barns...

Heather, from California, sent me her barn quilt.  These barn blocks seem to be popping up all over the place!  I've quilted quite a few and I think they are so darn cute.  Each one is very personal.  Heather did an amazing job on hers - here are some of them...

I love the barn door fabric she used on the door:

 

It was fun creating the shingles on the roofs:

 

I tried to quilt each door different:

I quilted a wood grain design in her wood grain sashing & border areas:

 

 

Nine barns in all - super cute!

 

Heather also sent a single churn dash block to be used for a pillow.  I had quilted a bed quilt made from these blocks a while ago - so pretty.  Little feather quilting.

 

 

 

Thank you, Heather, for letting me quilt on your beauties!

Florida customer quilts...

My friend, Denise - from Florida, just sent me 4 quilts to quilt.  I always get excited to see what she's been working on. 

She has a flair for putting fabrics with just the right pattern & design. 

I love seeing all the different fabrics from across the nation, especially from the coastal areas.

Here is her Christmas Twister quilt - it's so classy. 

 That murky background is perfect.

 

This is the backing - LOVE that aqua print!

I quilted an all-over fan swirl.

 

 

 Here is her ocean print quilt - the fabrics are so fun.

 

 

I quilted some waves & bubbles in the blocks and a double ric-rac on the border. 

 My favorite piece in this quilt - a very pretty octopus!

 

 

 This is a cute tree/leaf quilt.  The chunky blocks show off the larger prints.

 

I just quilted a simple loop/leaf design.

 

 

 One of my favorite blocks is a Churn Dash - this is a giant one! 

I'm seeing this more and more for simple baby quilts - just one block. 

Brilliant!!!

I stippled the background, put an echoed tear drop in each triangle area and long lines in the yellow bars. 

Super cute quilt!

 

 

Thank you, Denise, for sharing your quilts with me. 

I always love quilting for you!
