Kansas Troubles...

I've always been drawn to the Kansas Troubles line of fabric, there's something so cozy about it. For obvious reasons I ordered in Jelly Rolls and Charm Packs of the Autumn Journey line on my first fabric order. I've since brought in the new Cranberry Wishes line in Jelly Rolls and Layer Cakes...that line is so deep and rich, I can't wait to make something for myself out of it!

Above is a customer quilt, she used a new pattern from Kansas Troubles using the Autumn Journey line of fabric. I quilted it using the pattern Ground Cover by Golden Threads and as this was my first time using it, I didn't quite anticipate it to be the workout that it was. :0) So well worth the trouble though, this quilt came alive after I took it off the frame. The copper thread we chose looks fantastic and just pulls all the fabrics together. Love this quilt! I just might make one for myself! Ha ha, famous last words!

Cracked Pots

This gorgeous quilt was made by a new customer of mine. She did such a beautiful job on all the piecing, it was a treat to quilt!

I used the pattern Paisley Playtime by Lorien with a King Tut Variegated thread.

One down, about a bazillion to go...lol

Bears...

I made this flannel quilt for a friend to give as a gift. I cut up the bear panel and made nine patches to go along with the bear blocks to make a quick quilt. I quilted it using the pattern Popcorn small and King Tut thread. I love flannel baby quilts!

Turning Twenty

It's definitely that time of year! Above is another customer quilt, made for a graduation gift. I wish I received a quilt for graduation...all I got was luggage...think they were trying to tell me something??? Ha Ha!!! I quilted this one using the pattern Fascination by Lorien, which is such a nice pattern and I used lime Cucurini thread and it looks FAB!

Jupiter's Burning

A dear friend of mine made this massive quilt as a graduation gift and I had the pleasure of quilting it for her. The pattern is called Jupiters Burning from the July/August issue of Quiltmaker magazine. I love her choice of color, it looks so striking in person. What a beautiful gift!

Sleeps Six...

I am a huge fan of Pine Needles quilts and have finally started my In Full Bloom kit that I purchased last summer. With the help of my niece, we started on the sleeps six block, thought we'd start small. My niece does beautiful drawings and wants to learn to quilt during her week long visit with me, so we looked through my projects in waiting and picked an art quilt. I put her to work straight away with tracing and in no time flat she had all the images traced out. I put them to fabric and a few short hours later we had our first block. I will stash it away for now in wait for thread painting and a little embellishment.

Trees Up...

This flannel quilt is a customer quilt that I had the pleasure of quilting for her. It's one of those stack and slash patterns I think it's called Trees Up. I used King Tut Thread on the top with So Fine on the bottom. Pattern is Bright and Breezy by Lorien.

I'm a busy bee at the studio lately, I now have 16 quilts needing my attention. There aren't enough hours in the day!
