Pretty As You Please

A friend asked me to make this quilt for her last November. I said I would but wouldn't make any guarantees as to when it would get done! Good thing I did that! Life got crazy and fabric short!! I finally finished and it's on its' way to her house. I hope it keeps her warm many nights! The pattern is Pretty As You Please by Daisy and Dell and the panto is Sweet Hearts by urbanelementz.com

New Year's Mystery Quilt 2010

I love being able to learn more about longarm quilting from Cindy Roth! This was her latest class...Not Quite Traditional Quilt, the 2010 New Year's Mystery Quilt. It challenged me way beyond what I would have even attempted on my own!

Ruth's Quilt

My mother-in-law has been asking me to make her a quilt for awhile now. This fall she said that she would really like me to make that quilt for her before she dies...she's in her early 80's. So I guess that was a pretty strong hint that I need to get it done! I asked my husband's siblings if they were interested in a Christmas present and if they paid for the supplies I would do the work, so the pressure was on! She wanted something with stars and gave me a napkin and piece of fabric with colors she liked...and some yarn a very specific blue she wanted and I began the hunt. The quilt is from the Gathering Friend's book Quilter's Piece and is the one on the cover. I added an additional strip to the border to make it a bit bigger. I quilted it using the pantograph Antique Lace from urban elementz. It was quite the learning experience making such a big project! I think she was happy with the results!
