Crazier Eigths

Mary made this lovely quilt with some fabrics that you just don't see everyday.   The William Morris fabrics are from the Morris Manor collection by Barbara Brackman. Mary used the Creative Grids Crazier Eights template set to create the blocks. 

Mary selected the Wildflower pantograph which really has the right feel to match the pretty prints.

Flowers for Emma

This darling quilt was made by Deann.  The pattern is called Flowers for Emma by A Quilting Life.  Deann plans to give this quilt to her granddaughter Emmi so this seems extra fitting.

This was Deann's first forray into English Paper Piecing and she did a faboulous job.  Deann has done many other handcrafts beautifully so it is no surprise that this came together so well.

Deann chose the Wildflower pantograph which ties the entire project together well.

Catch up Post #1

So... it appears that I haven't shared any quilts since April!  I have in fact been quilting, but spent a lot of time enjoying my summer as well.  So time to share some of the wonderful things that have travelled through my studio in the last 5 months.

First up is the lovely BQ4 quilt that Marion brought.  Her niece fell in love with the black print and had Marion make it into a quilt for her.  The BQ patterns from Maple Island quilts are a great way to show off a larger scale print.

We used the Dragon's Breath pantograph which complimented come of the motifs in the focus print.

Elaine made this sweet Layer Cake Links quilt.  The free pattern is available here from the Fat Quarter shop.   She selected the Pieces of My Heart pantograph for a lovely finish.

Jukipa brought this pretty quilt made from a collection of Tilda fabrics.  

She selected the Feathered Garden pantograph  which was very fitting and looked pretty on the plain bakcing.

Jukipa also brought this cheerful jelly roll quilt and chose the Feather Unfurled pantograph for a sweet finish

Mary brought this rich quilt made from a collection of blue William Morris Fabrics.  I struggles to get good pictures of this one, but the wildflower pantograph was lovely addition with a green thread so it didn't fully disappear.

Amanda brought this fun Grinch quilt.  She chose the Quirky pantograph which i think is a fun addtion.

Roundabout Placemats

 

Reneta made this lovely set of placemats for her daughter from the Highway 10 Designs Roundabout Pattern.  All of the fabrics that Reneta used are from the Dawn on the Prairie collection by Fancy That Design House for Moda.

  I have often done custom quilting on this style of placemat, but this time Reneta requested an edge to edge design.  She sent one large piece of backing so that I could line up all of the placemats and stitch the Wildflower pantograph across them all. A pretty and economical approach!

Two for Madeline

I had the pleasure of quilting 2 lovely lap quilts for Madeline.  The first is called Topsail by Quilt Cakes.

Madeline selected the Gatsby pantograph that has a bit of a modern geometric feel.

The second one is called Agnes by Penelope Handmade.

The Wildflower pantograph complimented the fabric prints and was just the perfect choice.

 

Raspberry Kiss

Amy made this sweet little quilt for her second great niece who will be arriving soon.  She used the Raspberry Kiss tutorial from Wooden Spoon Quilts.

Amy chose the Wildflower pantograph which compliments her border fabric perfectly.

 

A Pair of Tea Cup Quilts

Susan brought me two lovely quilts made from Missouri Star's Tea Cup quilt pattern.  This first one is in a lovely collection of fabric called "A Day at the Lake" by Wilmington Prints.  Susan left the pantograph selection up to me and I thought "Bora Bora" looked like the breeze blowing in off the lake.  This one is destined to live on a bed in her cottage and it couldn't be more perfect.

 

The second quilt was made in a beautiful line called "Petal Pusher" by Camelot fabrics.  I selected the Wildflower pnatograph and a lovely mustard colored thread to finish this one off.
