Candy's quilts....

One of my customers from Missouri, "hi" Candy, spent some serious time with her sewing machine and produced 4 quilts for me to quilt!

She's getting WAY ahead of the holidays this year...

Here's her pretty spring quilt...

 

 

This beauty got loose swirls all over - edge to edge.

 

 

What a perfect backing!

 

 

I thing swirls fit almost any quilt!

 

 

 Here's her beautiful patriotic quilt... 

 

 

Each block is different so I quilted a single edge-to-edge wave all over it.

 

 

 

Here's her Autumn quilt...

 

 

I quilted simple leaves & loops in the center, a ribbon in the inner border and straight lines in the outer border.

 

 

Here's her Christmas quilt...

 

 

I love a pretty Christmas Chain - I quilted loops in the center, another ribbon in the inner border and swirls, loops and holly leaves in the outer border.

 

 

Now you're ready for any holiday this year!

Thanks, Candy!

They are all beautiful!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

civil war quilting

My friend, Jami - from Idaho, makes the most beautiful quilts using Civil War prints.

They have little bunkhouses on their property and she now has a personally made quilt for each bed.

She has designed most of these lovely quilts and her work is flawless! 

Sit back and enjoy the show!

 

 

This is her 16-patch/pinwheel quilt.

I quilted feathers in the pinwheels and cross-hatched the 16-patch's.

 

Beautiful!

 

The backing...

 

Borders on another quilt - ric-rac, ribbons and swirl feathers:

 

This was one of my favorite borders - string blocks. 

She started each center with a black print - gives it that zig-zag look.

 

This is a simple vertical row quilt.

I cross-hatched the pieced rows and feathered the solid rows.

I have my own stash (3 tubs - oh my!) of civil war prints....waiting to be cut into and made into something

Civil War-ish!

 

 

 

Thank you, Jamie, for letting me quilt these beautiful quilts for your bunkhouses!
