This is another large original quilt by Linda P. using poppy panels and lots of random piecing. I love how she used multiple fabrics and pieced elements to make this quilt. The quilting is a mixture of freehand “drawings”. Each element has it’s own style of texture. Enjoy the pics!
And Linda never fails to surprise me with her “everything but the kitchen sink” backs.

Thanks! 🙂 Linda
Last year, I was honored to make a surprise Christmas present for a very special person. The t-shirts had two themes – clowning or The Hamburg Inn. Some of the shirts were one of a kind and rare!
A t-shirt quilt is a great way to “keep” those special shirts that you can’t throw away but no longer want to wear them.
I love the shirts that are very worn or have stains on them! Adds character!
Last summer, I quilted Julie’s quilt for her college bound daughter, Maggie. She choose a BQ3 pattern to set the t-shirts, which gives it a totally different look. The cow tail and small patches applied are a couple fun details, too!
Do you have a favorite T-Shirt quilt making method?
If you find yourself in Iowa City, IA, be sure to dine at The Hamburg Inn, it’s an experience you won’t regret or forget. Some people walk miles to enjoy their cuisine!
Still time to enter my book giveaway, here’s the link. 🙂 Linda
Marilyn’s quilt was perfect for freehand feather meandering. She wanted something more than a basic meandering but not as much as custom. It’s hard to see in this picture but we selected a soft green thread to accent the yellow fabric.
The detail shows how the feathers wander around the quilt, I love it!
I’ve been crazy busy lately, quilting quilts and having family fun!
Tomorrow, I’ll be going to a 3 day retreat to sew all day and maybe all night! Rainbows and Calico Things Quilt shop has a new retreat room and we’re excited to be the first group to initiate it! I’ll be working on my UGLY fabric challenge so look for pictures to follow. If you want to follow my retreat adventures, head over to my Facebook page, I’ll be posting pictures of our adventures!
Have a great weekend, I know I will!!!

Here’s my first foray in quilting videos! Thanks to Connie at Artisan at Heart for requesting it and to my dear hubby for operating the camera and getting it uploaded to YouTube. The tricky part is trying to sew with the Millennium handles straight up so they are out of the camera view.
I designed this E2E pattern when Candace of Double Nickel Quilt Challenge brought me a quilt with Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I call it Cockscomb Meander but another good name would be Fassett Flowers! It’s very simple and easy to change for your own personal style and density. Here’s some quilts with the design. Ginny’s Quilt. Candace’s Quilt. Hope you like it and have fun!!
Thanks for looking and just keep stitchin’ !

If you have any kids or grandchildren, you might have seen one of these. I have used it to remove blue or purple marks from a quilt that I didn’t want to spray or get very wet.
On batik quilts, the needle holes are very hard to remove after unstitching.The AquaDoodle can put water right on the needle holes and close them without bleeding the fabrics. Here’s the before and after pics!
Pretty slick!!!
