Mr. and Mrs. Quilt


Julie made this simple but very elegant quilt for a new bride and groom. 


An in-process shot of quilting the lattice.




I outlined the embroidered 'Mr. & Mrs.' and filled in with some feathered paisleys.


I picked a design for each fabric and repeated it as it came back down the line.


I altered the direction of the feathers and used a cream/brown variegated thread to really make it stand out.







Thanks Julie! I really enjoyed quilting this one!

I used a red-white and blue variegated thread and quilted all-over paisleys and stars.

Lauren's T-shirt Quilt


Lauren made her own T-shirt quilt as her 4-H project last year.







She even came over to try her hand at longarm quilting for the first time. She did the loops and swirls in the top portion of this photo--not too shabby! Thanks Lauren!

Diane's Embroidered/Pieced/Wholecloth Quilt


Diane made this beautiful part embroidered, part pieced, and part wholecloth quilt. 


She requested variegated thread for the embroidered blocks so that the quilting shows up better.



I just quilted on the suggested quilting lines. 





The backside.



Thanks Diane!
