Mary's Quilt - UPDATE

I'm so excited to announce that Mary's 'Black Stars' quilt won 1st Place in the Modern Category at the Georgetown Quilt and Stitched show over the weekend.  Mary did such an amazing job designing and piecing this quilt, it made it such a pleasure to quilt! Congrats, Mary!

Heather's Quilt

Heather pieced this amazing large scale quilt!  I loved the idea of taking patterns I would normally use on an heirloom quilt and blow them up in scale.  I really love how it turned out! 

Mary's Quilt

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this quilt!  It was such fun to work on.  Mary's amazing piecing job made this a great candidate for heirloom quilting.

Jane's Quilt

Here is a fantastically pieced sampler quilt from Jane.  There was lots of opportunity for heirloom quilting in the yellow background.  It turned out lovely.

  

Teacher Appreciation Time

The end of the school year brings the end of my daughter's time in pre-school.  I made these two quilts for her amazing teachers for all the work they've done preparing her for the big move to Kindergarten next year.  The pattern is based on Elizabeth Hartman's Fancy forest pattern.  I quilted them both with a wood theme - one a horizontal wood-grain pattern and the other a cross-grain pattern.  

Dawn's Applique Quilt

It was such fun to quilt this beautiful quilt made by Dawn.  I love the mix of feathers, crosshatch, and curves.  It turned out so lovely.

Ida's Quilt

Straight lines look great on the Violet Craft animal patterns. This paper-pieced giraffe is complimented by unevenly spaced horizontal lines.

Three Sisters Quilts

If you ever wondered what impact quilting makes on a quilt, here is a great set of examples.  These quilts were for three sisters, made with the same fabric line and the same espresso linen background fabric.

Here are all three side-by-side:
