Coffee Bean Meander

Coffee Bean MeanderSometimes a quilt needs it’s own meander!  That’s what happened when I quilted this for Barbara.  Does it look like coffee beans to you?  I thought so!

Cup-O-Joe quiltBarbara used a few fat quarters and the Turning Twenty block pattern to make this quick gift for a friend.  How fun is that?!

Thanks!  Linda 🙂

 

Kinsey’s I-Spy

Kinsey’s I-Spy

Kinsey's I-SpyHere’s another fun I-Spy quilt by Candace of Double Nickel Quilts and Moore About Nancy – Nancy Cabot SewAlong.  What’s cool about this quilt is it has the same I-Spy squares as one of Kinsey’s siblings so they can play an I-Spy or a matching game together.

Name detailLittle loops and outlining define the name.

mod flowers and loopsThe quilting design is a freehand mod flowers and loops.

What’s your favorite I-Spy pattern?  The only I-Spy I’ve made was for my granddaughter for Christmas in 2005!  I can’t believe it was that long ago and that I could find a picture to share!

Bittersweet Crossing

 Another big one!  For a fairly new quilter, Kate’s tackled a big project with this block of the month quilt.  I love the 30’s fabrics! The batting is Quilter’s Dream Wool which is great for creating definition and texture.  It was a dream to quilt, too. Here’s a few detail pics for you!

Retreat Recap and Design Wall Monday

Retreat Recap and Design Wall Monday

Dancing Nines                                         Retreats are fun!  I worked on several projects including my current Postage Stamp quilt called “Dancing Nines”.  I’m almost to the half way point, 22 more blocks to go!  One block is the 4 nine patches with the off-set sashing strips, measuring 11 inches finished.  Check out Quiltville if you want to make your own. I also finished 3 scrappy coiled bowls! scrappy batik coiled bowls  scrappy coiled bowls 14The first two were random scrappy batiks and the last was controlled scrappy.   Jane’s Convergent Quilt is gone!  Jane was at our retreat and I gifted her one of the bowls using the fabric from her quilt lesson.  She couldn’t believe that I cut it up!  Now, I’m looking at my batiks remnants with purpose!  Of course, any fabric would work, but the batiks wrap easily and fray less. When I get caught up on longarm quilting, I will be sewing more coiled bowls! Check out Judy at Patchwork Times for other Design Wall Monday projects! Thanks!  Linda 🙂
