Modern yet traditional for Dorrie

A Modern Maple Leaf quilt 
Made with large HST blocks which make up four maple leaves. 


We decided that the quilting needed to reflect the same... traditional yet modern. 
Sew the quilting has straight line combined with feathers 
split between the HSTs as well as the solid blocks. 


The feathers came together in a nice mirrored design in the center of the quilt 
which was one of our goals for this quilt.  
I also quilted the feathers on all of the edges of the quilt 
to create a scallop effect. It worked out great!


Great fabrics! 


A second quilt for Dorrie...

This quilt is made from a Jaybird pattern named Hugs & Kisses 





This quilt has a very different feel with a soft pallet of fabrics in pinks. 
Mostly prints with roses so...


this one is quilted with Zen Roses
Pink thread, wool batting and a pink backing.


A very sweet romantic quilt 
Thank you Dorrie! 

Dorrie and I took the same classes at Sister's this month 
for A Quilter's Affair. We had so much fun. Both classes were wonderful! 
One with Scott Hansen of Blue Nickle Studios and another from 
John Q. Adams aka Quilt Daddy

More on the quilts we made later :0) 
Enjoy your weekend 
Stay cool! Tot ziens, Jo

Saturday Morning Post ~ Samples for PIQF

Not allot to picture this morning. 
Two sample quilts for Honey Run Quilters
that will be going to Pacific International Quilt Festival in October

Dorrie made this beauty! Love the pieced borders made of silk
surrounding a Disappearing Nine Patch

Quilted with Autumn Fancy 

This one left the studio before any pix were taken.
This pic is from Honey Run's Facebook page...

Amanda pieced this warm and fuzzy quilt
using Woolies flannels and a soft flannel backing.
Quilted with wool batting and a Signature cotton thread in Gold,
this quilt is all natural! Simple 1/4 inch quilting. 
Beautiful Amanda, well done! 

Thank you ladies!

In the works are two custom quilts, one is almost finished
 with only start and stop tails to bury.
The second is on my frame that I will be working on today.
Pix of these two will be shared after our quilt show.
To see them sooner come to our show and see them in real life
along with over 200
quilts made by members of Annie's Star Quilt Guild! 

Tickets for our Opportunity Quilt will be available at the show
Good eats, lots of vendors are coming too :0)

So happy that Autumn is here
Enjoy your weekend
Tot Ziens, Jo
