Laurel Burch Baby Quilt



I just finished this one. I used Rheingold thread on top and So Fine by Superior in color Marigold. I just had fun with this one, outlining the mermaids and making waves and watery curls. I put a fern border on it and some simple sashing designs.

Judy's Sampler is Done


I used Diana Phillips Flower Power book for the block design. I love her book. It is full of ideas that are easy to stitch freemotion. What could be better. Judy's backing is a yellow batik. I used King Tut Shekels thread on top and Superior So Fine Mustard #422 in the bobbin. The batting is Quilter's Dream Blend for a lovely drape. Judy had some fussy-cut sun rays in the setting and corner triangles. I used the Circle Lord to make the spirals in the center of the triangle applique and then free-handed the sun rays. This quilt was a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy the photos.







Danielle's Hearts



She designed a fill with hearts and quilted it aound the hearts. Then she doodled until she came up with her own sashing with hearts and loops. It looks fabulous.




This is a sweet paper-pieced heart quilt that Danielle pieced recently. It has some bad-girl in it, lots of dramatic black surround those deep red hearts. She decided that she wanted some puff in her quilt so she used Quilters Dream Puff. The backing is black dotted. She used Superior's King Tut # 926 Red Sea.

My life has changed in the last couple of years - some bumps, I retired from quilting, and then I moved to Texas. I'm anxious to see what new adventures await me in the next phase of my life.
