Pop Stars table runner


I bought this Pop Stars table runner pattern at my LQS in October. I had received a couple of mini charm packs as a door prize at a quilt guild meeting and this pattern was perfect for them!


I decided to use the 'no waste' flying geese method instead of the stitch and flip as the pattern calls. So I found some coordinating fabric from my stash. Plus just a few more 2.5 inch squares.


I had a hard time making a decision on how to custom quilt it. I like how it turned out!
(I had to include the ugly orange goose fabric. It's our signature!)


Lots of ruler work and corner-to-corners. (the horse fabric is for Dad- the horse lover.)



I gave it to my parents in honor of their 40th Wedding anniversary. They are already enjoying it here on their dining room table.


Loved this pattern and will probably make it again, this time for MY table ;)



The back.


Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Jessica's Cherry Baby quilt


Jessica made this adorable baby quilt. Love those cherries!


I echoed the cherries and added some veins in the leaves and a large spiral in the cherries.


The rest was filled with swirls, leaves and flowers.


Thanks Jessica!

Paula's manly quilt


Paula made this manly quilt for her husband with these fun novelty prints.  Beer, cigars, watches, and cars.


I quilted an all-over paisley swirl on it in a gray thread.



Thanks Paula! I'm sure he will love it!
