Fun with Strings

Still feeling great and working on my own quilts I've had in the queue for a number of years.  This is a string quilt out of one of the Fons & Porter magazines a while back.  I decided it needed a bit of light custom quilting.  It's just fun being down in the studio again.

Pin Wheel Quilt

Every time (well quite often that is) when I get a notice that Jen at Missouri Star has a new video I have to try at least one block.  I liked this one so much that I ended up making a whole quilt  - I really like it!  Made from a layer cake that someone was kind enough to give me - thank you, sorry I don't remember who it was.   Nice cozy flannel for the backing.

Jelly Roll Quilt - destined for Ft. MacMurrey

I started to make this quilt for one of my many grandsons but decided Fort Mac was an important cause  at present and hopefully I can still get a few quilts made for my beautiful grandchildren.  Oh did I also mention great-grandchildren (second one due in June).  We are soooo blessed!

Just want to say hi to all my friends and family.  I have been feeling fairly well these past few weeks and even spent some time down in the studio.  This is a quilt I started for hubby many months ago.  My girlfriend Lynn who passed away a number of years ago brought back the focal fabrics from New Zealand.  I want to thank each and every one of you for your prayers and well wishes - they are soooo appreciated.

McKenna Ryan pattern - Pieced by Gloria

This awesome quilt was pieced by a wonderful lady and my personal inspiration named Gloria.

Full custom quilting using a variety of threads.  Fun quilt to quilt but sad the photos do not show the quilting very well.

"Rabbit Haven" - Cherished Moments

Lynda B made this adorable quilt for her first granddaughter - isn't it the sweetest quilt you've ever seen?  The name of this beauty is Rabbit Haven by Cherished Moments and Lynda did all the embroidery by hand. I am sure Lynda's granddaughter will cherish this beauty forever!

I am still very slow with my quilting but really feel the need to persevere and continue on with my passion.  Thank you to all my customers for being so very understanding.

Full custom on this beauty using Hobbs 80/20 batting and white polyester threads.

Don't Fence Me In - pieced by Linda L

This unique quilt was beautifully pieced by Linda.  I did find it a bit of a challenge deciding how to quilt it but all in all was happy with the outcome.  More important Linda was happy!

Combination of custom and freehand quilting using Hobbs 80/20 batting and an array of polyester and rayon threads.  Mainly Mirage by Wonderfil.
