Bear's Paw - Customer Quilt

Just finished up this lovely Bear's Paw quilt made by my friend and customer Tammy.  I used a pantograph called " Come Dance with Me" by Irene Steele,  100% cotton batting and Mirage variegated thread by Wonderfil.  This quilt is made as a gift for Tammy's Dad.

Customer Kaliedoscope - Free Hand Quilting

This beauty was pieced by a lovely lady in my quilting guild, She did a wonderful job and if I remember correctly it is a gift for one of her children - or grandchildren. I did an allover freehand leaf "meandering with attitude". As usual I used Mirage thread by "Wonderfil" top and bobbin. The third photo down is of the pieced back which is the fabric used to make the Kaliedoscope blocks. ( For a closer look please click directly on the photo.)

Elegance - Full Custom - (A Peek)

This is a beautiful customer quilt called "Elegance" - it was a block of the month at "Along Came Quilting" one of our local quilt stores a year or so ago.  I am doing a "full custom" on it with mostly each block reading something different with a lot of feathers and ruler work.  I hope to have it ready to turn to do the 3 remaining borders this weekend and have it finished within a week or so.
