Linda's Wedding Quilt #1

I finished this quilt that Linda made yesterday. She gave me 2 quilts that will be given to her granddaughter, one for the bridal shower and one as a wedding gift. I'm not sure which is which, but I wanted to make both of them special.

This is all freehand and I worked on it for 3 days, not the entire part of each day, but quite a while.




A close-up while in progress.

This is more the true color. The sun outside really changed the colors.

Carole's Purple Feathers

I re-loaded this yesterday to do the side borders. It is a little work to re-load them this way, but it sure makes it easier to do the borders....and these were big borders.


She wanted feathers, and that's exactly what she got. Longarm meandering magic feathers in the log cabin blocks and outer borders, and more controled, over-and-back feathers in the white borders.



I used PermaCore lilac and white thread and Hobbs 80/20 batting. She usually wants Warm & Natural and has a roll here that I use on her quilts, but this one was too big and I would have had to piece it, so I used the Hobbs.

Shadow Box

This is Andrea's Shadow Box quilt that I finished this morning. I have this pattern and now I have the motivation to make one of my own. This is another custom job and I'm sure ready for a pantograph or two. I always keep track of my stitching time and this one took 2-1/2 hours. About 7 hours of actual time.



I used PermaCore Lilac and eggshell, and Superior MonoPoly Smoke threads. Hobbs 80/20 batting and the quilting is swirls in the background, 1/4 inch echo in the shadows, and the same kind of feathers in the blocks and border. i know there are several names for these, but I can't remember them.



I love the back of this one. It's a light green with lavender thread.

Carole's Kaffe Fassett Quilt

I forgot to post a finished photo of Carole's chinese coins quilt.



Here it is all finished. I couldn't seem to get a good photo of the flowers and leaves in the strip of coins.


I used Warm & Natural batting and Coats and Clark variegated autumn colors thread.


Are you getting tired of seeing these feathers yet?
