Some quilting for Mom, some quilting for Me!

Mom used a panel print for the center of this quilt, then added borders.  I did all kinds of quilting on this and think it turned out rather nice!

Below are some swirls I added in irregular spaces, I stitched a large feather stitch in the wide leaf print with a funky stem and I added a meandering leafy/vine in the outer border!  A quick little figure 8 design fills in the space for the plain brown border - perfect!



And here is the quilting for Me!  I am still working (ever so slowly) on this Star Light quilt to enter in the fair this summer.  I have added quilting in the white triangular spaces surrounding the center block (well, if you look closely, I still need to finish a couple of them).  Couldn't wait to share this cuz I L O V E the quilting on this and quite frankly, I'm IMPRESSING MYSELF!  Hope you Enjoy the pics - oh, and if you'd like to see it in person, just let me know - I'd be happy to show it to you (I even allow touching which you can't do at the fair!!).  




 Thanks for stopping by...until next time...Enjoy!

Civil War Quilt

 Here is a sneak peak at another fabulous quilt made by Ann R, from North Platte and quilted by....ME!

I quilted two different motifs in the blocks - I love the quilting in the plain block and I love how you can see secondary designs appear - like the little sand dollar effect in the center of the block ( See last picture).  On the back you can see a secondary design of circles every where even though I did not quilt one single circle on this quilt.  So Fun!




 


I also love the vines on the border of the quilt - wow, what character that adds to the quilt!  I "stitched in the ditch" around all the leaves and vines, then did one row of echo quilting around them - I just love the way they turned out!  Enjoy - I'm off to work my other job now!!!
