Lucky Stars Christmas!

Yes, I did say Christmas!  Because I have to show you what just came off the frame!  A cheery, lovely Christmas quilt!  It is hard to think Christmas when it is sunny and warmer outside - okay, at least where I am at.  I bet for some it is not so hard with this snowy, cold winter we have had.

 A closed up of the quilting which is Wasatch Quilting's Simple Modern Christmas Trees E2E pattern.  The thread is Superior Thread's King Tut in Holly and Ivy variegated color.   I wish I could keep this one, but it isn't mine.  The size is 45" x 60".

Spring is coming!

Happy Friday!

A Happy Go Lucky Finish!  Here is a wall quilt, approximately 27" x 28", that I pieced and custom quilted. This piece will be hung at the office as a cheerful reminder that Spring really is coming!  The binding still needs to be cut, pieced and stitched on, but I do have Saturday and Sunday.

The fabric is Happy Go Lucky by Bonnie and Camille.  The pattern is Round and Round by Camille Roskelley.  The quilting patterns are from Wasatch Quilting - Nancy Haacke.  The thread is King Tut Temple (white) by Superior Threads.

I used some inexpensive okay, cheap fabric that I had on hand for the backing since it will be facing a wall. It was a tone on tone, loosely woven muslin.  It stretched and shifted more than the better fabrics do and I won't be making the mistake of using cheap backing any time soon.  I really enjoyed using different patterns and doing a custom layout.

Linking up to finish it Friday with Crazy Mom Quilts.

Happy Weekend!

Frame Friday

The Scary Pumpkin Party Quilt is all quilted and almost all the binding has been hand sewn down.  I will post pictures of the finished quilt after being washed and dried.  I have 3 that are completely quilted and in some various stage of the binding process.  Hand sewing on binding is my least favorite part of the entire quilting process.  I like to do it while watching TV at night.

Last night, I was up late working on this quilt that is on the frame this Friday:

 

 

The quilting pattern is edge to edge (E2E) seashells by Wasatch Quilting.  The thread is King Tut 100% cotton, top and bobbin (Papyrus or cream color).  This is a queen sized quilt.  This quilt was pieced by a very talented customer - it is her first one!  I am so impressed!   She also made matching shams to go with the quilt.  I really love how this one is coming along.

 

Well, off to take care of some other 'stuff'.

 

Sew far, sew good,
