wordless wednesday

quilt monday

Finally finished boy2's quilt binding on the weekend; it's been just too hot to spend time under a warm cozy quilt finishing miles of binding.

I couldn't be happier with how this turned out. And the quilting. I love how the quilting works with the quilt.

I used a dark navy thread and a snuggly flannel for the backing.

Isn't the dead grass lovely? lol

sometimes

All you need is a spontaneous gift for a friend to bring back your sewing mojo.

client quilts

I've been working hard trying to get all my client quilts finished so I can take most of the summer off. So far that hasn't worked out as well as I had hoped but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.

Bonnie and I met a few years ago at a quilting class and she quickly became one of my favorite clients. She pieced this lovely quilt and had me do some custom work on it.

I quilted snowflakes in the squares of the center star

I did a simple water stitch in the remainder of the quilt background.

Bonnie also pieced this next one.

quilted with Featheration

Such a stunning quilt!

Lastly, Jean wanted to make a quilt for her daughter Anna. The two of them picked out the fabrics and Jean started sewing. Neither one of them liked where the quilt was going so Jean started over and ended up with this.

This quilt was huge!! Jean and Anna wanted it custom quilted; it took me almost an entire week to get it done lol.

I ditched the entire quilt. In the floral snowballs; I did a daisy. In all the 'solid' snowballs, I quilted some lines.

Straight lines and water stitching in the borders.

Some of the blocks were done cathedral window style.

It was so fun to do. And Anna, and Jean! absolutely loved it.

it makes sense

That since I made Boy2 a new quilt when he was off in Mexico this past March, that I start quilting it when he is off in the Yukon this week.
