A very pretty quilt by Peggy. I'm not sure the pictures are going to do it justice - it was very pretty when she dropped it off, and at the risk of bragging ~ the quilting turned out great....really makes the quilt!
This is the first time I've tried this particular kind of feather, and it was fun! I'll be using this one again in the future.
Sheri's quilt
I tried to mimic the brown border on the very outside edge of the quilt - then ran a vine with oak leaves down the middle since the panto used in the center of the quilt had oak leaves.
This was made for a friend from Japan who came to visit awhile back and loved her trip to Utah. They didn't know until just recently if she was OK after all the problems in Japan...but finally heard from her and she's fine.
Here is a minor miracle - this is a quilt that I actually made....don't know when the last time was I managed this! Ashley asked me to make this for Kinsey over a year ago and I finally, FINALLY got it done. (Ash threatened me that if I didn't have it done by Kinsey's birthday that she was going out and buying something!) She wanted minimal quilting, pretty much just outlining most of it...had to do more in the green area because it was too large of a space to leave unquilted - went with the crosshatching because I thought it would give a even consistency but not detract.
Notice the little upside down heart - I did that on purpose....there was a secret message there :) 
A stunning bed runner by Carla --- love, Love, LOVE it! 
the outside border has a seaweed pattern quilted into it and the light blue border, waves. Carla bought these fabrics in Hawaii and it will be a gift for her sister who lives there. 
These next two quilts were made by two sister-in-laws who went together on a quilting cruise -- how fun would that be??! This first one was a mystery quilt ~ I really like the fabric, so fun and colorful. She wanted a multi colored thread with an all over treatment. 
the back. 
See the spiderweb pieced in the center - they have a beautiful spider pin that will be attached later. 
This is a baby quilt that I FINALLY finished and sent to my niece when she had a baby. Then I had to email her and ask her to take some photos for me because I forgot to before mailing it off :/ Thanks, Janssen :) 
I'm very taken, lately, with the satin/minke combo for baby quilts - so tactually rich. 
I've been researching color ideas for my upcoming Dear Jane/Sylvia/Hannah quilt (which ever one I end up doing). These are actually Dear Hannah quilts, I believe. That's one thing that I just noticed about that design, besides the blocks being smaller, is that the background was black in the blocks which I'm really quite liking - gives a richer look to the quilt. I like the second example the best. I also didn't want to be tied down to only a few colors in the entire thing since I'll be working on this for years I'm sure and don't want to get sick of the fabrics and colors I'll be using - and I want to have full freedom to use anything out of my fun fabric stash! I have two quilt tops I would like to finish up before starting this but don't know if I want to wait :) 
A newer version with the same idea is a Sylvia's Bridal Sampler - which is taken from one of the Elm Creek Quilt novels.
Both have 6 inch blocks. Call me crazy, but this looks fun. I haven't decided which book of patterns I'd prefer to get...the Dear Jane gives you those neat triangle blocks on the outside border - but I have an emotional response to the other one since one of my oldest friends (since 5th grade) is named Sylvia....what to do :?
