Jessica's Silky Lilly Pulitzer

Rewind back to December for a moment here. Each year I make a little thank you Christmas card for my clients with an ornament made from selvages. The ornament for 2020 was a little mask.

I think they turned out pretty cute! I think 2021 will go back to the regular Christmas themed designs, but it's getting harder to come up with something new!

Jessica was commissioned to make this large sized quilt with 4-patches of Lilly Pulitzer fabrics.

Her client wanted to use this silky white chiffon fabric for the backing. 

I used a white thread and quilted fun feathers and leaves in the sashings.

In each 4-patch I quilted a large flower design.

The back turned out so pretty!

Reminds me of a wedding dress. 

Jessica was concerned about this backing fabric, but she did not need to be. It turned out gorgeous!

Thanks Jessica!

Anita's Jack-O-Lantern

Anita brought me this cute pumpkin wallhanging that she made and had even started quilting.

Another issue was that the backing fabric she used was upside-down. So she had a new piece to use for the back to put right-side up.

She wanted me to quilt in the borders.

I quilted my funkiest and spookiest looking feathers.

Anita had already quilted inside the pumpkin.

And outlined it with a decorative stitch.

It was fun to quilt "ugly" feathers for once! 

Thanks Anita!

 

Anita's Blue and Green Quilt

Anita made this neat quilt with lots of fun blue and green floral prints.

I quilted all over designs of feathered swirls and leaves and things.

She had already stitched on her label, so I had to be sure it made it into the back of the quilt.

The back.

Thanks Anita!

 

Mary Jo's Silver Christmas Quilt

Mary Jo made this pretty Christmas quilt with lots of sparkly silver fabrics. 

I quilted all over curls, holly leaves, and double circles in a light gray thread.

Thanks Mary Jo!

Lindsey's T-Shirt Quilt

Lindsey made her own T-shirt quilt with all her high school activities shirts. I bet she has a lot more room in her closet now! It's a pretty big quilt.

This quilt was the perfect one to use a bright colored variegated thread on.

I had fun quilting all kinds of designs and outlining the shirt printing.

She requested that I do the binding by machine. I used the extra backing fabric to make the binding, stitched it to the back side and top stitched along the front.

I even made a label for the back using an iron on design from a book I purchased recently. She can write in whatever she wants in the shirt. 

Thanks Lindsey!

 

Sharon's Stars

Sharon brought me this quilt with red and black stars.

I used a dark cream thread and quilted all over designs of curls, leaves, half-feathers, and paisleys.

Thanks so much Sharon!
