Barb’s Purple and Green – This is how I do it!

Barb's Purple and Green column quiltWhen Barb and I discussed her quilt, I suggested green thread for the E2E Floral Meander quilting design.  I like to match the top and bobbin thread so the green thread would be a nice contrast for the purple backing fabric.  I love it!Floral Meander back detail The batting is Quilters Dream Puff, which enhances the quilting, too.Floral Meander front detailWe’re playing with a new camera attached to my longarm, so here’s a video of how I quilt my Floral Meander!  Enjoy!

Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Hannah’s Quilt and more Quilt Pictures!

Hannah’s Quilt and more Quilt Pictures!

Hannah's 4 H Lone Star quiltJack‘s cousin, Hannah, made a scrappy Lone Star quilt with the help of her grandma for 4H.  Hannah and family stopped by the studio to take project pictures and watch me quilt some of the quilt.

Lone Star detail quiltingI put the ruler foot and extended base back on my longarm to make the CC around the points of the Lone Star and SID the star and background, the rest is freehand quilting.  Now that my ruler foot is back on, I’ll have to find some more projects for ruler work!

Lone Star background quiltingThe batting is Quilter’s Dream Puff and the thread is two different colors of Superior Rainbows.  When Hannah gets a little taller, maybe I’ll let her quilt on her own quilt like her cousin Jack!

Aria’s Hawkeye Rainbow Twister

Aria's Hawkeye Rainbow TwisterWe celebrated Aria’s first birthday last weekend and like Landon, I made a Lil’ Twister for her.  Iowa Hawkeye fabric is perfect for this family and I added a 2 1/2″ border after sewing the twisters together.  This is so fun to make, but I’ll need to get another pack of Kona charms squares to make more!lil twister and itty bitty twister before cuttingHere’s what the quilt looks like before the Lil’ Twister cutting.  The smaller one is the waste squares from Landon’s Lil’ Twister before cutting with the Itty Bitty template.Itty Bitty TwisterHere’s the Itty Bitty Twister sewn together.  The cutting mat grids are an inch and the twisters are about the size of a quarter!  It’s tiny!  This is still in the unfinished phase, I haven’t decided how to quilt and finish it!Me and Aria at her birthday partyAfter playing in the splash pad, we got Aria to cooperate and get a picture of us!  Isn’t she adorable?!  The back of the Lil’ Twister is Hawkeye fabric, too, perfect for a table topper during football season!

Here’s  photo progression of making Landon’s Lil’ Twister quilt, time for you to make one, too!!  If you click on the pictures, there’s a description of the process, too.

Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!
