Goldie and the Girls

Sandy and Phoebe picked up Sandy's Bargello quilt this afternoon

 The inner border or stop border is silk! Nice addition

Quilting design is Quill b2b in the center field with the Quill border/corner set

in the outer border. Quilted with Fantastico from Superior

Batting is Quilter's Dream 100% cotton in Deluxe, a new bat from QD

 Much better alternative to W&N !!! No stems and seeds :0)

 Beautiful batik backing

 Thank you Sandy, for the card too.

Michael loved it, we both did! 

 Phoebe's VERY scrappy quilt!

As scrappy as it gets! Well done by our Scrappy Queen :0) 

Even has a little bit of Halloween! 

The friendship star with sashing is the primary block
and a Churn Dash emerged 

where we choose to center the quilting pattern on and frame the stars
creating a custom e2e!

Quilting design is Twirl Pantograph by Keryn Emmerson

Quilted with Omni V, a wonderful new variegated thread from Superior. 

Batting is QD Cotton Deluxe

Thank you Phoebe

and last but not least are 2 quilts for Goldie...

 Pretty in Pink! Log cabins with a great Paisley border fabric

 I choose a new paisley pattern from Anne Bright...

Paisley Loops

 Goldie provided the batting, QD Polly Puff 

It's a great 100% poly, great for a baby quilt 

and it quilts and looks just like wool.

 More pink plus the paisley fabric on the back... nice!

It's a toss up between Goldie and Phoebe for the Scrap Queen Crown! 

Altho Sandy can hold her own as well!

This one by Goldie is great... with some really little squares!!!

All 1930s repros...

I choose a quilt design to compliment many of the traditional daisy prints.

April Flowers by Anne Bright

 and a very sweet flannel backing fabric for this baby quilt

Thank you Goldie, Sandy and Phoebe!!! 

aka The Goldie Girls ;0) 

Tot ziens, stay cool!!! Jo

Scrappy Kaffe!

Three quilts for Cheryl are quilted and ready for trimming. Cheryl loves Kaffe Fassett prints and has been using them for some time. She used lots of her scraps to make these guys... 

Wonderful way to make a scrappy Kaffe!

Quilted with a modern geometric design ~ Mid Century by Patricia Ritter. I followed the flow of the triangles to line up to the flow of the circles in the quilting. Lots of circles on the back too. Quilted with two Fantastico variegated threads (love!) Rainbow on the front and a pink to coral variegated on the back, with Quilter's Dream Blend batting.

More printelicious fabrics...

 Another fun scrappy quilt Cheryl made with one of Theresa Wright's patterns

 Quilted with a new to me pattern with lots of swirl and pearls

Rapunzel is a design by Anne Bright

 Quilted with three different Fantastico threads from Superior :0) Fun

and the wonderful backing! Yumm

The third is a great mix of color and fabrics. The deep gold, magenta and dark brown all played well together. I had the perfect Fantastico variegated magenta thread but opted for an Omni thread ~ Vanilla Wafer. There was so much print going on, a dark thread would have only gotten in the way! The gold thread was only quilted in the center field. In the dark brown border I used a light variegated thread, Lava, another thread from Superior. It's a thread they are discontinuing. It takes a larger needle for the 3 ply and a bit of fussing with the tension but it was well worth it! Love my Innova!

Quilting design in the center field is Quill b2b, also from Anne Bright

 and a border design ~ Quill with Flower that is part of a set 

(there are 4 different borders designed to frame her Quill b2b)

 The two fabric backing is folded against the front altho hard to see. 

There are allot of prints going on in this beauty!

Thank you Cheryl!
