Aunt Karen's Houses

My husband's Aunt Karen also left this beauty with me to quilt for her. I had so much fun quilting it! It challenged me creatively, as I wanted to do something different from my normal thing. I couldn't find just one color that worked with everything in it, so I ended up using 7 different colors of thread! (I KNOW!)
Below: Here are some of the different blocks in the quilt.









I used navy blue, A&E Permacore scarlet red, eggshell, whole wheat, dark myrtle (green), black, and Signature 100% cotton scarlet red (in the bobbin when the scarlet red was used on top).

Aunt Karen's "Women's Voices"

My husband's Aunt Karen brought me this quilt a few months ago. She lives out of state, and only asked that I had it done in time for her to show it at the end of July.
I kept the quilting on this one really simple: Mostly stitch-in-the-ditch in the blocks. Below are some of my favorite blocks.







I used a whole wheat colored thread. In the outer border I did a loose feather. In the sashing between the blocks I did a squiggly line.


Cowboy Boots and Lassos

I've done quilts for this lady before, but she brought me this one a few weeks ago to do. Again, sorry it's taken me so long to get pictures up!
In the center I did a loop with stars.


In the border I did cowboy boots and lassos.
(I freehanded the cowboy boots.) I used a whole wheat colored thread.


Stars and Planes

My mother-in-law has had this cute one for a while, too.
Using a yellow thread I quilted stars and loops across the whole quilt.



Appliqued Baby Girl Quilt

This is a cute little baby girl quilt that my mother-in-law has had made for a while, and wanted me to quilt up for her. The applique is all turned under and hand stitched down. WOW!
Using an eggshell colored thread I quilted loopy flowers allover.

It turned out super cute!




Baby Girl Panel Quilt

A lady brought me this super-cute flannel panel quilt to quilt.
I did squiggly lines around the panel blocks, and outlined the main pieces of the panels.







In the border I did large hearts and flowers with loops connecting it all.

The back was a cute matching flannel, too. I used Old Rose colored thread.







Strippy Baby Quilt

First, I would like to apologize for my prolonged absence. I have been on vay-cay for a while and have been playing catch-up at work since I've been back. That being said, on to the quilts!!

A lady brought me this cute little baby quilt to quilt for her. It is strippy, and has different sizes of rick-rack sewn at various intervals.

I did something different in each section. Below: all-over heart design.
