Logan's Memory QuiltAudrey designed a fun quilt for her son with fun novelty fabrics and fun block patterns.  To compliment her design process created a unique quiting design for each block.block detail

every block is different

quilting detailWhat a fun idea!  This is a great project for collecting novelty fabrics that have meaning and then practice making different blocks.  Put them all together and you have a memory quilt!  The challenge would be knowing when to quit collecting fabrics!

As you can see, I had fun making a unique quilting design for each block.  Fellow longarmers will know what I mean by stand and stare!

Thanks!  Linda 🙂

Back to quilting & Spring Fever

Back to quilting & Spring Fever

Buggy Barn Spring FeverWhen I got back from Houston and started looking at all my great pictures, I realized how far behind I was on posting customer quilts!  Here’s the latest Buggy Barn quilt by Candace of Double Nickel Quilt Challenge.  This is a fun pattern that uses 30 fat quarters, a great stash buster.  And in honor of our first snow of the season, an appropriate title, Spring Fever.quilting detailEach flower has a “feather branch” with a meander throughout the background.  Candace wanted minimal quilting but left the design up to me and I love how it looks.  It’s exactly what I would do if it was my quilt.backing detailThe backing view shows off the quilting.  Candace improved the quilt by washing and drying it to achieve the antique wrinkled look.

It seems like a lot of quilting but it’s still soft and flexible especially with washing and drying.

 

Deadlines are looming!  Thanks for looking!

Janann's Iowa Star

 

Do you recognize this block?  Yes, it’s called Iowa Star.  Janann designed an awesome fall wall hanging featuring Iowa Star blocks.

overlapping designs

 

The quilting design overlaps the blocks creating a secondary pattern.  This quilt was so much fun to stitch and watch the designs come together.

fun feather designs

 

I love how it looks!

back quilting detail

The pieced back has a lighter color which shows of the quilting design.  I love it!

Yes, I’m going to Houston Quilt Festival but before that I’ll be going to the AQS in Des Moines!  Will you be there?

Thanks!   Linda 🙂

Four Babies and a Wedding!

Four Babies and a Wedding!

great girl colorsBaby #4, Aria Lennon, was born today!!  She’s so sweet and cuddly, we had to make a trip to the hospital to see her.

Aria LennonI had so much fun making Aria’s Tummy Time quilt with 2 fat quarter bundles of fairy princess fabrics!

 

Most of my baby quilts are super scrappy but this one is coordinated and designed for the fabric.  My quilting buddy, Candace, helped design the layout, color placement and border design.

Aria's Fairy Princess Tummy Time quilt

raw edge appliqueEach block has a fussy cut princess with raw edge applique.  I attached them to the center with a bunch of longarm quilting!

quilting detailEach block has it’s own quilting detail.

wrapped and readyI washed and dried the quilt to fluff up the applique edges and soften the quilt.  Here it is all wrapped and ready with a Lil’ Lovee attached.

Now that the babies are done for the year, the next big event is a wedding!!!  Stay tuned for that reveal!!

 

Until then, I’m linking up with Such a Sew and Sew:  A Stitch In Time for another August finish!  Check out other August finishes here.

Labyrinth by Lois

Labyrinth feather quilting

 

Definitely feathers!  Every element of this Labyrinth quilt by Lois is quilted with a feather variation.   The thread is InvisaFil by WonderFil, which quilted beautifully!  I initially planned to match the thread to the fabric but decided to contrast the black fabric with the same brown thread used in the other areas.  I love it!

This color palette is difficult to photograph.  The first photograph represents the fabric color.

 

Lois’ Labyrinth quilt is probably the most common pattern, however if you search for “labyrinth quilt” on the internet, you’ll find quite a variety of designs!

The back view highlights the quilting, too!  Of course, I love it!

Thanks!  Linda 🙂
