Panel quilt - Call of the Wild by Hoffman fabrics

I found this amazing panel in the Pacific Fabrics and just have to have it. I made it into a baby quilt and it just looks darling and a bit on the wild side. I paired it up with the Disappearing Hourglass Block from the Missouri Star quilt company (check them out on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXggafOP230). Had lots of fun with this quilt. Quilted it with clear nylon thread using simple meandering pattern.

Restoring a treasure: antique basket quilt

This lovely quilt came in in a very sorry shape. Quilt top was hand stitched around 1930s using cotton and linen scrap and was recently washed by the new owner, which unraveled some of the blocks to shreds. I was ready to give up, but my friend Sharon made replacement blocks using reproduction fabrics and brought this beauty back to life. I have densely quilted it and it should last for another 100 years. I am very excited about this project, the end result brings joy to my heart.

Tshirt quilt

This has been a busy time for t-shirt quilts. This is just another good example of what you can do with the pile of t-shirts:

I have used clear thread on the top, so it does not clashes with high contrast between the blocks.

Mary's Quilt - We plant the seeds, but He provides the harvest

Mary brought me a gorgeous needle turn applique king size quilt. Most of the "plain" sections of it was finished with the computer, but the applique part was finished using free hand technique using my brand new micro handles! Soooo exciting. I love this quilt, I cannot even imagine how long did it take to piece this masterpiece. Also who would think that you can put 2 layers of Warm and Natural? It has been a learning and fun process for me.

 

Frozen Quilt

It must be a Winter again. My younger one, Yasmin, is a big Frozen fan, so she got Elsa and Anna quilt for her Birthday. I found all the fabrics at the Pacific Fabrics in SODO and it was a big hit. I am working on a few other adaptations, because I found Olaf fabric at Joanns. I put Breath of God pattern on it in white and I think it came out simple, but elegant. And the most important, customer was very satisfied:)

Jenna's T-shirt quilt

What a wonderful idea to turn all your memories into a beautiful and practical gift for yourself. Jenna brought me 20 t-shirts from her past and left with a lovely quilt. I used black for sashing and polyfil for top thread. Reduce, reuse and recycle at its best:)

Baby girl quilt

I had a cute quilt top for sometime now. And of course it is a baby season!!! So my husband decided that he really likes to give a quilt to his friend (his baby girl actually). Did I mention that he decided 3 days before he left for a project?! So 72 hours later, quilt it quilted, bound and I even had 2 hours of sleep before giving my husband a ride to the airport. Some people call it crazy, I call it love for quilting:) Anyway, lesson learned: never let your husband take pictures for the blog.
