Customer Quilts September 2014

I am trying something new in an effort to post more regularly on this little blog of mine. From here on out I vow to post at least once a month to give a sampling of the customer quilts that I have worked on the previous month.  September was an especially nice quilting month for me. These photos will be my proof!

 Love, love, love this gray and yellow Jelly Filled quilt! Another classic design by Camille at Thimbleblossoms. It quilted up better than I even imagined!

 My favorite part of this quilt are the figure eights in the solid triangles!

 Christmas! Yay! I loved the trees in the border of this panel quilt.

 This is a shop sample for Gracie Lou's. The quilt pattern is Marmalade Sky by Abbey Lane Quilts. It will be getting a large 3-D flower in the center!

I was lucky enough to be given another Rain Check quilt. Another Thimbleblossoms favorite. I have loads of photos of a previous one I quilted here.

Kristin Roylance of Cute Quilt Patterns sends me awesome stuff to quilt all of the time. These strawberries are so cute! I  may have mentioned before, but I'll tell you again about Kristin's fabulous book Cute Quilts for Kids. It is fill of quilts for kids with 3-D embellishments. Check it out!

The next three are table runners or bench pillows. I love quilting these because they are so fast!

I think these three are all Kimberbell designs.

Cute throw size quilt. I didn't get the pattern or fabric of this one.

Ghastlies meets Thimbleblossoms!

It was really cool to get this Hannah's Flower Garden quilt! I designed this quilt a few years back for my niece. I also made one for my daughter. My sister then marketed this pattern with her pattern company for a while. If you are interested in the pattern, send me an email.

Rain Check Quilt {Machine Quilting}

 It is raining hard outside. Really hard. If it stops, I might make it to the grocery store. In the meantime I have this Rain Check quilt on my mind. I quilted it for Ashley last week. I am always thrilled when my customers bring me a Thimbleblossoms quilt. I love Camille's style and enjoy every minute of adding the final quilting touch to her quilt designs.

 I decided to brush the dust off this blog to show off all of the background quilting designs I did in this quilt. I used almost every back ground design that I could think of.

 Starting from the white background, and working clockwise, i used the following designs: horizontal puddle lines, crackle, daisies, and straight vertical lines.

 Starting at the blue block and working clockwise: ribbon stipple, scallops (clamshells), vertical lines with curved ends, tight loops.

 Starting at the upper left: horizontal scroll, vines, peacock feathers, and horizontal stripe.

 Starting at the upper left and working clockwise: Greek Key, chevron, spirals, and honestly, I can't see what is on that last one. ;0)

 Starting at the yellow block, and working clockwise ending in the center: ribbon stipple, crackle, spiral, vertical wavy line, echo stipple, random wavy horizontal line, spiral, wavy horizontal line, and tight circle loops.

 We are going to work top to bottom, left to right on this one. Let's skip the navy block though. I don't remember what I did in that one. The next one has vertical lines with curved ends, peacock feathers. Row 2: basket weave, horizontal lines and scrolls, loops. Row 3: large pebbles, feathery spirals, horizontal lines with curved ends.

 Top row: horizontal lines with curved ends, spiral, diagonal wavy lines. Row 2: I don't know what is on the flowered block, clouds, spirals and pebbles. Row 3; diagonal wavy line, waves and spirals, and stipple.

And last, my favorite shot of the q hilt. I love the scallops on that yellow block. And the chevron back there on the light blue block. Which is your favorite?
