Old Time Santa - laser cut style!

Remember, a couple of posts ago I told you all about the three laser-cut applique kits of Pearl Pereira patterns featuring fabrics by RJR that will be debuting at Spring Market and I shared the first one. Well, I just finished the second in the series:  Old Time Santa - super cuteness!  And remember, all those pieces are precisely laser cut for you - and according to RJR the kits will be shipping to quilt shops in June!

Okay, here it is:

And now to just finish the binding (it is that super cute red dot fabric).  I'll be sharing the third quilt in the series in a few days!

Twelve Days of Baltimore - laser-cut style!

I know, you are all familiar with the beautiful Baltimore quilts by Pearl Pereira, right?  Well there are a series of three laser-cut applique kits featuring fabrics from RJR that will be debuting at Spring Market.  Pretty cool!  The best part, I get to quilt these three beauties!!  I only have one to share so far, the other two will be finished soon!  I hear from RJR that the kits will be shipping to quilt shops in June -- watch for yours!  All those little pieces - totally prepped for you!

So here is the beautiful Twelve Days of Baltimore:

And some detail photos:

See all those pieces -- now they will be laser-cut goodness!  Make sure to look for them at Spring Market or your local quilt shops!!

I'll be posting the other two quilts in the series as I complete them - stay tuned!

Oh!!!  Almost forgot to share the black light info...  If you follow on Facebook you'll remember I was talking about the black light on my Gammill -- awesomeness when quilting with white thread on white fabric.  Check this out:

Regular lighting - really hard to see the thread on that beautiful fabric right?

 With the black light on - wow!  Totally makes a difference, at least for these old eyes!

Don't forget to check back to see the other two quilts in the series!

Hey, at least it hasn't been a month since my last post.  Therefore, I am making progress.  No, seriously, it has been insane crazy here with everyday life sneaking up and smacking me in the face almost daily.  If you want, you can catch up on all of that other stuff over here.  But, in the meantime some customer quilting has been happening, and here is the summary of it all:

Marilyn pieced this super cute "Very Hungry Caterpillar" quilt for one of her grandchildren.

Then we have Dee, who made this log cabin quilt -- love the colors on this one!

And another beauty by Ethel.  These are totally my colors, deep browns, beiges - love!

  

 And last, but certainly not least, is Mary's Baltimore Christmas (pattern by p3designs)

Well, that's it, until next time - Happy Quilting!!

Baltimore Halloween

Here is Mary's Halloween quilt. The pattern is a block of the month entitled Baltimore Halloween by Pearl P. Pereira - P3 Designs (http://p3designs.com/) and it just happens to be one of my favorite quilts!

I have this pattern (thanks to a dear friend) and plan on making one of my own -- my dilemma... I want to do hand applique on my quilt. Well, those are some tiny, tiny, little pieces. I'm going in circles on this one... do I enlarge the pattern, eliminate some of the tiny pieces, or just fuse the entire thing and forget the hand applique? See, that is my dilemma -- not to worry though, it'll be awhile before I can start on it anyway!

Mary tells me that her husband is getting her the Christmas pattern for her birthday -- what fun! Hopefully I'll have the honor of quilting that one also!
