What's Black, White and Red all over?

Lois's quilt! 

I couldn't resist quilting some straight lines across the checkerboard pattern of this quilt.

And added some red curls for contrast in the borders.

The back.

Thanks Lois!

T=shirt and Happy Hexagons Quilts

Diane made this pretty T-Shirt quilt for a special granddaughter. 

I always outline the shirt designs and fill in the rest with a few different designs.

Thanks Diane!

Jann made this super fun quilt called Happy Hexagons.

Lots of swirls and movement in this one. 

Thanks Jann!

Scrap Busting Quilt

This was my do.Good Stitches quilt called Scrap Busting Quilt Block. I love how it turned out! The bigger squares use 4" squares. 

I love it when a quilt pattern creates secondary designs.

I quilted it in all-over random designs.

Great job as always by the do.Good Stitches circle!

 

20th Anniversary Quilt

Last summer my brother and his lovely wife celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary. So, naturally my mom, sister and I planned a secret quilting weekend to make them this king sized beauty!

I had lots of fun quilting it with not only a variety of designs, but with various words and names too! Here in the center are their names and "20 years".

Their kids' names.

Iowa State--where they met.

Places they've lived.

Names of their pets- Sketch and Kari

I barely have enough room on my floor for this one! They were very surprised when it was gifted and very touched. And (Spoiler Alert!) a smaller couch quilt was made out of the scraps and trimmings of this one so the kids have a matching quilt too! 

Congrats on making it through your first twenty years of marriage guys!

 

Log Cabin Quilt

Anita made this really sweet log cabin quilt using 30's prints.

I quilted all-over designs of flowers and swirls and things.

There's a subtle doggy theme in these prints.

And even more so on the back! How fun!

Thanks Anita!
