Look at the Charmer

Danielle made this sweet quilt out of charms and put borders on it. Then she quilted it up in no time. You can see the Gammill Optimum Plus on a 12 foot table behind Danielle. She is working her way toward a show quilt.

Danielle Does It Again

Danielle is on fire now. She just started learning longarm quilting a short time ago. She is a natural and learns quickly.

Kaffe Fassett Snowball For Friendship Quilters Guild

My guild, Friendship Quilters of San Diego, had a philanthropy day in January in which we put together a snowball blocks using Kaffe Fassett charm packs. Then Lee and Jean, the Philanthropy chairs for the guild, decided to set the blocks into a black sashed settings with tiny corner stones and a black border.

I volunteered to quilt without any idea of how to quilt it. I got some ideas from the pros on MQ Resource. I used Superior Rainbows thread #814 Gypsy (RED-MAGENTA-ORANGE-DK.RED) plus Superior So Fine black thread in the bobbin and in the border.




I didn' want the border thread to detract from the snowballs; I just wanted it to ruffle the 1-2-3s design in the border. I quilted a feathery flower in each block with the feathers peaking out a bit so the color shows in the black sashings and so the sashing is stabilitzed. I considered SIDing all the rows but it idn't work with my continueous feather flower.

The guild plans to use the quilt in the auction coming up in April. I hope it makes a ton of money for the guild.
