Marty's flying geese baby quilt


Marty made this baby quilt with some bright turquoise and some fun purple prints.


I did an all-over with swirls and flowers and leaf shapes.




The back. Batting used was a woven cotton blanket, so it has a nice drapey-ness to it.
Thanks Marty!

Becki's charm quare quilt #2


Becki made this fun not-exactly Iowa Hawkeye (but really kinda is) quilt with some charm squares.  This is the second quilt she has made with this pattern. The first is here.



I quilted an all-over paisley feathered swirl design.


It turned out pretty nice!

Thanks Becki!

Jelly roll and Cross quilt


Marilyn made this road trip themed jelly roll quilt. 


She requested a large meander to go along with the road map theme, and I threw in some stars and circles to make things more interesting.


Linda made this amazing cross wallhanging and wanted it custom quilted. We found some inspiration on the internet and went from there. I marked the straight lines and quilted those in white thread first. 


Then I did the blue cross in section in a matching blue thread.



Thanks Linda and Marilyn!

Lost City


Teresa made this fun quilt called 'Lost City' and wanted me to do some fancy custom quilting on it. 



I started first with some super sized swirls with paisley feathers in a purple thread.


Ribbon candy in the center strip. I changed to pink thread for the bright prints and did a simple paisley swirl there.  


The last thread change was to light gray for the pebbles in the background fill.  It was at this point I remembered Teresa's request to quilt the recipient's name- Adrianna- into it. So I squeezed it in there :)





This was a really fun quilt to do! And I just love how it turned out.


Thanks Teresa!!
