A rather dark photo--darn camera is not the highest quality. This is a quilt top is destined to be a tree skirt, hence the lack of quilting in the center of the quilt; it'll be cut out and bound. This is an all over ribbons pattern, a fun celebratory quilt pattern!
Blurry sideways penguins. Did I mention the poor photo quality? I hung it up on the wall to photograph, then realized it was sideways. Whoops. This is a quilt top I finished for my mother in law, and I think it's destined for a nephew who loves penguins. :)
This is a smaller quilt top that was made by Joy and her mother, Violet for a friend who is ill. You may note that it's very similar to the previous quilt from Joy--many of the same fabrics were used in both. It's the perfect lap size for snuggling under during treatments.
Go Cougs! This is a shop sample for Judy J., owner of Thread Mongers. She asked me to use two different threads for this quilt top from her stock. One was a nice poly/rayon from Superior Threads in a colorway called "Lava". It was really nice! The other was a glittery thread that was a bit of a pain to work with. I don't know who made it and I wouldn't trash their name publicly anyway. Other people may have a much better experience than I did, and who knows--maybe with more adjustments, I could make it work on my machine better, too.
Lauri's quilt for Laura made with Laura's favorite colors--purple and green. Quilted with loopy hearts in a quick, all-over pattern.
A Christmas sampler for Kathy, quilted with small scrollwork all over, echoing the subtle print in the background fabric.
It's been a busy few weeks here. Here's to many more!
