Blue quilt by Melanie

Melanie envisioned a quilt for her daughter graduation, but was running short on time. I helped her to put together a twin sized quilt that has something old (cut outs of the baby blanket), something new (fabrics with tennis rackets) and something blue (pretty much the rest of the quilt). I doctored a pattern from the magazine and came up with a twin quilt made from 20 fat quarters. For the long arm I used "star" pattern to connect that star pieces from the crib size quilt. It will make a sure hit in the dorm.

American Girl quilt

After visiting American Girl store I was very inspired to make my own American Girl quilt. Miriam picked up a fabric and the design, and we put it together in the matter of hours. I was very thrilled with the result. I quilted "busy bees" pattern in pink. I think I might be making a matching twin size quilt:)

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.
