Dawn's Applique Quilt

When new customer Dawn brought me this quilt, she said that she wanted an allover quilting design. I said, "over the applique, too?" She said, "Yes."

Easy-peasy for me! But when I actually got around to loading it on Mabel, I gave her a call just to be sure. She had changed her mind, so, I'm glad I called.

The quilting isn't too intense, just a meander in the main areas, two wavy lines in the narrow border (This is my new favorite quilting, as you will see later that I have used it again), and wavy line on the stems and flowers, and veins on the leaves.

 I used the same thread throughout, Lava Bambi and cotton batting that she brought.

I would say that the majority of the quilts that I quilt have at least one fabric that I have in my stash. This one is the exception, I don't think I own or have owned a single fabric in this quilt.

Dawn's Quilt

A far-away friend, Dawn, sent me this quilt to quilt. One of my guilds has a retreat at Camp Tecumseh in a couple weeks and Dawn got to know some guild members, (online I believe) and she has become one of our regular campers. She has probably been attending this retreat longer than I have, but anyway, she sent me this lovely quilt which she wanted baptist fan quilting.



The quilting is perfect for this one. I used Permacore Dyed Natural thread, after sending her pics of many thread choices. She couldn't tell by just looking at the thread cones, so I picked this one and I hope she likes it.


See you in a couple weeks, Dawn!
