Beth's Beauties

 I've just finished these three beauties for Beth - all three are super cuteness and were perfect for E2E!

First is Country Christmas (pattern by Corey Yoder).
On this very festival quilt Beth chose on of my digital designs: FFfeathers_curl18_clamshell_km (available for purchase in ALL formats here among many others)  I think the design was perfect!

I have to admit on this beautiful quilt I made a big mistake... yep like a rookie mistake -- but it goes to show you it can happen!  I ripped the quilt!!  Can you believe it?  I was so angry with myself - it absolutely drives me nuts when things go wrong... but, I do share how I fixed it in my Quilty Know-How FB Group I have step-by-step detailed photos - this group is an affordable yearly subscription ($5/month) so check out the link and see if it is something that might interest you!  There is so much info in the group I'm sure there's something there for you.

Next was a baby quilt Beth made using a layer cake - again super cute!  She chose foxye2e by Stitch Happy/TJ Spieser (another cute pattern I've used several times) - again perfect for this baby gift.

And the last one is Bumble Bee Blossoms (pattern by Krista Moser) - OMG I think I need to make this quilt - such bright colors and all that crisp white background!  Beth chose a fun bee pattern called Gardenbees_2_E2E by Maureen Foster and again it was a perfect compliment to the quilt top!

Kris - Crumbs quilt

 I've just finished this super cute quilt for Kris.  The pattern is Crumbs by Me and My Sister Designs.  First I'll show you the finished beauty then I'll tell you all about it!

I used one of my digital designs called Swoof -- available in ALL formats here and also in gqp format here.

Now on to the story... according to Kris this quilt was almost destined for the garbage... almost.  She is one of my awesome regular clients so she contacted me and asked if it was fixable.  It most certainly was - there was just a wee bit of wonky in the borders -- totally fixable!

The top border was 59" and the bottom border was 57 3/8" while both sides were 74 5/8.  All I needed to do was shrink up that top border.  I share a 20 minute video in my Quilty Know-How group (paid subscription) on how to fix it.

So don't even think your quilt is so wonky it can never be quilted.  I have fixed many almost trash can quilts into beautiful pieces!!

Some more E2E finishes

My Elevate has been busy busy stitching away.  I've recently finished this beauty for Barb.  She pieced a beautiful log cabin quilt.  I used one of my designs, KM_Flourish02_e2e, available on Gammill's Patterncloud.

And a couple of detail pics:

I also finished this awesome quilt for Joan.  The pattern was Jennifer (from 3 Times the Charm Book 2 by Me & My Sister Designs).  I used 2682_Modern_Mayhem as the stitch design.

And a detail pic:

Mel's Potting Shed

I've just finished this super cute quilt for Mel of Bernina Sewing Center in Lake Mary.  It is The Potting Shed by Claudia's Creations.  I know it's not the best lighting but it's the rainy season here... outside pics just aren't happening.

Some detail pics:

And a couple peeks at the back:

Cindi's FFMWR Quilt

Cindi's Flowers For My Wedding Ring quilt is finished and it's a beauty!

The pattern is by Judy Niemeyer/Quiltworx. If you remember, I've done several of these, including the cover sample for Quiltworx. They actually digitized my design on the cover sample. If you happen to be a computerized quilter and would like to purchase the designs, here is the link: http://store.quiltworx.com/category-s/2255.htm

Back to Cindi's quilt. I wanted to keep the pattern similar to the cover sample, yet still make it unique. I changed the curved crosshatching ever so slightly, and did the feathers just a bit different. I'm glad I changed it, it gives this quilt its own individuality - it's Cindi's version!

And you know I can't share just one picture...

Here is a detailed pic showing more of the quilting:

And one of the feathered border corners:

Cindi used a solid blue for her backing. I absolutely LOVE when clients give me solid backs - it is like another quilt! So here is a full pic as well as a detailed pic of the back:

This one is an absolute stunner!

Lorraine's Aurora Quilt

I have finally, yes finally, finished Lorraine's Aurora quilt. It feels like this quilt has been on the frame for weeks. Not really, but with almost daily storm delays, it has been long overdue in being finished. Yes, I'm officially running about a week behind the already behind schedule -- that means I'm crazy behind now.

The pattern is by Jacqueline de Jonge - BeColourful.  Lorraine decided to use white as the entire background - I think it turned out stunning!  I used one layer of cotton batting as well as an additional layer of wool.

And, as always, here are some detail pics:

Hope Lorraine likes it as much as I do!

Weathered Windmill

Quiltworx is about to debut a new patterned called Weathered Windmill -- it is absolutely beautiful.  I was lucky enough to get to quilt the sample which is done in their new fabric line, Reclaimed West. Yes, I have permission to share, so here goes:

Isn't is awesome?!!  Here are some detail pics during the quilting process:

I've recently started killing all my scissors...

And, of course, some pictures of the back:

It is an amazing quilt.  If you happen to be at Fall Quilt Market make sure you swing by the Quiltworx booth and check it out!
