Becki's Scrap Happy Rails


Becki made this huge quilt commissioned by a friend. The pattern is 'Scrap Happy Rails' from the book 'No Scrap Left Behind' by Amanda Jean Nyberg.


She started it back when we took a class from Amanda Jean herself back in 2018.


I quilted lots of large swirls and circles to soften up all the lines.


I used a light gray thread.



Love all these colors together!



Thanks Becki!

Joyce's brown batiks


Joyce made this lovely quilt with a variety of blue and brown batiks.



I used my 'toasted caramel' brown variegated thread once again.


Lots of half feathers, curls and leaves.


Monkey see, monkey do...a grassy feather that is!



Thanks Joyce!

Norene's 9-Patches



Norene made this fun and scrappy 9-patch quilt.


I custom quilted it using rulers and some hand guided free-motion.


I extended the ruler design into the outer border since it is the all the same fabric.


Norene has made a few of these 9-patch quilts and I've had fun quilting them all a bit differently.


Here's another one by Carol.







Thanks Norene!

Diane made this queen sized brown block sampler.


I used a variegated brown thread and quilted all over designs of paisleys, half-feathers, leaves, and swirls.








I used a dark brown bobbin on the white backing.





Thanks Diane!

Tate's Baby Quilt


Landon (a Jr. 4-H'er) made this baby quilt for his littlest brother as a 4-H project. He used an embroidered block his great grandma had made for the center.


His grandma helped him sew it together and marked all the letters of the alphabet using stencils and a water soluble marker. The last yellow square in the bottom right corner was left blank intentionally, but I can't remember why. A label perhaps? 


I was to quilt around each letter and outline the fisherman.




I quilted around the raw edge appliqued letters a couple times around.


Great job Landon! I love how four generations were involved in some way on this special project!

The back.


Peep toe.
Thanks Diane!
