Quilts

Two fun quilts from Sue. She's one of my really prolific quilters!

The backs turned out really fun on both of these quilts :)

Quilts

Another beautiful baby quilt by Louise.
Darn, can't see the quilting - she brought me a picture of how to quilt it and it was very pretty.

The next 4 baby quilts are by Colleen. Every time she brings me a load of quilts she says these are the last ones, she's getting too old to keep making them -- then several months later here she comes with some more!

Wedding quilt

Bobbie made this quilt for her oldest grandchild's wedding. I love quilts in these colors, they are so striking.

Because of time constraints I couldn't wait until a better time of day to try and get these photos taken before returning the quilt. Too bad the quilting isn't showing up well, it turned out pretty.

The bride likes zebra - check out this backing! Love it!

T-shirt quilt

This is a quilt for a high school graduating senior boy. His mother paid someone else to put it together (she doesn't sew), and then it was brought to me to quilt and bind it. I discovered a good portion of the blocks were the backs of the T-shirts, which opened up some interesting spaces for quilting. The mom put together a list of her son's interests and I filled the empty blocks with words and images from the list. It was a bit challenging, and took a while, but it was much more interesting than just meandering over the whole thing (which was her original request.)

I had to take these pictures in the evening - the customer was coming over in a few minutes and I hadn't taken my photos of the quilt yet, so it's kind of hard to see. The boy was into dirt racing, so this block had the logo of Kawasaki, and the name Suzuki and the model of his bike.

This was a jersey from playing on a church basketball team.

Gives you an idea of what I did.

Garden Trellis Quilt

These are such pretty quilts - this one comes from Vicki

Again, these white backings sure showcase the quilting beautifully!

Lone Star and Doggie quilt

Here is the last of those 20 heirloom family quilts that were given to me to quilt. This family has patiently waited for me to do all of these, and now they can have their party - where I understand the quilts will be distributed.

Sue brought me four of these cute doggie baby quilts - she needed one done up here quickly and the other three I have a bit more time to get to. I took a number of pictures so I could remember how I did this first one when I'm ready to load the other three!

I needed to stitch down some pieces that were adhered with wonder-under. My husband was kind enough to point out a place where my stitching had wobbled a little bit, if he had any idea how tricky it is to keep a straight and even stitch when going around something with a longarm machine!!

Notice the sun and cloud in the sky, and the shingles on the roof.

She just wanted some easy all-over treatment on the borders.

Sunbonnet Sue & table runner

An antique Sunbonnet Sue quilt - from that heirloom collection I've been working on - (only one more to go!)
Whoops -thought I got them all turned - guess not, oh well - you get the idea.

A fun summer table runner by Tauni.

Used "Leaf Pile" panto pattern.
