Kelly and Ripples

One of Kelly's Ripple quilts

Ripple is one of many quilt patterns by Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts 

This and the one below are two smaller versions Kelly made since her workshop.

 Both are quilted with two different Mola designs. 

The one above with a custom e2e and the one below with an all over e2e.

Another Ripple quilted for Linda D 

This one is set up with a custom e2e using a Celtic Knot design...

Great fabrics including the backing that Linda choose for her Ripple 

that she pieced in Kelly's workshop. Sarah has one ready that I will be quilting soon!

Kelly has done several workshops, many from Jaybird Quilts. Toes in the Sand was a BOM we recently finished. I quilted Kelly's mermaid Toes and guess what, forgot to take pix before delivering the quilt last week... I tell you, I'm loosing it! I brought the quilt with me to Kelly's newest workshop... Gravity. Yep, another BOM from Jaybird. Already have some quilting designs in mind for this one as well :0) 

A second quilt recently done for Kelly that I did remember to take pix... 

is this quilt that went to PIQF with Honey Run Quilters as a sample with Kaffe prints

A modern Dresden with great prints! 

Completely machine pieced including the inset circles...

Well done by Kelly a quilter extraordinaire! 

Fun quilting design with fun fabrics using Sun Spirit by Kim Diamond 

and a border print from Anne Bright. I took the border design and created 

a new individual element that I quilted into the center of each of the blocks. 

Quilted with Quilter's Dream Wool batting, it gave it a little dimension as well! 

Thank you Kelly! 

Tot ziens, Jo

 

Fish swimming in the Deep Blue Sea for Sandra

Fishiness quilted for Sandy with Deep Blue Sea 

using the set by Kim Diamond that includes the borders, corners and e2e 

Cute fish swimming in the Deep Blue Sea! 

 Great prints to go with the great piecing and fabric choices by Sandra E.

Love the graphic piecing pattern as well... well done Sandy! 

A second graphic quilt made by Sandra, this one with cat prints...

quilted with Catrina, a design by Apricot Moon

This is the backing!... just as graphic as the front :0) 

Another for Sandy... these girls keep me busy! 

This one is quilted with a new design by Patricia Ritter named Malachite. 

Chosen for the stone look of the background fabric 

and a nice texture with the loft of the wool batting.

There was one more quilt that Sandy brought in with musical instruments 

made for a young man from her church (it left the studio before pix) 

Thank you Sandy. 

Good to see all your pix of the Grand Canyon and that you and Mo 

had a fun and safe trip to Arizona. Welcome home :0) 

Tot ziens, Jo

Modern Building Blocks

 3 Modern Building Blocks quilts have come thru my studio

First one was for Linda D and this week I quilted two more... this is Debbie's

Quilted with Woven Wind, a digital design from Apricot Moon

Thread is a Glide in Cool Grey

Batting is Quilter's Dream Wool

and this is Karen's

Quilting design is Lonestar by Kim Diamond 

We choose a variegated thread from Superior called Great Barrier Reef 

A SoFine40 with lots of teal, blue, greens and a bright lime yellow/green

Batting is Quilter's Dream Cotton Select

This shows the quilting as well as how the thread sparkled on Karen's!

and below, the sparkle of Glide on Debbie's

Love how she personalized her quilt too!

It's always so much fun to see the same pattern made sew different 

depending on fabrics and choices by each quilter :0)

Below is Linda D's Modern Building Blocks quilted with Rapunzel 

original post for Linda's quilt 

Proving that great minds think alike... check out the backings...

Karen's 

and this is Debbie's 

 How cool is that! I used the Cool Grey Glide on the back of Debbie's

quilt as well, it really sparkled on the Tula Pink backing fabric :0)

A couple of close ups of Karen's blocks with great fabric choices...

and a few of Debbie's... a different 

feel with the crispness of the white background fabric.

Karen has her quilt and Debbie's is quilted, trimmed and 

ready for it's binding... will be completed soon! 

I have fallen behind schedule again this month with unforeseen events, 

one being Michael's surgery. I am very happy to report that he is doing great! 

(and I won't have to mow the lawn again ;0) 

Have a wonderful weekend!

I am ready to get going on the longarm today to make up some time.

Tricky thing is time when you work in production, hard to make it up! 

Thanks for everyone's patience

Tot ziens, Jo

One of those weeks

Last week was one of those weeks. One step forward and two steps back!
I did get two quilts finished for Janet...

Janet made this gorgeous Jacobs Ladder quilt for her son. It has lots of different leaf pattern prints. With a request of an e2e, I quilted an allover leaf design. A close up...

and the back...

The second quilt Janet made, leaving the design up to me she told me "It is a gift for my gentle, meditative daughter". She choose soft tranquil colors and patterns on which I added swirls...

and bubbles for a quilting design, a pattern by Kim Diamond that is becoming a favorite...

Did a quick quilt for Honey Run Quilters, made by Theresa, a sample for PIQF (Pacific International  Quilt Festival) An e2e with Deb's Dancing Tulips...

Close ups of the three panels, wonderful new fabrics at the shop! Stop by or like HRQ on Facebook

Also working on two quilts for Kelly and a large king size quilt for a special quilter, she is 92 years young! More on these quilts coming up as I finish them this coming week.

Enjoy Your Day!

Three custom quilted plus Sample for Honey Run

A few small ones quilted this week. 

First up is a quilt for Phoebe, a 3D pinwheel made with Prairie Points. Very cute! 

Custom quilted with several geometric line designs, this is the back...

Sailboats for Beckie ~ a baby quilt for Chelsy with cute sailboat fabric. The backing is the same print fabric with a white background instead of blue. Beckie is also making a matching valance!

Custom quilted with block designs of fish, sailboats and a star center. A Sand Dollar outer border with shells in the corners and the red inner border is quilted with a wave design. I also added waves to her appliqued sailboats and stitched around the sails.

A baby quilt for Betty D that she made for her daughter's BFF

A VERY cute ballerina fabric that sparkles! She requested ballet slippers to be quilted in the alternate blocks and I found just what she described on Kim Diamond's website ~ Sweet Dreams Studio. 

 Quilted in pink with a flannel backing. Sew cute and great choices!

A sample quilt for Honey Run Quilters for one of the quilt shows coming up.

Not sure which show this one will be in as Honey Run/Cathy's Sew & Vac will be at our Chico guild's ASQG quilt show and Quilting in the Garden both coming up Sept. 28 and 29.

This quilt will be offered as a kit with the embroidery designs stitched for you! If not available at Annie's Star Quilt Guild's Harvest of Quilts it will be available in the store after the shows :0)
