And this just blocks beauty:

Judy's Grandmothers Fan

I've just finished Judy's Grandmothers Fan quilt.  This one was a lot of fun (aren't they all)... but I did have to fix a little wonky here and there.  I share how I handled it in my groups (links below), you know, if you want to hear all about how and why...

So here's the finished pic... sorry it's not a full photo but my quilts boards are currently unavailable.

And a couple of detail pics:



And a couple peeks of the back as well:

Judy's Vintage Rouge

 I've finished Judy's Vintage Rouge quilt.  The pattern is a 2012 BOM from Marcus Fabrics.  Judy has been busy finishing up some of her UFOs... don't we all wish we could accomplish that... doubtful it will happen as we all keep buying more (but that's a super good thing)!

I realize it's not optimal lighting, but its been cold and grey here -- you wouldn't even recognize it as SoFlo -- so you'll have to deal with the over the frame pics.


And a couple of detail pics:


And even a peek at the back:

It was a fun quilt!

Karla's Lizard Quilt

 I just finished this awesome lizard piece for Karla (the pattern is by BBD Creations).

I did various pebbles for the lizard scales and some leafy fills on the leaves.  I tried to remain true to life on the anthurium flowers.  I had some fun with the background - Karla wanted a vine-like effect.  If you want to see the quilting, thought process, and extras on this beauty, you can subscribe to my Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/quiltyk (paid subscription).

2 beauties for Jan

I just finished these two quilts for Jan - the first is a cool Harley T-Shirt quilt. I used Flaming Shields e2e (Karen Farnsworth/Wildflower Quilting) - it worked perfectly!


The second quilt was Jan's State Birds beauty.  I used BirdsinFlight_E2E (Maureen Foster/HumbleBee Quilting) and it also work perfectly!

Kevina's Potting Shed

I've finished Kevina's Potting Shed (pattern by Claudia Dinnell).  Kevina wanted her quilt very similar to the one I did for Mel of the Bernina Sewing Center - if you don't remember you can check that out here.  I love the greens that Kevina chose -

Here are a couple of detail pics:




And, of course, a couple of peeks at the back:

Monday is the day!!

That's right, on Monday 11/9/2020 the second Virtual Quilt Show begins -- it runs through Sunday 11/15/2020.  If you haven't already checked it out, you should... and don't delay - the classes look awesome -- there are some live and some prerecorded!  I personally like the prerecorded because you can rewind and rewatch as many times as necessary during the week of the show!  There is also a forum as well as a 30 minute live Q&A for each prerecorded class so you still get some personal attention and all your questions answered.

I'm once again thrilled and honored to be included in this fabulous line up of educators.  Here's some info on my classes:

Inkedoodle: Feather - omg such a fun class!!



The Creative Process - have you ever wanted to design your own quilt??  Not like pieced blocks, but lines, shapes, and elements?  If so, this class is definitely for you - this is how I design all my quilts!



And then I have Fast Forward Feathers (sorry no cute video on this one):

So... go check out the classes - I'm sure you'll find something that interests you!
