It's off the frame.

Lots of ruler work in the piano keys!  Quilting the triangles and leaving the center on point squares alone really made them pop. Now it's ready to be trimmed up and binding put on. It was a lot of work but a fun quilt.

Almost there.

Almost finished with the decorative thread embellishment. Just the crosshatching on the inner border. Then it's time for the border work. 

Flower Power

The next quilt is a small one but full of colors and a flower border. I will be doing lots of ruler work, stitch in the ditch and freemotion quilting. My client finished her quilt top years ago and is excited to see it finished. 

Almost finished with the ruler work. The border flowers will be outlined and some designwork done in the blocks.Will be using a variegated thread in the blocks. Isn't it cute? So cheery. Again, I tend to like the bright colors. How about you?

I will post a picture when it's done. 

Gold and Teal Quilt

It's always fun to see the before and after pictures. My client

decided on an all over end to end design called "feathered curls". I used a dark teal glide thread top and bottom. I Love the backing of gold with the teal thread!

Two Sisters Quilt

Having too much fun with this quilt. It's all ruler work and free motion quilting. I love how it is coming along. I find ruler work to be very enjoyable! Stitch in the ditch work done with sew fine thread. The cream work is using Glide in the top and matching sew fine in the bobbin. I used two layers of Hobbs 80/20 batting. 

This is the finished quilt a few minutes after removing from the machine. I was blown away by what was in front of me. To say I was thrilled is an understatement. Can't believe how pretty it came out.

 And then I turned it over. Wow. 

Welcome to my home in the dead of winter! Lots of snow to shovel. The driveway and road is actually plowed. But I have a very long walkway to the front door to keep clear.

Placemats

This pattern for placemats was the perfect fun thing to do today. They were so easy to make on the long arm. They would make a very nice gift if you can get the fabric on sale. These are for me.
