Here's a few quilts that have gone out the door ...
This is Joy's Star Sampler quilt. This was so busy and so pretty that I decided to use Magna-Glide Lime Green thread on top and blue in the bobbin ...
No, you say!!! But look at the close-up of the back of this quilt. Great tension on my APQS Millennium machine. I love this machine!! With tension like this, what's not to like!
Ok, enough about tension...
I used a Star and ribbon pantograph to go with the stars and ribbons in that black sashing/border. Turned out great!
Close-up of one of the blocks. See the lime green thread? Pretty pretty pretty...
This is a close-up of the backing. Blue thread only! Wheee!!
This is called President's Ladies (or something like that, I have forgotten) that Cathy made for her husband. Huge huge quilt with "medium" quilting. The large dark inner border has wheat sheaves so I picked up a wheat design and worked with that. Good job, Cathy!
This is a table runner or bed runner that I had a lot of fun quilting for my NY friend Jeanita. She does a great job piecing and this was a dream to quilt.
And this is Mary's 9-patch sampler quilt. I used a flowy flowery panto on this and I think it turned out great. Notice how those 9-patches creep out onto that first border. Great job, Mary!!
Cathy made this for her son and his bride-to-be ... they are modern kiddos so she made this very modern quilt with the beautiful grey linen fabric. What a dream to quilt! Being modern, I went with a modern box-in-a-box type pattern. See close-up below.
It turned out lovely!! Congratulations to all!
I just received word from the piecer Vallerie that her quilt Almond Country Beauty won first place in its category at a quilt show recently! Whee! Doesn't it look pretty with that blue ribbon hanging on the corner?
I have quilted two of these with a third in the queue ... it's great seeing one winning a ribbon. Great job Vallerie!!
Someone has asked for close ups of this quilt to better see the quilting ....
