Sixes & Tens by girlfriend Suzanne

Girlfriend Suzanne helps out with the piecing of quilts for this wonderful organization - Victoria Quilts.  We make and deliver quilts to people who are struggling with a diagnosis of cancer.  There is absolutely no cost to the recipient or the person requesting the quilt.  These quilts are the perfect size to be taken to treatment appointments or just to cuddle up under.

This is a very popular pattern we use called "Sixes and Tens" and sews up very quickly and turns out so lovely.  Thank you Suzanne for your help - great job!

I always have kits here at the studio for anyone who would like to make one of these quilts to be donated - the patterns are very easy and sew up quickly.  Just give me a call or send me a message and we can arrange a time to get together.

This was my first effort at an allover freehand feather meander, Tutti 100% cotton thread by Wonderfil and Hobbs 80/20 batting.

Gorgeous - Kaffe Fassett Quilt by Elizabeth

Wow - how about these amazing florals from a Kaffe Fassett collection.  Elizabeth loves Kaffe's bright and colorful fabrics and has made a number of quilts using his gorgeous fabrics. I think she does an awesome job coordinating them, don't you?

I loved doing the quilting on this beauty because I got to see all these fabrics up close and if you are into flowers (did I mention Elizabeth definitely is) - you will absolutely love love love his beautiful fabrics.  I was amazed at the vibrant prints and colors - what a great job the mill did when printing these.

Because the fabrics are very busy a freehand allover soft floral design was in order to just give this beauty texture.  Hobbs 80/20 batting and Silco multicolored variegated thread by Wonderfil was used.

Illusions by Jen - Missouri Star Quilt Company

I saw this pattern on youtube and just had to put it together.  Jen at Missouri Star Quilt Company makes these patterns look so easy and guess what?   - They Are!  I used 8 different fabrics for the blocks on this one but I really think anything would look good - hope you'll give it a try.

I've decided that I'm going to share my quilts even if they are not quilted because the number of quilts I have in the queue is getting larger and larger.

Pam made this quilt for herself!

Now I'm around many quilters at any given time and know that the majority of us make quilts for different charities, family members, friends, etc.  Few of us actually make a quilt intended just for ourselves. 

Pam was fairly adamant when she picked up this beauty, that she was going to keep it for herself.
The quilting is a freehand leafy swirl quilting design, a beautiful variegated thread - Tutti by Wonderfil and Hobbs 80/20 batting.  We matched the thread so closely that the photos do not really show much of the design.

Nancy N got a great head start on her gifts for Christmas

Nancy N brought a number of quilts to me very early in the year giving me a lot of time to get her Christmas gifts quilted and avoiding that last minute rushing.  I've posted a number of them over the months and these two are also made by Nancy for gifts.  Sooo pretty Nancy and hope you're feeling a whole lot better!

Freehand quilting on both.
