Angie's Charmed and Dangerous


Angie brought this quilt a few weeks ago and said she liked the quilting on the cover of the pattern.

I duplicated it pretty closely.

The pattern had a large meander in the shapes around the 4-patches and I'm not sure what was in the outer borders. I chose to do something different in those shapes, and beadboard for the outer borders. The stippling around the feather flower and the continuous curves are from the pattern photo.

Pam's Quilt

Every once in a while I surprise myself. I caught on to doing pantographs when I first got my machine and I still love doing them. But, there are some quilts, and quilters, that deserve custom quilting. This one is just one of those!



Pam's quilt is square as can be, her piecing is perfection and the fabrics are just yummy!



She wanted feathers, CCs, and stippling. She said she like lots of quilting, so here is what I came up with.



I used So Fine/Bottom Line and I'm ever so happy that I picked up a spool of thread at their booth in Cincinnati, because I ran out of the cone I was using. The spool is a shade darker than the cone, but worked just fine. I was so mad at myself for not checking before the bus trip, but it worked out.



And the back.....almost looks as good as the front!

Brenda's Kentucky Quilt

Brenda put this one together, with embroidered blocks that she purchased, I believe.


It is light custom with terry twists, beadboard in the outer border and swirls in the inner border.



Permacore white thread on top and chambray in the bobbin, Hobbs 80/20 batting.

Barb's Star Quilt

Barb made this one for her grandson and just picked it up. It turned out really nice and she was so happy that I got a tip. I gave her a little demonstration on measuring across the center of her quilt to get the measurements for her borders. She didn't know about that trick and was happy to learn.



Continuous curves and beadbord in the borders. So Fine and Bottom Line threads and Hobbs 80/20 batting.
