Dolly Quilts and Super Hero Blanket!

Dolly Quilts and Super Hero Blanket! 

I can’t help it!  I love buying mini charm packs to make dolly quilts!  And it gave me something to buy when I went to Paducah for Quilt Fest last month,  like I needed help!

Don’t they look cute?  All bundled for giving to one year old twins.

I also couldn’t resist making Liam a Marvel super hero blanket.  I say blanket because it’s fabric and polar fleece quilted together, no batting.  After missing his Hulk and Captain America 2 year birthday party, I knew this would be a perfect belated present.

And I think he likes it!!  He has the best cheesy smile!!

 

Have a great holiday weekend and stay safe this Memorial Day.

Janann's Glacier StarJanann’s Glacier Star palette is totally different from Mary’s and I love the desert look.The batting is a layer of Quilters Dream Blend and Dream Poly, which fills out the quilting designs nicely.

Now that I’ve figured out how to post from my phone,  yay!, expect more mini posts from me! 

Thanks!  Linda

A Stitching Video

A Stitching Video

This is for my friends who haven’t seen my longarm set up!  A picture, in this case, a video, explains it much better than I can!

Click here to view my longarm demo YouTube Video!  The quilt is 99″ wide, I’m using Superior Threads So Fine #50 and the batting is Quilters Dream Poly Select.  My machine is a 2012 APQS Freedom with a Bliss Drive on at 12 foot table!  My posture is not great when I’m stitching so you can see why we longarmers complain about back pain!

The stitching looks like this.The thread is a blue grey and I love the look on the bright colors.

Thanks!

Linda 🙂
