hearts & baby love....

Vicky, from the UK, made these adorable quilts and sent them to me to quilt.

She made this sweet heart quilt using Allison's, of Cluck Cluck Sew, Heart block tutorial, found here.

It's a bed size - I love all the pretty pastels she used.

 

 

I quilted a simple feather in each heart and looped the background.

 

 

Is this backing a perfect choice?

 

 

Vicky and her sister also made this sweet triangle quilt for their other sister's new baby, Miss Rose.

 

 

I quilted straight lines going the opposite direction  in every other triangle.

 

 

 I wish I had a bed size quilt just like this.

 

 

The backing, again, is perfect....pink flamingos!

 

 

 All bound & ready to be snuggled under.

 

 

Vicky is such a dear - she knows I love pin cushions and sent me this one.....from.....wait for it....Liberty of London.

 

  The real Liberty of London shop.....in London!  I was beyond happy.  Their prints are incredibly pretty. 

 Thank you so very much. 

Sending love from across the ocean.

 

Sherri's quilts...

My Anchorage, Alaska friend, Sherri, makes the most amazing quilts. 

They are simple and beautiful.

I love simplicity....and I find myself wanting to make every single one of her quilts for myself.

She has a flair for putting the perfect colors together.

Just like this 16-patch.

 

 

She certainly knows how to mix 'n match!

I did a simple stipple on this comfy quilt.

 Sherri has fabulous backings, too.

 

 

She very seldom uses the same fabric line within a quilt. 

(I wish Sherri lived closer, I would beg her to give me a lesson on color & design!)

Here's a cute little crib size 4-patch....sweetness.

 

  

 And here it is again made out of Kaffe Fassett fabrics.

I cross-hatched this one.

  

  

 Again - a perfect Kaffe backing!

 

  

 This soothing "T" quilt is so calming....
  

  

 I hate to admit this, but....I've never made a log cabin quilt.

I love log cabins so much and Sherri had me at "scrappy look" on this one.

 

  

This is the latest quilt I quilted for her.

Triangles for her granddaughter's "big girl" bed.

 

  

Swirls - lots and lots of pretty swirls.

They're just the right touch for the cute hot air balloon backing. 

(I had to order some for my stash, too.) 

From Stash Fabrics.

 

 

I want this quilt, just for me....

 

 

Thank you, Sherri, for the constant inspiration I gain from your lovely quilts.
