Peg's Red Machine Embroidered Christmas Quilts


Peg stitched up a couple more redwork machine embroidered Santa quilts. Just like the first one she made. She decided to make one for each of her 3 children for Christmas. Yes, these were quilted last October. I'm that far behind in the blogging. 


So, naturally I quilted them all the same way as before.



A little wreath with holly, berries, pine twigs and ribbon curls.


And outlining and backfilling the Santa blocks- just making it up as I go.


The back.







Thanks Peg!

Pink Tulips and Table Topper


Diane brought me these two small projects to quilt up. I just love this first one. Scrappy pink tulip baby quilt.


It totally looks like something I would make :)


I quilted an all-over design with paisley swirls and leaves.


This one was done without batting to keep it lighter weight and have more of a drape. 



The backing was a white fleece. So cozy!



More all-over quilting for this table topper quilt.



This did have batting.



The back.
Thanks Diane!

Black and white bear/Sheep


Sharon made these sweet little baby quilts. They are black and white with just a tiny touch of pink or blue in them. 


I outlined the sheep and lightly filled in the bodies with some stitching.


I filled the background with lots of swirls and curls and things.


For the wide borders, I quilted an echoed undulating wave all around. 


The back--more dimpled minky in a soft gray.


Here's the blue bear version.


I did the same type of background and outlined the bear as well as his tie.


I did a different border with a big ribbon candy/loop design.



Thanks Sharon!

Linda's Bright Orange Floral


Linda made this super bright quilt with some bright floral fabrics.



I quilted all over with lots of flower designs.


Leaves and half-feathers.


Love this colorful fabric!



This was my first time quilting with this dimpled minky. I was concerned about how it would look after it was quilted. Would the dimples deflate? 


Nope. 
They are just fine. 
No issues at all. 
Keep quilting on!

Thanks Linda!

Lexi's Large Scale Print Quilt



Lexi made this big cozy quilt with some fun and bold prints. She used minky for the backing, but opted to omit batting to keep it light weight and cozy.


I quilted lots of fun things all over in a pink thread color on this one. 


Feathers, swirls, flowers, leaves, paisleys, you name it-you can probably find it! No quilting definition to see from the top when there is no batting...


...but it's here for sure on the backside!


Yeah, a little bit of everything is in the mix here.


Thanks Lexi! I had fun quilting this one up for sure.
