"Iceland" by Sharyle

This is another pattern from Heart to Hand.  I'm not sure if Shayrle made the tops then, or made them again recently.  Either way, lovely quilt. 

Quilted in gold thread with Northern Lights panto. 
 

"Welcome to the Flock" by me

For anyone who doesn't yeet know, my biking friends and I refer to ourselves as "the flock" for our fascination with flamingo tights.  When my newest great niece was born, she got a quilt, but then I found this pattern in my collection and HAD to make it

The blue fabric is some of my hand dyed fabrics, and of course, I quilted it with and edge to edge design of flamingos!

 
 

"Forgotten Mystery" by me.

This is what happens when you make a bunch of quilt tops, but then don't mark them with a name.  This one is made from scraps, but at least with a theme.  Destined for the police someday.

 

"Whatever makes you happy by Leigh

Leigh and her truly amazing embroidery and applique.  Wow.

As usual, all done in wools, with LOTS of embellishments

This is "Tucker" her dogs name, but I'm not sure this is what he looks like.

This block just made me happy.
 

"Dutch mystery" from Sharyle

Here's one from the "way back machine"  This is the Dutch mystery that we made at Heart to Hand quilt shop

Since Sharyle had put prarie points on the outer edge, we couldn't do an edge to edge design or they would just get run over by my machine.  So, swirls and leaves in the main quilt, and feathers in the border.

 

Two from Betty for grandkids

This is a for a grand-daughter.  Made of flannels on top so warm and cozy.  Quilted with snowflakes so warm and wintery

And Spiderman panel with additionalfabrics for borders.  Clearly, quilted with a spider web design

 

"Modern" quilt for Lisa's daughter

This is for Lisa's grown up daughter.  I believe that she also chose the fabrics and colors for it.  Lisa chose the "Wax on" panto, and kindly shared with me that it's about the phases of the moon.  Which is a lovely compliment to the design in the blue fabrics below.

 

Jackie's T-shirts

Jackie was referred to me by Feather Your Nest quilt shop, and she is a tri-athlete.  So lots of runs and bike rides,  and athletic events.

I, of course, focused on the bike shirts.  Cycle Oregon, although I didn't ride this one.

And Monster Cookie by the Salem bike club.

 

Wallhanging from Pat for her son and daughter in law

 Here is a wall hanging from Pat that she made for her son.  Very modern, so very simplistic quilting.  SID on the blue, and curves on the gold

"Quail" by Diana for her mom's 84th birthday

Isn't this just so fun!  Diana says that where her mother lives there are quite a few resident Quail who hang out near her home.  Sadly, mom's birthday was while I was out of town, but we met soon after I returned and got this finished for her.

Each individual egg on 3 rows of sashing was cut out by hand, and appliqued b y machine.  I SID around them all to give them definition.

Same with the birds, and some of them have a LOT of pieces!  Beaks, wings, their adorable little topknots.  Quilted with a freehand background fill of swirls that was a good match to the print on the white on white background.

 She is my favorite!

Pam has been busy!

Here are 3 from  Pam all destined to be donation quilts for charity.  What a fun idea, take a churn dash, and then make a really big block.  Only needs four of them to make a good sized quilt, and then sashing between the blocks is a perfect  compliment

Quilted with "Hippity Hoppity" panto, but I don't see any bunnies in this myself.

A "Crumb" quilt.  Where you take all those little bits of fabrics that you have in random shapes and stitch them together until they are large enough to make a block of whatever size you choose.

I  especially liked Pam's limited color palette.  Mostly greens and blues with a few black and white thrown in for fun

Quilted with "Radiate Pearls", and there are small "pearls" strung through

Pam told me that this was called "Skip to my Lou", but I don't know if that is the pattern designers name choice, or if Pam created this on her own.  Regardless, it's darling!

Quilted with Baptist Fans
 

Table Runner for Cousin Barbara by Pat

Clearly Pat is a wonderful cousin, to make something this lovely for a cousin.  Machine applique, pieced, kind of Christmas in the reds and greens, but not so much that it can't be used year round.

Since it was small, and my directions for quilting were "Beth to play", I just played.  Feathers some ruler work, SID around the appliques, but then they needed something to keep from being so poofy.

 Glide thread to match the fabric throughout

Log Cabin variation by Kathy

I love the variety you can achieve with a Log Cabin block.  This one would probably be closer to a Courthouse Steps block, but still very similar.  Great way to use up small bits of fabric and bring joy to the recipient  In this case, Kathy's neighbor Quilted

Quilted with "Divine" pantograph
 

Stars and 9 patch by Beverly

Another gorgeous quilt by Beverly.  This one is for her grand-daughter.  We were discussing backing fabrics, and Beverly shared that this grand-daughter has a dog, so probably not white backing.  So a great read that really let's the quilting show. 

Since the background is actually a pale grey, that's the thread color I went with as well.  Hard to see, but it blends really nicely.  Great idea to cut a slightly smaller center square, then to frame it with a different red.  Lots of fun fabrics to look at!
