Grinch x 2!

Becky has been the queen of producing these Grinch quilts.  This time the request for a pair of quilts that were simlar but different for a pair of sisters.

Becky changed up the placement of the large panel and shuffled the faces.  The borders and sashing fabrics were also different fabrics.  A red plaid on one and a green plaid backing on the other make for perfect companion quilts.  Becky chose her favorite Snow Winds panto on both.  I'm sure these will be cherished for years to come.

 

More Catching Up!

 Ready to see some more wonderful quilts now that I have resurfaced after my summer break?

First up in this fantastic Pineapple quilt made by Anne.  The bright batiks were a great choice for this quilt.

Anne and her niece chose the Terrace pantograph.  The beautiful turquoise backing was the perfect compliment to the front.

Monica made this King size quilt - it is hard to get a sense of the size from a photo but it was 110' x 110"  There are so many interesting fabrics that you get to appreciate in the simple layout.  The Calder pantograph added just the right amount of quilting.

Monica opted to have her quilt bound by my associate Marion  so it was ready to enjoy on her bed when it arrived home.

I'm not sure how many of the Grinch quilts that Becky has made to date - at least 4?  Her friends and colleagues keep wanting one for themselves and she keeps finding more panels to make it happen.  Becky loves the Snow Winds pantograph to finish these and I am happy to oblige!

Val made this t-shirt quilt for a family friend.  She did a great job of making all the different sized logos work into a unified and organized piece.

The Raindrops pantograph added a simple quilting pattern that allowed the t-shirts to remain the star of the show.

Patrice made two quilts with fabrics from the Imperial Garden collection from a few years back.  We used the Clamflower pantograph and a shiny grey thread that read very similar to metallic silver in the fabrics.

Patrice didn't let any of the fabric go to waste and pieced a back for one of the quilts.

Last but not least is this Homestead Star pattern made by Megan.  The kit is still available from Keystone Modern Creative when I checked earlier today.  Megan asked for turquoise thread and selected the Sweet Pea pantograph.  I really like the print on the backing fabric.

Grinch Quilts

Becky made two Grinch themed quilts this year.  The first was a Christmas gift for her youngest daughter. 

Becky selected the Snow Winds pantograph for both of the quilts.  I'm sure they will treasured in the Grinch loving household!

Winter Mittens

I am happy to share a quilt that is all mine!  This quilt came together a part of a Queen Bee block swap I participated in last year.   Every month one member of the group would select a block pattern and the other participants would make two blocks and pop them in the mail.  I selected this free Winter Mittens pattern from Sew Fresh quilts and sent everyone a piece of my background fabric.

Here are some close up photos of all the cool blocks I received.

I selected the Snow Winds pantograph as it just seemed fitting.

And I finally found the perfect opportunity to use this interesting piece of wide backing fabric that had been sitting on my shelf for awhile.  I think it fit in perfectly.

Seasonal Sampler

The is Mary's festive Christmas quilt.  The quilted started out with Mary following along with the American Patchwork and Quilting Seasonal Sampler 2022.  Mary substituted some of blocks for others she found and liked to truly make the project her own.

I love all the fun Christmas fabrics Mary included.  She told me the fabric in the present block was from a stocking she made for her son when he was young.

Mary selected the Snow Winds Pantograph and a white thread to make sure it didn't take away from all the darling blocks.

Mary found a lovely flannel print with snowmen for the backing and the most wonderful candy cane stripe for the binding that was added by Bindings by Marion.
