Dana's quilt...

I quilted this Granny Square quilt last weekend...and a charity one for Joyce but I couldn't get a pic because I finished it late at night. 

I'm working on my challenge quilt for LVMQG...I'm using the Marmalade fabric by Bonnie and Camille.  Here is a bit of a pic...I can't show the whole block because it might be an original design!  Maybe a QAL or tutorial is in the future...

I'm writing another pattern as well.  Maybe this is my future??  Pattern design??  LOL...maybe graphing pairs of lines in the coordinate plane??  Darn it, work comes first. 

Happy Quilting....

Christmas Wreath Quilting...

I quilted this for a friend of Joyce's...Apparantly I used to babysit her daughter when I was in 7th grade...Anyhow, here is the quilt.  It measures 35" x 35"....

Not too bad...it really looks like a wreath!!  Success....Very nice piecing as well--flat!  I hope she likes it.  I'm doing another post on the sew-in on the Las Vegas Modern Quilt Guild blog as well.  Check it out!

Baby Quilts...

So I gave Sharon a bit of help with a few baby quilts...Two boy quilts and two girl quilts.  The quilts were identical, but the quilting was slightly different (different panto)...

This panto was called "Bloomin' Stars"....cutest. panto.ever!

"Square Spiral"....nice texture for a boy's quilt...

This panto is "Spring Garland".....how cute is that??

Anyhow, I have a few more quilts to quilt and I have to get working on the LVMQG challenge due in November.  I'm making a quilt from the new Marmalade collection.  Camille Roskelley will be the judge and some jelly rolls are at stake for prizes!  Wish me luck...

Baby Boy Quilt..

This is Sharon's...one of two boys quilts she is letting me practice on.  The panto is Happy Times...

I'm loading on a beautiful Baby Girl quilt next...wish me luck on picking the right thread!!

Las Vegas MQG Charity Quilt...

This last summer I won a red Kona FQ stack from MamaCJT.  We used it at the LVMQG to make a charity quilt for the Mequite Club auction in November...

It was pieced during our meeting in August, assembled by Patti A., quilted by me and will be bound by Regina.  A final pic will be coming when it is completed, but here is how it looked after the quilting today...

The quilt is quite large...78" x 93".  I freehand quilted the swirls using Persimmon Signature cotton thread.  It took 13 bobbins...but only a few hours to quilt.  Let's hope it raises a bit of money at the auction this year.  I still have one leftover red pieced strip--what to make now??  A pillow??  A table runner??  Hmmm....best get on that, right??

I LOVE the Bliss system that I bought.  Worth every frickin' penny I spent.  Honestly, I feel like I'm such a better quilter now...my stitches are awesome, my swirls are not boxy, and my back and hands don't ache at all!!  Fantastic...

Happy Quilting!

Quilting lately...

I haven't been posting much lately because school has been so busy...life has been so busy.  But this weekend I got some quilting done...

A 14 ft long table cloth...over 5 ft wide...I had to quilt in the dark with side lighting because the thread blended so well with the busy top fabric.  She wanted tone on tone thread for the back as well so that it could be reversible...

Overall swirls...the bliss made these look so wonderful!

This is the back side.  You can see the quilting better...20 bobbins on this one!

And I did a Halloween spiral tablerunnder...

And a first for me...a wool applique wall hanging.  I just had to quilt some fills in the background...

I hope she likes it!!  ;-)
