Ann's likes Quilt of Valor for Mayor Burns I have worked for a municipality in Alabama for 29 years, serving as City Clerk for the last 20 of those years. I have worked for Mayor Burns the entire time. He has often admired the quilts I have made and gifted and asked one day when was he getting his. He is a Vietnam Veteran so I made him this beauty in honor of his military service and his service to the City of Southside. To say the least he was pleasantly surprised.

By plquilter66 9 LIKES | 1017 VIEWS Sonora: A Contemporary Southwestern Quilt I saw this quilt on display at a quilt show in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I thought it was quite striking! The quilt was designed by J. Michelle Watts (www.jmichellewatts.com). The pattern includes three sizes and two different options for making a six color quilt or a two color quilt. I really like working with half square triangles and this pattern is fun to do. I used Modern Wave 3 from Urban Elementz as the edge to edge quilting design.

I used left over wool batting and fabric from my stash to add to the blocks. I had been struggling with quilting swirls, so this was a fun, low pressure opportunity to improve them.

These friends recently got married and wanted to give my brother a gift. The gift was a beautiful Persian Rug to take home with him. He thought of a wedding gift to give them when he returned. He requested flowers intertwined throughout wedding rings. I now need to free motion quilt feathers and fillers.

In the past month I have sent out four baby quilts and my "collection/selection" was getting low, so I made this to replenish my stash. Everyone gets a baby quilt--whether it is your first or your fourth. LOL Aqua seems a good choice to keep it gender neutral. I experimented with variegated threads in shades of blues. The lesson learned is that it requires expertise fmq which I have not achieved. It is still a fun quilt. By Audioadi 20 LIKES | 607 VIEWS Yellow Black and White Quilt Using my stash! By youngbb 7 LIKES | 730 VIEWS Kelly's Quilt A graduation gift for my niece....I loved making this quilt, simple and fun to make. My favorite part of this quilt is the backing fabric...I found it at Hancock's Paducah a couple months ago and knew it was perfect for this quilt.., it doesn't coordinate with the front as well as I'd like but, the words were exactly right for the occasion. .

She was so surprised and grateful and loved the color choice By Dianequilts 13 LIKES | 3687 VIEWS Slip Knot Pattern by Nancy Zieman, enlarged. FMQ inspired by Angela Walters. Done on my domestic Bernina 1130. Queen size. Front is Christmas fabric, back is geese and plain green, so the quilt can be used all year. The fabric has been in my stash for 20 years. It is time to clear out the stash and let people enjoy the quilts. By GrrannyH 4 LIKES | 717 VIEWS «12...220221222223224225226...248249»
