secret sewing

There's been a lot of secret sewing going on here. 
I love what has been created!




I have two more projects still in the works; stay tuned!



quilt monday

There's a baby boom happening in our church which has kept me busy with some adorable baby quilts. This is one of 3 I squeezed out of a fat quarter stack of Safari Playground.

quilted with Loop the Loop

This is one of my favorite fat quarter patterns. It's Little Man from the book Simplify and it goes together so quickly.

I had just enough of this adorable flannel for the backing.


And striped binding? Yes please!


Now I just need a baby to give this too lol

Can't get enough of these blocks!

fabric-True Luck blocks-Sweet Life from Simply Retro

Margaret

Is hands down one of my top five clients. She comes in every quarter, drops off a few quilts and we see her again in 3 months when she brings us more.

I didn't realize how long it had been since I had shown Margaret's quilts so there is a few. Enjoy!

For the butterflies, I stippled around the butterflies and did a piano key border through the piece and solid borders.


Margaret's  piecing is amazing.


More custom for this cute one. Again, tight stippling in the background and piano keys in the border. I also quilted spines in the umbrella.



Margaret's 90ish year old mom helps her with all her embroidery.
And Margaret does a lot of embroidery quilts.


Her favorite is cat quilts.


More custom on this one; Margaret loves stippling and piano keying. She likes to keep the quilting simple so the piecing really shines.



I love this one.


Check out the detail on the birds.


This was a gift for one of her grand-daughters.

quilted with Linna's Charm
Such a lovely wedding gift!


More kitty cats.

quilted with Popcorn

Again, the details are fabulous.


Another wedding quilt

quilted with Rambler Rose

The quilting really makes this quilt pop.


Again, more cats lol.

quilted with Popcorn

Love the kitties.


Happy Halloween!


My favorite block,


More applique,


Again, the detail is fantastic.


Lastly, this fun reindeer quilt.


I stippled around the reindeer and did a ribbon stitch in the sashings.
For the border, a large snowflake.


Thanks for the lovely quilts Margaret!




















quilt monday

Still on my table runner kick!

I bought this charm pack on a whim. 
I had this pattern in my mind and I love how it came together.

quilted with Orange Peel
The quilting couldn't be more perfectly complimentary to this. At least I think so ;)


I had no idea what to use for binding. I was auditioning fabric and this print from DaySail was perfect!


I also got my second runner finished using the Modern Neutrals fabric.


I wanted this one wider and I had just enough of the darker fabric to make that happen. I will admit that I actually had this half quilted in diagonal straight lines and I didn't like it at all. Unfortunately, unquilting it stretched the fabric so there was so crazy fullness in the middle. As a result, I ended up quilting a meander on it to smunch down all that fullness.


I love how it matches my wall quilt!










instant gratification

Last week I had to get a filling(booooo). I felt like I totally deserved a pick-me up treat after so I stopped by Hamels  on my way home and grabbed some fabric.

90 minutes after leaving the dentist office I had this.


I have been extra speedy at work this week and got this quilted even.


The straight-line quilting works perfectly on this.

I love these prints!!


I also snuck in my Aurifil mini quilt.


Super cute in Daysail. And the striped binding? Love!!

I also got a quilt whipped up for a special someone.


Did you notice it is the same pattern as the table runner? They look different don't they? Love how just changing fabric for a pattern can give it such a different look.
