Black Bear Face


Mary made this amazing quilt called Black Bear Face by Janet Fogg.


A work in progress. Mary wanted some custom quilting, but not too dense as she wanted it to be used as a baby quilt. Lucky baby!




This was such an interesting quilt as parts of it are pieced, some appliqued, and some is some sort of hybrid of the two. Very neat!




Thanks so much Mary!

A Couple Baby Quilts


Connie brought me this sweet baby quilt.


The new arrival resides in the Pacific northwest, so the cute Yeti fabric was appropriate.



Can you find Bigfoot's footprint?


I got to use my turquoise variegated thread on this one.


Thanks Connie!


Jessica made this adorable baby quilt.




Thanks Jessica!

Cowboy Quilt


Anita brought me this fun cowboy themed quilt.




I quilted all-over paisley designs along with some stars and lasso loops.




I couldn't resist a bit of custom in the big brown corner blocks.


Thanks Anita!

Baby Quilt Sampler and Embroidered Teddy Bears


Marty brought me a couple baby quilts. First up is this sweet pink and green sampler. She had me use a thick piece of felted blanket as the batting. A bed or crib liner at one time perhaps?


It actually quilted up nicely! I quilted overall designs of flowers, curls and leaves, but couldn't help myself from doing some quick custom work in this applique block.






Next was this adorable teddy bear embroidered baby blanket. This time she used a tea towel for batting.


Definitely not as much quilting definition as the last one, but it has a nice drape to it.




Thanks Marty for the adventures in batting! I do enjoy the experimenting. 
Most of the time--It will quilt!
