Dresden Plates, Pumpkins and more

Linda D made this beautiful Dresden Plate quilt 

Made with machine and hand applique with a gold sashing

Lots of color in 30's repros!

Great backing fabric, an Alexander Henry

Gina block is a digital quilting design from Sweet Dream Studios

A fun spiral design in the center with feather and swirl designs

quilted on the Dresden Plates

framed with a petite flower frame that complemented the 30's repro prints

and created a secondary design in the sashing and corners of the plates

Thank you Linda!

Finished in October, the second Halloween print quilt for Donna

Same prints as the first but we quilted this one very different

In place of the scull and crossbones, this one is more about the pumpkins!

 with a pumpkin border design in black thread

That spider web backing glows in the dark!

 1/4 inch outline stitches in the sashing

 and a big pumpkin with a carved face in each of the nine crazy quilt blocks.

Hard to see from a photo, it showed up really well quilted on wool batting

A few more finished and back in the hands of their creators recently...

A Photo Memory quilt made by Betty D

Pam and I love the star border Betty came up with surrounding the blocks

Quilted with a Star Banner in the outer border and SID around the blocks

This quilt is made by Melanie for her son. 

All organic cottons, cotton batting and cotton thread :0)
Quilted design is Flamingo Sunset by Anne Bright

Quilts for Delores... four of them!

Delores brings her quilts with her from Arizona

when she comes to visit her sister here in Chico!

These are Stack and Whacks! One of three, this one did not have borders

 The back of the quilt with a floral e3e quilted on Quilter's Dream Puff Poly batting

 A second, also in purples with a bright yellow and green border

 Fun to see the floral fabrics make a different kaleidoscope design in each block

Quilted with a different floral e2e, this one is called Escargot from Anne Bright

#3 in a hot pink floral fabric set in green

This one will catch someone's attention!

 Quilted with an e2e of Hibiscus flowers by Sweet Dreams

Quilt #4 for Delores was different from the first three

 Delores requested a design with borders
to make it special for a family member

We choose this floral pattern, also from Sweet Dreams

All four were quilted with Puff Poly

There are a few more but I'll save them for a new post.

One for Beckie that I just loved and had fun doing a custom design

Two finished for Cheryl P and one for Phoebe

and one with curved edges for Faye B that is in Goldie's hands for binding

I have another quilt for Beckie with the cutest birds waiting it's turn 

as well as one just finished for Debbie D, a sneak peek...

 of Debbie's baskets. Pam's Swoon is on the frame right now

Busy busy busy ~ Thank you, thank you, thank you

Love the diversity of all the quilts I get to 'frost' is amazing

Frosting, a term Mary uses

That would be Mary of Quilt Hallow, a longarmer that does amazing work

frosting (quilting) customer quilts on her longarm machine :0)

Check out her work as well

Thanks for stopping by :0)
