All pieced, applique and quilted by the creator and artist.

Brandie is the best! AND she is our Quilt Show Chair!

Brandie and Suzanne, her co-chair did an outstanding job

Kudos to you both for working your butts off for ASQG!!!

Another fellow blogger ~ Esther of Threads on the Floor

 Following are 3 quilts made by Esther... 

Chocolate Covered Caramel Apple Storm at Sea

 A close up of her gorgeous quilting

 (it was really hard to choose which one to post first because they are all equally amazing!)

Grandmother's Flower Pots

I didn't get a good close up of Grandmother's Flower Pots but you can see it here on Esther's Blog

 

Celtic Knot of Three Cords

  !!!WOW!!!

 As a machine quilter, the quilting is what I see first when I look at a quilt. Watching Esther's progress as a machine quilter has been inspiring for me. Not to confuse the fact that Esther has been a really good quilter for some time, her quilt (pictured below) won the Best Large Quilt ribbon at Annie's Star last quilt show 2 years ago :0)

Mariner's in a Pickle

I am proud to call both of these women my friends and am blessed to be surrounded by such talented needle artists. Their inspiration is what keeps me going, striving to become a better machine quilter.

And here are my quilts in our show...

I am proud of my Medallion made as a SAL with Lori and Randy

Birds on a Medallion

Red Feathers

My Red and White quilt

3rd week of July

My longarm quilting business is getting a great start!
Quilts completed this week...

This quilt top is made by my good friend Beckie. This is her Hawaiian quilt

All but one of the fabrics were purchased while she was visiting Hawaii.

She added the yellow batik in the center to complete her top.

Love her fabric choices and colors plus a wonderful block and pattern layout :0)

Beckie loves to use wool batting and I love the loft, it's fun to quilt on!

The quilting pattern is Tropical Garden by Designs by Deb. If you look real close you will see a Toucan bird! The flowers and leaves are perfect for the Hawaiian fabrics/theme.

I used Fantastico #5020, a variegated thread by Superior Threads.

These two quilts were finished for Sandra E...

both are quilts she made from a class with Goldie at Cathy's Sew and Vac/Honey Run Quilters.

This one is made with fabrics from Australia except the 'grout' fabric

Quilted with a design by Anne Bright ~ Sticky Buns

The swirl pattern in a cotton thread called Dogwood was understated and

added a nice texture to complement the fabric prints

and the second one made with batiks and black Kona for the grout

We chose a Dove pattern in black cotton thread.
This will be gifted to a church member, hence the stained glass and dove motifs

Annie's Star Quilt Guild is hosting an evening in September for local servicemen and women. We are busy making Quilts of Honor for the event. I donated my time and quilted two of them this week, this one also made by Sandy E, a guild member

 Quilted with an edge to edge panto of Stars in white thread

 This one was brought to me by Millie,
coordinator and volunteer for Community Service.

I quilted this one with a new panto I found at Sweet Dreams Quilt Studio,
designed by Kim Diamond. She sells a complete QOV bundle for $1.00! Sew nice! 

Millie dropped off one more when she picked up this one on Friday.

Note: these quilts are all being made thru our Community Service program, each of us donate our time and materials. There are several longarm quilters participating along with home machine quilters, piecers and binders all working on these wonderful quilts! My friends and longarmers, Esther of Threads on the Floor and Gail are also working on a few.

Also worked on valances.

It's heating up outside this weekend. We picked veggies this morning from our garden. Now off to work on my quilt projects, Lori and Randy's Medallion quilt and Grandmother's Choice and make tomato sauce! Check back later this weekend at Ramblin' Rows to see my progress :0)

Enjoy the weekend and take time to put in a few stitches! 

Thank you for visiting!
