Carol's pretties.....

My friend, Carol from Montana, has been a busy,

busy quilter! 

She recently retired from her day job and is having a blast making quilts for everyone she knows! 

Here are just a few of her lovely creations...

 

 

I quilted an all-over row-by-row single loop - one of my favorite designs.

 

 

Look at that cute leaf binding...

 

 

The quilts just keep coming!  Cute backing, too.

 

 

Very masculine - this is her "Sweetwater" creation.

 

 

Red binding and recipe fabric on the back - perfect.

 

 

I get to choose the quilting designs on her quilts - love that!

 

 

I quilted simple all-over loops. 

Do you love this plaid backing?

 

 

This was Carol's most challenging quilt - a Lori Holt design.

 

 

Carol did an excellent job piecing - so many ity bity pieces!

 

 

 A very happy backing with a dot binding.

 

I quilted an all-over feather swirl design on this one.

 

Little squares on the back - super fun!

 

 

All bound & ready to go home.

 

 

Carol's latest quilts - a pretty pinwheel.
I had fun quilting the borders with a different
design than the center.




Oh, how I love this backing!

A quilt for her husband - he will love it!

Nothing like script fabrics - love them!

 

I've got to somehow get on Carol's "quilt gift" list.....:)

mother - daughter quilting together...

One of my customer's, Michelle, from California, spent some serious sewing time with her 9-year old daughter.

This is the result of that serious mother/daughter time together:

 

 

 

A little Christmas quilt!

It's Lori Holt's "Quilty Little Christmas" scrappy sew along.

What a cute little snow guy.

 

 

 

I quilted snowy swirls in the red outer border.

 

 

This is my favorite section -the little bows on the wreaths that stand up - darling!

 

 

I had so much fun quilting each section different.....

Can you believe her 9-year old pieced this little cutie?

Nice job!!!

 

 

This one was created by Michelle.

 

 

It's a Barbara Brackman, Civil War quilt. 

 

  

 

Michelle wanted quilting that was conducive to that time era.

It's so pretty.

I love the colors she used.

 

 

Thank you, Michelle and Lindsay, for letting me add to your creations.

Keep sewing, Lindsay!

BEE happy!

Minnie, from Texas, recently sent me this absolutely adorable quilt to quilt.

 

 

It was a block-of-the-week sampler. 

(I can't even seem to get a block of the MONTH completed at my house)

She has entered it in a "30's fabric" local quilt show within her community.

She used Lori Holt's book, "Quilty Fun" which you can find here in Lori's Etsy shop.

Minnie did a phenomenal job on this little quilt!

I could hardly wait to get my hands & machine on it!

Minnie said, "Do your magic".

So I quilted every block section different - I love doing that!

Here we go - lots and lots of photos!

This cute red border needed some straight line echoing:

 

 

 

leaves...

 

 

bumble bee...

 

 

I could have an entire quilt out of the "X's" and 1/4 squares...

 

 

butterflies...

 

 

mugs & leaves...

 

 

courthouse step blocks...

 

 

apples & apple core...

 

 

Every sampler needs a home...or two!

 

 

 

Look at those little spools below the houses...

 

 

baskets and stars...

 

 

Minnie chose a solid red for the binding - perfect!

 

I think this sweet little quilt is definitely a winner!

Thank you, Minnie, for letting me play on your "Bee Happy" quilt.
