Joanne's Christmas trees




Joanne made this fun quilt called Tree's Up, Light's On - by Sandy Gervais.


I quilted some fun curls in the border.


The middle was filled in with more curls, holly leaves, berries, and a few stars, all in a white thread. 


You can't have a Christmas tree without a star!



This looks like a super fun quilt to make.



A peek of the back. 
Thanks Joanne!

Chenille Pumpkins


Joanne made this fun table runner with chenille pumpkins.




I used a variegated thread in oranges and browns. 




I outlined each pumpkin and stitched down a couple rows in-between the chenille layers just to tack it down on the bigger pumpkins..


Thanks Joanne!

DGS block and Baby Boy Quilt


These were my blocks for do.Good Stitches back in October. A fun and super scrappy design with lots of HST's. I used a lot of scraps leftover from my mask making days. 



I made and donated about 300 masks last spring. I used up a bunch of my 'ugly' fabric as well as some that was donated to me for the cause. 


Patty made this sweet little quilt for a new grandson's arrival.



I quilted an all-over paisley leaf design.


All sorts of cute critters in this one!


She used a dimpled gray minky for the back. 
Thanks Patty!

Barb's Hearts


Barb brought me this sweet little heart quilt.





I quilted a ribbon curl in each heart and filled in the background with lots more curls, hearts, and leaves.



As well as a feather in the border.



The backing was a soft pink minky.


Thanks Barb!

Teresa's Summer Garden Flower


Teresa made this sweet little baby quilt and wanted it custom quilted. The pattern is called Summer Garden Flower. 


I tried to come up with a design that would involve the least amount of starts and stops for this block. 


I ended up starting with custom loops in the white background and quilted either a loop or meander to the next white triangle until I circled all the way around, then I filled in the rest of the flower, making sure to end up on a corner of the star in the center. From there, the design circles around the corners, and loops to the corners of the green center square. 





Thanks Teresa! Love how this one turned out.

LuAnn's The Perfect Setting


LuAnn made this beautiful version of The Perfect Setting.



For the background I quilted a paisley with an extra jiggy-jag over the top.


The diamonds each received special treatment and were custom quilted in matching thread colors.









 A look at the back.




Thanks LuAnn- what a fun pattern to quilt!
