Floral Table Topper

This quilt is one my mother in law made out of a jelly roll of Thimble Blossoms (the same fabric as this quilt, but in the other color line). She bought some extra yardage for the appliques.

I outline stitched the appliques, and did an all-over floral/leaf/loop design.

You can see the pattern a lot better here in this picture of the backing fabric. I used a whole wheat colored thread. My MIL is hoping to enter this into our local quilt show in August.


Personalized Bedspread

This quilt is a bedspread that a client brought me to have quilted. I love the large ric-rac flower and the monogram.

Using an eggshell colored thread I quilted a medium meander across the quilt, without going onto the appliques.

The backing fabric is a solid off-white/cream fabric.


Monster Truck Playmat

Is this not the cutest playmat you have EVER seen?! I love this panel quilt! In fact, my little boy loved it, and I'll probably have to buy it for him (trucks and cars are totally his thing right now).

I did a lot of outline quilting on this panel. Really, that's about all you can do without detracting from the cuteness of it.
In the outer printed borders I quilted around the tires, and then quilted straight lines along the left side of the lights border and the right side of the checkered border.


On the cars and Monster Trucks I stitched along the outlines of the major pieces of the picture.
You can't really tell in the picture, but in real life the quilting along the dents of the car really add depth to the panel.

I used black colored thread. I wish I had taken a picture of the backing fabric. It was tires, similar to the tires in the border of the panel. I'd put a link to a picture in here, but I can't find it on the web.

I Spy With My Little Eye.....

This is such a fun idea for a quilt! It is a shop sample for Gracie Lou's. The lady who made it wanted something really simple and all-over, so I did a meander.

I used a poppy red colored thread on top, and an artillery red colored thread in the bobbin.

Clementine

This cute quilt is made out of Clementine by Me and My Sister Designs for moda. It is so cute!

I quilted a medium meander in a cream colored thread.

Border Quilting


A lady brought this one to have the outer borders quilted. She had tied the center area of the quilt, but thought that it needed something in the borders. I quilted a small/medium meander in a blue thread.

Colton's Angels donation quilt 2

This is another quilt that some ladies in a local church group made. My MIL gave it to me to quilt for Colton's Angels, the humanitarian group I belong to. Because it was already put together, I quilted it on my domestic machine.
This picture is really hard to see, but I quilted large rectangles, stitching in the ditch. I used a natural colored thread.
