Embroidery Flower Quilt

This beauty was made by Shelly.  The quilt is the Embroidery Flower Quilt from Tilda fabrics. There are 46 different fabrics and well over 2200 individual squares that make up this quilt!!

Shelly always leans to clean modern feeling quilting.  Organic freehand wavy lines was the order of the day and I was happy to oblige.

Shelly found a beautiful floral print for her backing,  It is from a few years ago and is called Garden Party from Riley Blake. I love it!

I'm glad this quilt came through my studio so I could appreciate it in person it is one to remember.

 

Cool Treats

Reneta made this totally adorable otter quilt.  The pattern is from Art East Quilt Company and is called Cool Treats.

It took a little while to come up with a quilting plan that we were both loving, and the end result was simple is best.  The wavy lines let the otters shine, so many designs we auditioned seemed to compete.

I just love these otters and their ice cream cones!

 

Cattle Call

The darling Highland Cow was made by Reneta.  Reneta is a pattern tester for Art East Quilt Company, and this is one of their latest releases called "Cattle Call."

I quilt a lot of quilts for Reneta and every once in awhile she like to challenge my creativity.  (Check out song lyrics, martini glasses, mice and glass slippers, butterflies,  a world map....).  This time she suggested that we amp up the Sottish flair of this quilt and give "Angus the Cow" a Scottish Thistle.

I found a great tutorial at Lori Kennedy quilts for a thistle, so I didn't have to think about how to do it,  and I think it worked out perfectly.

The wavy lines were quilted across the whole quilt first in So Fine thread, and the thistle was added last with a slightly heavier and shinier Magnifico thread.

Is this not one of the cutest quilts you have seen in awhile??
