Baltimore Beauty by Judy

Custom quilted for Judy P 

Judy's needle turn applique is gorgeous with 3D flowers 

Beautiful!!! 

Perfect fabric choice for the pineapples... love it!

Here you can see some of the dimensional work that Judy did

Choice was to do a simple fast echo type fill. Borders are quilted with a feather, literally done with a Quill design as a fill on the busy paisley fabric. 

Batting is Quilter's Dream Machine Blend 
Quilted with Omni in the borders and sashing 
All of the blocks are quilted with SoFine50 to match the background fabric. 

Thank you Judy!

Judy P ~ ASQG 2015 quilt show

Aunt Bea's Parlor by Judy P

Judy's sweet vintage quilt, hand embroidered and 1930's reproduction prints.

The perfect combo :0)

Judy exhibited two quilts in the show quilted at Moonbear's studio.

Yea it's Friday! 

It feels like an extra busy week because I've been catching up on posting pix of quilts all of this week. I am working on custom quilts that will be posted when finished. Today's post are all quilts that were finished the first week of June...

This very cute wall hanging is made and hand embroidered by Judy P

1930s prints and colors

Custom quilted with a Daisy border and corner design

Daisies added to the centers of the alternate or corner blocks
depending on how you look at the layout

The border/corner design worked really well with Judy's quilt

The stems of the Daisies filling the negative space 

that connected with the off white border fabric.

A heart with scroll design was added in what became the pieced inner border.

SID around the embroidered blocks

Each basket is different, beautiful embroidery work by Judy!

Maybe not to period but Daisies are a nice complement to the 1930s prints, IMHO.

Thank you Judy

Your wall hanging is beautiful! 

This is a quilt made by Beckie, her first with batiks! 

 Love the batik border fabric :0)

Quilted design is Autumn Fancy by One Song Needle Arts

An e2e that I sized and laid out to repeat with the blocks
with the goal of adding texture to this quilt.

 The fabric in this block is also the backing fabric

Quilted with a variegated Fantastico thread 

that had all the colors of the batiks in this quilt top. 

Thank you Beckie

Last, but certainly not least, is the last quilting finished on the 2nd

Merry Merry Snowman quilt

The first one is Karen's and this second one finished is made by Dottye

 Friends, they both did this BOM from Bunny Hill Designs

Close ups of Dottye's blocks

Beads, ribbon embellishments and a little more embroidery will be added

to finish these two in plenty of time for Christmas!

Well done ladies! Thank you

I'm pretty sure that catches us up with quilts 

quilted in April, May and the first week of June

Thank you for your patience, including customers that have quilts waiting to be quilted as well. Due to recent events my schedule and turn around time has fallen even further behind. If anyone is not able to wait and would like to take their name off my list, it's OK! I totally understand and I am fine with it because at this point making up time is pretty much impossible. I do ask that you let me know. Life is too short to stress over getting a quilt finished :0) TIA ~ New quilting work orders will be scheduled for January 2016.

Have a wonderful weekend, take some stitches!

Thank you Judy

Coming up for this week is a quilt top made by Kelly

Enjoy your week

Can you just hear Cary Grant (OK dating myself again ;0)

I had the best week! Several quilts completed this week, making progress and most important, a dent in the number of quilts waiting to be quilted. Yipee!!! A few pix... these are quilts made by Judy P, a guild member and we share the same birthday!  :0)

A baby quilt that will be traveling to Alaska soon. Judy picked this one up this week along with a second quilt she made for big sister that will also go to Alaska...

These prints are so cute and very much Spring. Don't know it for a fact but I bet she picked up these fabrics from Honey Run Quilters in Chico. Theresa made a store sample I quilted for her from these prints. Love them! Here are some close ups of Judy's quilts...

Quilted with Summer Buzz e2e

Little one is quilted with bubbles, as requested by Judy, is backed with pink Minkee and the second she left up to me. I quilted a mix of bugs and flowers called Summer Buzz.

Something I promised to share earlier are pix of the mermaid Judy made... 

 Isn't she wonderful! Her name is Shelly!

Here she is sitting on a small sample quilt I made with a batik print backing with seahorses. They were meant for each other! Both of these items will be traveling as well, very soon to Texas.

Judy was a vendor at our guild's last quilt show. That is where I found Shelly among many more gorgeous dolls that Judy makes. Shelly had two mermaid sisters that went home with Jill and Brandie. Thank you Judy! Enjoy your weekend with family :0)

Also finished Carol's quilt, made progress on the Kim Diehl quilt, one for Beth in Oroville, a breast cancer donation quilt for Betty and another store sample for Theresa at Honey Run Quilters. Pix later. Blogger is not playing nice and photos are taking forever to download. For now will leave you with a pic and progress on Amaretto Cottage.

Can you see something I goofed on the layout?

Enjoy your weekend!

Two quilts this week

Customer quilts finished this week...

Linda E made this gorgeous quilt top! Love the sparkle of the little blue and white nine patches. Border is a Paisley print so we choose a Paisley panto to quilt this beauty. 

And the backing with a close up of the quilting design...

I've been quilting for Linda a little over two years. It's nice to see first hand how she has gained confidence in her skills and has grown into a very talented quilter! Her piecing is perfect!

Thank you Linda!

This is a fun baby quilt for Judy P. First quilt done for Judy, a member of our guild, ASQG. We also share the same birthday and got to know each other a little better during the last quilt show. Judy makes soft sculpture and was a vendor at the quilt show with her beautiful dolls. Brandie, Jill and I purchased all of her mermaid dolls. All different and really cute! I'll take a pic today and post it later.

Quilted with a swirl design to go with the POW! Judy said it is for a "bruiser of a boy" and had a good laugh when she picked up this quilt yesterday. Thank you Judy!

With a late start this week which started out with a cold, only three quilts quilted this week. The third was a sample quilt for Theresa at Honey Run Quilters. Two more to be done and six that will be quilted on the new longarm in March. March, that does seem like a long time! Thank you Beckie, Barbara (each have two), Carole and Carol for putting your quilts on hold. 

The list of quilts waiting for the Innova is growing and I may be in for a log jam. When I dropped off the quilted sample yesterday at Honey Run Quilters, Kelly told me she has three ready to be quilted!

On the home front, I finished my Mystery quilt top and am ready to start two projects this weekend. Barbara Brackman posted the first block for her 2014 BOM Threads of Memory and yesterday Lori of Humble Quilts posted the start of a QAL on her blog. For links head over to my blog Ramblin' Rows.

Disappointed at the end to last weekends game and the 49ers not making it into the Super Bowl. Happy to have a break from football until next weekend, I have blocks to make! 

Enjoy your weekend! Thanks for stopping by
