough to get 4 weeks vacation from my day job. Usually they are spent quilting 6 - 10 hours a day.
This morning I finished a tee-shirt quilt. I hope to finish two other projects before next Monday morning. Photos later this week.

Feathered square

This lone star customer quilt features many quilting motifs from the 1980's.
During the 1980's it seemed like there were feathered circles, hearts, etc. in almost every piece. It's been awhile since I've done any feathered motifs. There were only eight in this project - a manageable amount.

Country at its best

This is my current customer project. Although it is reminiscent of the 1980's and early 1990's, it is a classic country piece.

There is a lot of hand quilting in this project. I am currently quilting the small baskets. This is a project I will miss once shipped.

Signature quilt

This small quilt top is designed to be a signature quilt. Once sandwiched with batting, the cream diamonds will have 1 1/2" quilting lines ready for people to sign their name or add a message.
I have given signature quilts for retirement parties and baby showers.

This picture does not do justice to the beautiful blue print fabric.

To be quilted after the holiday rush.

Thread Play

This is a small piece of a customer wall hanging. Each wild flower of the batik is outlined by quilting. The thread used is dark green to blend with the background. The other half of the square is 1/4" echo quilting with tan thread.

The black batting is wonderful - no bearding and easy to needle.
