Rita's log cabin



Rita made this lovely brown and cream log cabin quilt using light yellow centers. 


Longarm feathers in the dark brown border, feathered curls in the small light brown border, and a small feather in the little cream border.



For the blocks- in lightning streak arrangement- I did a feather in the cream, and curls and shells in the brown.  I c2c'd the yellow center squares. 






Thanks Rita! I think it turned out very well!

Lois's blue batik


Lois made this large quilt with blue, green and brown batik fabrics. So pretty.



I quilted all-over curls and purls on it. It is actually #58 in Tracy Russell's book Free Motion Quilting 101. It's got 100 different FMQ designs and she's coming out with another book really soon. I needed some new designs- I was getting in a rut, quilting the same few designs over and over again.




Thanks Lois!

Beaver and Peas

Jessica made these adorable baby quilts. These busy beaver prints were too cute!



I took a cue from the fabrics and quilted an all over wood grain design on it with a gray thread.




The back.



This one was adorable as well with the little animals and vegetables. I went with a peas-in-a-pod theme to go along with one of the fabrics.

The pea pod fabric.


The whole quilt.  Thanks Jessica!!
