Another week has nearly gone, in fact February is nearly gone! Summer is nearly gone, but the pile of quilts has not gone! I warmly invite you to enjoy the following............................
Firstly are Jill's eight place mats. Jill request custom quilting, cotton batting and Insul-Bright batting.
Done! I loaded all eight place mats together as Jill had given me a nice big piece of backing fabric.
Then I set to work quilting all the 'organic' cross-hatching, echo waves and the ditch stitching before changing threads.
Here is a view of the back, you can see the quilting very clearly.
Next up is Marcelle's special quilt just for her Wedding day. Scrappy and very happy!
I enjoyed using my 'doodling' in the cream background, feathering, looping, hooping and echoing.
Marcelle chose Matilda's Own 'Oh Sew Soft' Polyester batting. I didn't get a photo of the back, but it was a fun pieced backing.
Straight line quilting on the pieced heart using Superior's Fantastico "Playhouse" thread.
A lovely keepsake for what will be a special memorable day.
I had to make a gift for a friend that was part of a group where we do 'secret Santa'. Because of the busy time leading up to Christmas, then after Christmas is the holiday time catch up with family etc we left our gift swap until just recently. Here is the gift I made....................................
A block holder using Michelle Ridgeways alphabet stitchery. Always a handy thing to have when you make quilts.
The gift I received.....................wow!
A lovely keepsake lined basket.
that's a great idea with the placemats. I never thought you'd be able to do something like that on a longarm, but of course you can!
ReplyDeleteStunning. Youmhave certainly worked your magic again. I love your lined basket.
ReplyDeleteReally like the organic cross-hatching on the placemats!
ReplyDeleteThe quilting on the background of the heart quilt is incredible! Looks like you really had fun quilting that!
It appears that you ladies really do quality work on your swaps. Both gifts are lovely.
Busy busy! What a special keepsake Marcelle has of her wedding - and she will not forget their anniversary either!! Gorgeous blockholder :-) Thank you so much...weren't we all spoilt?!
ReplyDeleteLovely gifts both given & received Leeanne. I love those placemats, I have that house fabric myself. I really like what the lady has put with it & wish I could see a finished picture of them. Is she going to bind them I am guessing?
