A Sampler Quilt

Good Evening!  Hope you all had a great day!  Wonder if we will be waking up to snow in the morning - can't wait!  Take a look at the beautiful quilt that Debra made for her brother's upcoming birthday.  It was a sampler quilt that she made quite a while back.  We did some semi-custom quilting on it.  I used a design called Tangled in the big outer border and a design called Fireworks in the red outer border and in the inner sashings around the middle row.  A design called Star Spangled is allover in the middle except for the center row where I did some more custom quilting on those blocks.  If you look at the back, you can get a better view of the border designs and I think the basket block turned out really cool.   Cotton batting and 3 thread colors: red, cream and blue.  Nice work as always Debra!  Hope you like it!!!  Take care, Richla

Pride and Prejudice

Good Evening!  I just loved that book and movie.  When I took a look at the fabrics in Eileen's quilt, that is what I thought of.  We picked a design all over called Abundant Feathers with cream thread and cotton batting. It was a blended quilt kit from Gathering Fabric.  I actually made one of these quilts too but I like the way Eileen positioned her fabrics. Nice work Eileen!  Hope you like the way it turned out.

Oasis

Good Evening everyone!  Hope you all had a great Sunday!  I actually got some sewing done for me today and changed up a few things in my sewing space.  I can't wait for you all to see!  Anyhoo, below is a beautiful quilt that Karen made.  I believe it was a kit called Oasis.  The fabrics and the pattern are just wonderful!  We chose a design all over called Ocean Froth with a variegated thread and wool batting.  Nice work Karen!  Hope you like the way it turned out.  Take care, Richla

Secret Garden

Oh My Goodness and Happy Friday to everyone!  Just take a look at this stunning quilt that Kathy made.  It was a quilt made from Gathering Fabric's Saturday Sampler from last year.  Why oh Why did I not make this quilt???  Kathy added a few blocks and that teeny tiny triangle border you see on the outside to make it a larger quilt.  I don't know where to start -but first off to say that Kathy will be hunting for treasures for a while on this quilt.  Boy did I have fun with this one.  Birdhouses, swirls and birds flying in the clouds are in the 3 outer borders.  Ribbons, bows, fans, flowers, hearts and a cute little bookworm are all worked into the quilt.  Kathy brought her own Hobbs wool batting and we used 3 thread colors:  raspberry cream, ginger and cream.  Nice work Kathy - I can't say enough - you are a great piecer!!!  Hope you like it!!!  Richla

Sew Expo

Hello Everyone!  What a great day we had to stay inside and sew!  Take a look at this super cool quilt that Stacy at QWNW made.  It is going to hang in their booth at Sew Expo, sooooo, I had to put spools of thread and needles all over the quilt.  What do you think?  We used Dream 80/20 Blend batting with a salmon pink thread allover.  Love the pattern.  Nice work Stacy!  Hope you like it!!!

2 by Kathy

Good Evening Everyone!  Hope you are loving this rain!!!  Here are 2 beautiful quilts by Kathy.  The first one is a cute little table topper.  We used a block design that is from my wine collection and the outer border is called Sun Valley.  I just love the colors in this one and how it is all coordinated - nice work Kathy!  Cotton batting and a dark green thread all over.  The second quilt is really fun!  We used a border design called Bo Sparkle with funky birds in the big colorful section and noodle soup all over in the middle.  Variegated thread and wool batting for that puffy look.  Hope you like the way they turned out.  See if you can find the birds.  Take care!!!

Tangled

What a day!  I got alot done today but Phew!  I am really glad it is bed time.  :)

Take a look at this adorable quilt that Sherri made for her brother for Christmas.  It is super soft flannel on both sides and the snowmen are adorable.  Look at that border!  Nice work Sherri!  We used a design allover called Tangled.  I think it looks like snow swirling all around the snowmen and wool batting for that puffy look.  A neutral creamy tan thread all over.  Lovin the quilt!  Hope you like the way it turned out!!!
