Serendipity in Fall ~ Tina

This beauty is made by Tina B

Pieced pattern is Serendipity by Linda Ballard 

Tina pieced this quilt at a workshop with Linda at Honey Run Quilters in Chico

Quilting design is Fall Flurry by Bethanne Nemesh 

It's a new design by Bethanne available on Digi-Tech 

This center block is what drew me in to choosing this design for Tina's quilt

and then used the same design as a p2p to fill into the inner border  

and added a single motif/element to the corner space. 

Block design quilted in the center/corner blocks

also shown below with another element added between them

in this photo of the center of the quilt

A leaf in a circle for the sashing with leaves added in the cornerstones 

Thread is Omni in Pine Shadow / Batting is Quilter's Dream Machine Blend

This quilt is made with just two fabrics, the Fall leaf batik fabric with a 

light green fabric that had gold dots for the background fabric. 

My camera is not doing justice to the beautiful color of this quilt! 

A border and corner design was added to the outer border

which the camera didn't pick it up on the batik print

Here you can see a portion of the border at the bottom of this photo of the back.

Backing fabric is the same fabric as the background
The photos absolutely do not capture the gorgeous fabrics that make this quilt!!! :0(

Thank you Tina! 

It was the perfect time of year and weather for this beauty :0) 

Tot ziens, Jo

Saturday Morning Post

Star quilt made by Linda E

I am always amazed at the quilts that venture into my studio, and Linda's are no exception! This is a Mariner's Star quilt Linda made. Linda also made the Farmer's Wife quilt posted earlier this month. This is a better pic of the entire quilt...

 Farmer's Wife by Linda E

With the change back to dry weather I had a chance to take some whole quilt pix outside. The Schedule is updated with a few more to finish for February, still happy with the progress made. There are several custom quilts in progress, one is Beckie's French Braid pictured in the previous post. 

A couple more that went out the door...

Karen's Cathedral Square

Cathedral Square

A two color pattern by Linda Ballard

Quilt made by Karen G

quilted by Jo @ Moonbear Designs & Quilting

with... feathers! feathers and more feathers!

Wonderful BIG setting triangles wide open for quilting :0) It was the dark fabric print that motivated my decision to quilt a feather design. Literally one triangle design, flipped, mirrored and linked to create all of the feathers in the center field of Karen's quilt. Have I mentioned... LOVE my Innova and Auto Pilot! The light fabric is one of the Stonehenge fabrics and really made the trilobal poly variegated thread sing! I used one of the original Fantastico variegated thread colors. Love!
 

This is the center of Karen's quilt. The same triangle linked and spiraled into a square. The triangle design is digitized by Jamie Wallen. A wonderful talented longarm quilter, now an Innovian. Yea! Jamie has done Utubes most notably on taming tension. I picked up his design, Feather Flurry on Digi-Tech. The border/corner design is from One Song Needle Arts by Donna named Sacred Journey.

 Above is a single version of Feather Flurry and below
a double mirrored version along with the Sacred Journey border design.

  

Thank you Karen

I love this quilt and enjoyed quilting it for you!

See you soon :0)
