Two baby quilts from Gretchen

There is a new baby in Gretchens' family, so of course, quilts!  A camping panel, and a pieced one with a Bee theme.  They are both quilted with the Dizzy Bees panto

 

Two Christmas quilts for Kathy Y

Kathy needs something good in her life, so here are two quilts for her to finish.  The stars was quilted with an ornament design in a gold thread, and the other quilted with a snowflake and houses.  There were many little buttons attached, but I had to remove them before quilting.  Another project for Kathy to work on.

 

"Picket Fence" by Julie

A Christmas gift for Julie's son.  the pattern is called  "Picket Fence" and it is quilted with the "Woodgrain Panto"

 

Two from Pat

A wedding quilt because if there is ever a celebration in Pat's world, a quilt must be made for it.  She is so very generous.  Quilted with and edge to edge design of a swirls.

"Haliakala" is what Pat's son said that this reminded him of, so this will go to them.

 

Two for Christmas from Carol

Because every child needs a quilt and a book to go with it, Craol found this pattern and the book to gift.  I outline quilted the caterpillar to give it definition and then free hand leaves in the rest of the quilt.

"Ribbon Christmas Tree" for her mom.  Again, a panel, but with a great boder added for a wonderful effect.

 

3 police quilts

I had purchased a quilt kit at a garage sale, and then separated it all apart.  Part of the kit was a small piece of batting, and I saved it for "someday".  I finally used ti to make 

 

this Trip around the World quilt from leftover 2" squares.  So they ended up being 1.5" when finished.

These are two star quilts that I made form similar fabrics  After sorting my stash, I found I had several that just didn't fit into any one color, so I put them aside.  Then found this pattern in a magazine and it was perfect for them.  Since I had no quilts to finish on my hand guided machine, I just had a really good time playing with these quilts and using different designs.

 

Grim Reaper and Plauge Doctor by Michael

Michael is so sweet, he was concerned when he dropped these tow off that I might be "offended" by their theme.  Since these are Michael's they are of course paper pieced.  Amazing.  

Both quilted with the "Rose Skulls" panto

 

Vlad's Cop quilt

Vlad is a friend/manager at work.  He and his partner were in an auto accident and he now holds a spot in his heart for police officers  based on his experiences after that accident.

This is simply a whole cloth from black fabric, quilting with gold thread, then I played with my rulers.  Wondering what I could do with them.  Many designs are copied from others, a few I created on my own.

Thank you to Mary Beth for donating her leftover wool batting as that was used for the batt.  I gave this to Vlad to give to an officer of his choosing. (I can also see future whole cloth practice quilts coming)

 

Log Cabin Variation by Diana

Not quilt a traditional Log Cabin block, but still the same idea on a larger scale.  What a great idea!  Brought to life by Diana

 

Two Hobbit quilts by Mary Beth

Here are two different quilts for the same family.  One will be for the entire family to use, and the other is for Jane.  Sadly, I've forgotten which is which!  Since the theme of both quilts are Dragons, one is quilted with the Lorien's Dragon panto, and another is finished with "Castles in the mist"

Castles in the mist panto

 

Batiks for her Acupuncturist by Carla

 Hard to tell from the photo, but these are lovely batik fabrics all stitched together into a Rail Fence variation by Carla.  What a lovely gift.

"Garden Picnic" by Carol

Carol and I have quilted together for many years now, and I hope I'll get to see more of her now that she has retired.  Although this is a Block of the Month, where you usually complete one block per month for a year, Carol finished hers in something like 2 weeks to one month.

 A BIG quilt at 100"x101", but a lovely Hydrangea panto to finish it with a soft pink thread.  Well done

101 Maple Street by Laura for her neice

What a great quilt!  I can't believe that Laura not only appliqued the entire thing, but that she turned under the raw edges before machine stitching them!  Wow!!

Quilted with the Leafy Vine design.

My favorite block.  The fox on the swing with stitching lines for the swing ropes!

 

Baby quilt in batiks by Susan

Lots of new babies in the world!  Susan is a new to me customer who made this sweet one out of batiks, and another minky backing.  Quilted with the Wildwood panto, so flowers and feathers and swirls.  I hope that she and I will get to partner again in the future!

 

Red Riding Hood Panel by Pam

 Pam has made several Red Riding Hood quilts, and this one is specifically for her newest grand baby.  Quilted with an edge to edge "wood grain" design, and she provided minky fabric for the backing to make it extra cozy.

Two Mickey quilts from Janice

These two quilts are both made from Mickey Mouse fabrics for the mouse ears.  Love the Friendship star blocks that are also "tossed" around the edges, and a checkerboard border to finish it off

Clearly they had to have Mickey and Minnie for the quiltling to continue the theme, and I thought this deisgn was perfect.

So much fun that she made a second one with a different border!  I've also drafted out the design so that I can make one of my own in the future.
