Kathy's Quilts

The last two quilts of the year are finished.  These two beauties belong to Kathy and I stitched on them using the Elevate.

Here is Kathy's third Nine Patch and Stars in 30s repro fabrics.  This was quilted using Swirls & Feathers design by Judith Kraker.


And here is Kathy's Red White & Blue quilt using Star Spangled Banner design by Karen Farnsworth.

Silvia's Road Less Traveled

Late last night (or maybe the wee hours of today depending on how you look at it) I finished Silvia's Road Less Traveled quilt.  The pattern is Road Trip by Chris Jurd.  I tried to keep the quilting as eclectic as Silvia's many fabric choices!  I know these aren't the best photos - remember, it was late and today's weather is drizzly and grey so this is what we've got!


And since the lighting isn't the best, here are a bunch of detail pics:


In the photo above and below you can see the result of one of my favorite stencils by Jodi Robinson, it's called Circle Pop. 

I also used Gina Perkes-Tidwell's medium June ruler to do the continuous ovals in the curved sashings. 

Aren't these the coolest feathers!  They are in my about-to-be-finished book, Fast Forward Feathers -- watch here for pre-sale and release dates (it'll be very soon)!

And a couple pics of the back:

Silvia's Quilt

I finished Silvia's Wish Upon a Star quilt (EPP block patterns by Katja Marek).  And no, I didn't trim the batting/backing from this one -- it is easier to attach the binding when there is a bit of an edge left on the quilt.

And some detail pics so you can really see the blocks:




And a peek at the back:

I shared a free video on my Patreon of how I stitched the grey triangles while I was doing the background ditch work- check it out here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/filling-in-while-23189077

Ann's Jane Sassaman 3

I actually finished Ann's awesome quilt late yesterday. This morning I was ready for photos and... grey skies, cold air - is this really SoFlo?  So this afternoon while I was deciding how to get the best indoor photo, there it was - the sun!  It peeked its beautiful face from behind those grey skies so I grabbed the quilt and ran outside!

You see that cool circle fill in the blue setting triangles?  Well, if you want to know how I did it, you can subscribe to my Patreon Page where I share the how-to with you.

Oh, and here is a detail pic:

And, of course, the back - and even though this is a fairly busy fabric, with the two layers of batting you can still see all that texture!

I really love how this quilt turned out - and... I think I'm becoming obsessed with circles, at least for now!

Joette's Chilly Charmers

I finished up Joette's Chilly Charmers quilt (pattern by Pearl Louise) and it is super cuteness, quite possibly cuteness overload!  And how fun to be quilting snowmen during a little *cold snap* in Florida.

Some detail pics:





And some pics of the back (sorry, there were too many options):

Linda's Quilts

I've been busy working on two beauties for Linda (and she's been patiently waiting).

The first one is Primitive Christmas (pattern by Lisa Bongean) and is wool applique on cotton - so cute!

And some detail pics:




And a peek at the back:

Linda's next quilt was Rhapsody (pattern by Dawn Heese/Linen Closet Designs) and it turned out beautiful!

Some detail pics on this one:






And, of course, the back:


Well that's it for client work until later this month.  And yes, the next one will be for Linda as well!
