Debbie's frogs

Debbie, my ex-sister-in-law (still a good friend) made this cute quilt for a new baby.



We decided it needed some spirals, so I used the circle lord template and finished this one up yesterday afternoon.



That little baby boy is just going to love this one. Debbie hasn't been quilting very long, but she does a wonderful job.

August Finishes

I finished a couple quilts last week and it's a good thing because I don't have much in the way of finishes for August.

Here is my butterfly block swap quilt. It was a UFO from 2005-2006. There were a group of us that met before guild and we each had a tote with fabric and ideas. My idea was butterflies....they could be pieced, appliqued, or whatever the maker chose. I put the top together in 2009, and it's been waiting to be quilted ever since.

Here's the backing, which has been hanging with it since Quilt Quarters (south) closed years ago.


I chose Circle Lord spirals for the quilting because of the movement it shows.



The next quilt is the first try at the soon-to-be-revealed ScrapSquad quilt. I didn't think there was enough contrast in some of the logs, so I started over with more of a plan. This one has been donated to the Duke Smyser Chili Blast. I've given a donation to this group for 3 years now and I think it's such a worthwhile cause.

Carla's Baby Quilt

I quilted this cute quilt for Carla using the Circle Lord Spirals templates. It's been a very long time since I used these and I am always so pleased with it when it's finished.



I used PermaCore Dyed Natural thread and Hobbs 80/20 batting.



This is the first quilt I have done for Carla....hope she likes it. The second one will be on my next post.

Rosemary's Beautiful Quilts

Here is the second quilt that Rosemary made. I just LOVE her style and I hope that she loves my quilting.
Rosemary and I met on an online quilting message board and have only met in person a few times. She sends me the most beautiful quilts and I never have to fuss with them to get them to lay flat.

On this quilt, I used my circle lord spirals template, and wavy SID (because I didn't want to have to change thread color for the SID), and flat feathers in the border.





And look at the back, It's a two sided quilt for sure.



Hobbs 80/20 batting and Glide tan and PermaCore camel thread for both of them.

And as promised last week, here is a full shot of her Town Square quilt:

Circle Lord Spirals

This is a Heartstrings quilt made by Melva and it is so pretty with the lights and darks. I tried the spirals template on it this evening and I'm not sure that I used it quite right, as it wasn't continuous. I wanted to have a full spiral in each square and a half size one in between, which meant a stop/start between each pair. I think I probably could have figured it out, but I ended up having company....my granddaughters and a friend of theirs.
