Scrappy Kaffe!

Three quilts for Cheryl are quilted and ready for trimming. Cheryl loves Kaffe Fassett prints and has been using them for some time. She used lots of her scraps to make these guys... 

Wonderful way to make a scrappy Kaffe!

Quilted with a modern geometric design ~ Mid Century by Patricia Ritter. I followed the flow of the triangles to line up to the flow of the circles in the quilting. Lots of circles on the back too. Quilted with two Fantastico variegated threads (love!) Rainbow on the front and a pink to coral variegated on the back, with Quilter's Dream Blend batting.

More printelicious fabrics...

 Another fun scrappy quilt Cheryl made with one of Theresa Wright's patterns

 Quilted with a new to me pattern with lots of swirl and pearls

Rapunzel is a design by Anne Bright

 Quilted with three different Fantastico threads from Superior :0) Fun

and the wonderful backing! Yumm

The third is a great mix of color and fabrics. The deep gold, magenta and dark brown all played well together. I had the perfect Fantastico variegated magenta thread but opted for an Omni thread ~ Vanilla Wafer. There was so much print going on, a dark thread would have only gotten in the way! The gold thread was only quilted in the center field. In the dark brown border I used a light variegated thread, Lava, another thread from Superior. It's a thread they are discontinuing. It takes a larger needle for the 3 ply and a bit of fussing with the tension but it was well worth it! Love my Innova!

Quilting design in the center field is Quill b2b, also from Anne Bright

 and a border design ~ Quill with Flower that is part of a set 

(there are 4 different borders designed to frame her Quill b2b)

 The two fabric backing is folded against the front altho hard to see. 

There are allot of prints going on in this beauty!

Thank you Cheryl!

Quilting for Phoebe, Sandy and Cheryl

November quilting ~ This one is pieced by Phoebe

 Very Modern!

 Love all the fabrics, all set in a white background

 Flamingo Sunset quilted with a variegated Fantastico thread

A fun digital quilting design from Anne Bright

If you look close you will see Flamingos!

The feather plume is the tail :0)

 Backing fabric is a green and white polka dot

on which I ran a different variegated Fantastico thread of green and white

Fun quilt! Thank you Phoebe

One for Sandy E

Sandy's piecing is absolutely perfect!

Beautiful fabrics in rose prints

 Quilted with a new pattern from Donna at One Song Needle Arts

This one is called Zen Roses

  Here it is on the rose print backing. Love the coverage,
soft lines and the roses are beautiful

This pattern is the perfect replacement for another rose design

that I loved to run on the Statler, however, that designer chooses

not to offer her designs in a format that will work on Auto Pilot.

Thank you Donna at One Song for going to Digi-Tech! 

Phoebe and Sandy are 'regulars' at Goldie's sew days

along with Kathy T, Judy P, Karen, Lauren and many more

Often I meet with them there.
Seeing how much fun they have, I joined in and spent the day with

The Goldie Girls!

We had the best day while I worked on Amaretto Cottage

They meet at Honey Run Quilters in Cathy's classroom, Chico, CA :0)

A little more catch-up, two quilts for Cheryl P

also a modern style with lots of colorful batiks

quilted with a design from Sweet Dream Studios
with a Glide thread ~ Verbena

 

 and Cheryl's 2nd quilt...

Lots of squares of Kaffe Fassett fabrics! 

 with this absolutely drop dead gorgeous backing!

Quilted with a Kaffe Floral quilting design
with Glide threads, gold on the back and yellow on the top

Thank you to all three really good quilters :0)
I enjoy and appreciate quilting for you!

Almost finished with Pam's Swoon and Debbie's Basket quilts

Coming up on my frame next is a quilt for Beckie

This one is For the Birds! 

A good use of my design wall is to put up the next customer's quilt top while I work.

It gives me a little extra time to get to know the quilt better

and I know exactly how this one will be quilted!

With a design from Kim at Sweet Dreams Studio

Little Tweet

and yes, it has birds!
When finished will post along with pix of Beckie's previous quilt, as promised.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. I, for one, have a flu bug and am a little 'under the weather'. Had plans to attend Sacrament's River City Quilt show tomorrow with Brandie, Karen and Lauren. Saw a few pix posted by Quilt Inspiration this evening. I will be missing a good quilt show! Went to last year's and it was really good. However, a day of rest will be good. We had some rain this week, also very good. Leaves are falling in earnest now and winter is coming. Actually it has arrived in most of the states already! How is it that time passes much too quickly these daze? Enjoy your Sunday. Thanks for stopping by ;0) Groetjes, Jo
