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.

Tracy's Quilt

I was helping Tracy with an auction quilt. 24 kids tried their hand in designing quilt squares and it turned out very unusual, but very attractive at the same time. I used Polyfil on the top and white on the bottom. If you wonder what those words are, they are "likes" of the 3rd graders (and one person does like school!). Great project and I hope it will sell.

Canuck's Quilt

This is my best quilt yet (mostly because it has 50 embroidered squares). Blue thread on top and bottom. Pictures speak for themselfs. It will be a while until I will make another one. I have put fleece on the back and it was acting funny, but at the end it all worked out.
