Sharon's flower quilt

This another stunning quilt from my friend Sharon. I just love the colors and the unique setting. Absolutely gorgeous, I wish I took better pictures. I chose flower pattern for the quilting in variegated pink. Lovely.

Baby boy quilt

Just another fast an easy creation. This is a quilt for a baby boy that I made on a whim. It is bright and colorful. And of course, all about sports! It was already plenty busy, so I did meandering in white, so it does not feel overwhelming.


Auction project

I put together a table runner that was sold at a school auction. This is an amazing effort on behalf of the kids. I transferred their drawings of the birds to the blocks and embroidered by hand. I put invisible nylon thread, so it would not clash with the birds.



Sharon's quilt

My friend Sharon graced me with another one of her quilts. This one is unique. I think we changed a plan of putting it together maybe 15 times in one day. At the end we came out with a twin size quilt with the pieced borders. I put 3 leaf pattern in brown and it plays nicely with complex and busy blocks. Check out the back of the quilt, "unique" is written all over it:)


Emily's Quilt

What a busy month! Emily brought me a quilt that her mother-in-law pieced and what a wonderful job she did! In a king size quilt I don't think there was any 2 points that did not match, and did I mention flawless borders? I hope some of this perfection will somehow make it into my quilt one day. I put a new pattern, "hot coffee", in white, and I think it looks great.
