Here’s a sneak peak at another Glacier Star quilt! Of course, it’s the back.
I’m also testing using my phone to make this blog post!
Thanks for letting me run this test!

Happy Wedding, Chelsea and Brian!
Earlier this month we celebrated at Chelsea and Brian’s wedding and here’s my present to them! This is my design using Moda Grunge 5″ charm packs for the off center vertical design and the horizontal row in the back. My title for this quilt is “Modern Rustic Charm”. I love the distressed nature of the Grunge fabric!
The backing needed the extra row to make it big enough.
The quilting design is a back forth grid matching the size of the charm squares with the couple’s name and wedding date stitched in the quilt.
I love Moda’s Grunge line of fabric. The newest line of colors is out, here’s a place to buy it! I have an idea for a jelly roll pattern, so it’s on my wish list!!
That’s 4 weddings and 2 babies so far this year! And there’s still more to come! If time permits, I hope to post some awesome customer, too!
Happy stitching!

Purple Puzzle Quilt for Alexis
My grand niece, Alexis, will be a sophomore in college so I’m only one year late for this high school graduation quilt! I think she was surprised!
Once I knew purple was her favorite color, I started collecting and trading purple fat quarters and then designed a simple puzzle pattern using EQ7.
Using five different purple threads, I quilted a simple uneven grid. The different threads don’t show as much as I thought they would!
Thanks!!

Tammy’s Courthouse Steps with Back and Forth Feathers
I knew exactly what I wanted to quilt on Tammy’s Courthouse Steps quilt, Back and Forth Feathers! I usually use this design on quilts with an “on point” design, click here for an example.
Even though this quilt is straight set, the courthouse step design creates it’s own on point design.
The back reveals the on point quilting design better than the front!
A little pinwheel is created where the back and forth feathers come together. I love secondary patterns and this quilt has many.
Back and forth feathers adds great quilting detail and texture, yet, it’s still soft and cuddly!
Thanks! Linda 🙂

Fancy That! Again!
Fancy That strikes again! Here’s Ellen’s retreat quilt from the pattern, “Fancy That”. Check here for Mary Ellen’s version with dark background fabric.
The batting is Quilter’s Dream Wool which adds so much texture to the quilting. A freehand edge to edge, Lettuce Leaf meander is perfect!
The thread color is white and I love the way it looks on the dark batik backing fabric. This quilt is reversible!
I spent the day at the largest flea market in Iowa yesterday! Stay tuned for a vintage find post!
Thanks! Linda 🙂
