Denim and Flannel Fireworks quilt

Posted on June 29, 2014 by Linda

It’s a finish! I’ve been saving my son’s skater blue jeans for years and thanks to my quilting buddy’s inspiration, I’ve got a quilt! My quilt is 64 denim and flannel squares and finishes at 76″ square. I finished it just in time for watching fireworks!I love the randomness of the denim colors! The next quilt will be smaller squares, I’m on mission to use all those denim jeans!

One of my clients made an original applique airplane quilt, check the pictures here!

I just finished a 3 day sewing retreat and managed to sew a complete baby quilt together! Now, to find time to quilt and bind it.

Thanks! Linda 🙂

Women of Courage quilt

Here’s a few pics of a block of the month quilt, Women of Courage, pieced by my client Sheila and quilted by me. The batting is Quilter’s Dream Puff which really shows off the quilting detail. This was a fun quilt to add custom quilting to!

There are more photos on my google+ page.

Thanks! Linda 🙂

Happy Memorial Day! Flag of Valor Quilt

Happy Memorial Day! Flag of Valor Quilt

Happy Memorial Day! Here’s a recent Quilt of Valor made by Sheila. The fabric is a 2011 Moda collection and the pattern is a free download. While you may not be able to get the fabric today, I’m sure you could find something similar. Here’s a link to download the .pdf flag-of-valor

Sheila requested an edge to edge (E2E) for the quilting but I decided to connect the stars for the bunting part of the quilt!
The bottom of the quilt is one of my favorite E2E’s, Cockscomb meander. I love the flowery texture it creates.
Have a safe and happy Memorial Day!

Great Granny Square Quilt is Done!

Great Granny Square Quilt is Done!

Another May finish! This quilt was started on a whim and I love it when I actually finish! After checking out Great Granny Square quilts on Pinterest and other blogs, I decided to add cornerstones and binding with a green fabric from my stash. I tried scrappy cornerstones but the same color looked best to me.

All the fabric was from my stash of 2 1/2″ or 5″ squares plus lots of white remnants. My quilting buddy, Candace, decided to set her blocks without cornerstones. Here’s a pic of hers before the binding. The background fabric is white, my indoor lighting does not do it justice!The block quilting was inspired by a Pinterest pinner who made potholders out of her Great Granny Squares. After some trial and error, I managed to figure out a path for stitching with the longarm without having to break my thread!
