Norene's fancy feathers

Norene made this pretty quilt from a kit. 

I quilted the borders individually and an all-over in the center.

Lots of fancy feathers.

A simple circle loop in the narrow pink border.

Thanks Norene!

Carol's stars

Carol made this fun star quilt for her granddaughter. 

I quilted the border strips with ribbon candy and loops, and feathers in the setting triangles. 

The corners got some loops.

The center blocks got an overall large feathered swirl. 

The yellow back.

Thanks Carol!

Becki's bento box quilt

Becki made this fun bento box quilt. Love these colors together!

I quilted an all over design with scalloped paisleys.

Something curvy and flowing to contrast with all the straight lines and corners. 

The back.

Thanks Becki!

Fall raffle quilt

This quilt was made for a charity auction for a special lady. Our elementary school secretary who had just recently completed cancer treatments contracted West Nile virus. For a normal healthy person West Nile is not a big deal, but to one with a compromised immune system it is a very serious and more difficult journey to overcome. If you are lucky. So naturally our little school rallied and organized a benefit breakfast - silent auction -bake sale -quilt raffle event. 

So when a couple of the faculty who happened to also be quilters decided to put together a quilt to raffle and asked it I could quilt it up quick, I said 'of course'! 

They went with a fall theme with the fabrics-her favorite! I had just completed this quilt by Lois which was very similar, and we decided to quilt it about the same way. 

I used a variegated thread that was gold/orange/brown. I actually ran out of it about 2/3rds of the way into the LAST pass! Ordering another spool was not an option with our time crunch, so I had a bit of gold thread I put on. Ran out of that! Then I put on an orange or a brown I can't remember now, and finished it up. Good thing with the variegated thread colors and the colors of the blocks, it's not very noticeable unless you go looking for it. :)

Lots of freestyle swirling, twirling leaves! I used about every leaf shape I can quilt into it.

The light gold marbled back was a perfect opportunity to show off the quilting with a dark brown bobbin thread.

Love how it turned out! The benefit was a HUGE success too. Unbelievable the number of people who came to help support! Happy to be a small part of it.
