Hunter Star One, Two, Three

Hunter Star One, Two, Three

Corner feathers detailHunter Star One is a large quilt by Janann using her favorite blocks and wool batting.  The big borders gave me lots of room for freehand stylized feathers with traveling circles.

Janann's Hunter Star OneIsn’t this a great layout?!  The first picture shows the color better, if spring returns I’ll be able to take pictures outside!  I decided to use a simple freehand medallion design with an outline of the 8 point star.

Star detail wool battingWool batting lets the design pop out.  For a large quilt, it’s very light in weight, too.

Hunter Star TwoHunter Star Two is the reject blocks that didn’t make it into One!  Janann set the blocks in a secondary square pattern unlike an alternating light dark in One.  Scroll back up and look at the difference.

Two block detailThe medallion quilting is similar but looks totally different because of the setting of the blocks.  The batting is Quilter’s Dream Poly select which quilts very flat like cotton.  Which setting do you prefer?  I like Two!

Two corner detailHere’s the detail of Two’s borders.

Three pillow topsAnd here is Hunter Star Three!  Quilted pillow tops!  Janann has lots of finishing to do here!

 

Thanks!  🙂 Linda

Baby Elijah’s Tummy Time Quilt revealed!

Elijah's Tummy TimeHere’s my first Tummy Time quilt of 2014!  This is for Elijah, my cousin’s first grandson born March 19!  I had fun using a coordinated set of fat quarters to make this sweet baby boy quilt.   The quilting design is freehand Monkey Tails, the batting is Quilter’s Dream Puff and the thread is Superior So Fine!#50.

marker labelI finished this week, attached the label and mailed it!  When I need it fast, I use a fine fabric marker for the label.  I’m out of practice using my embroidery machine!

My niece makes the cutest little blankies out of furry fabric.  It’s a Softee for the baby’s cheek!

Mimi’s I Spy!

Mimi’s I Spy!

double nickel birthday girlAnother March finish!  With my sister’s double nickel birthday fast approaching I got busy and finished her “I Spy” quilt.  Look familiar?  It’s the same quilt design as Haley’s I Spy quilt.  My original plan was to make one for each of her grandchildren when her first 2 were born in 2011.  Well, I wasn’t fast enough and now she has 3, plus another due next month!   Therefore, one quilt for Mimi!  Every time they come to Mimi’s house they can play I Spy together.

Skylar’s Dancing 5’s!

Skylar's Dancing 5'sSkylar’s quilt arrived on her doorstep today!  How do you like this quilt for my 10 year old niece?  When I started to plan her quilt, I was making Bonnie Hunter’s Dancing Nine Patch.  The nine patches finish at 5″ so I pooled together 120 different 5″ charms and her favorite color, blue.

The quilting is is freehand loops and mod flowers along with a stitched label.
