Purple Puzzle Quilt for Alexis

Purple Puzzle Quilt for Alexis

Alexis surpiseMy 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!Alexis's Purple PuzzlesOnce I knew purple was her favorite color, I started collecting and trading purple fat quarters and then designed a simple puzzle pattern using EQ7.simple grid quiltingUsing five different purple threads, I quilted a simple uneven grid.  The different threads don’t show as much as I thought they would!

Thanks!!

New Quilt Easy Video

New Quilt Easy Video

I love quilting the Rainbow Twister quilts with a continuous pinwheel design.  I chose a neutral thread that contrasts with all the classic Kona charm squares.  In this case, it’s Superior So Fine! #50 – 458 Lone Wolf.  The batting is Quilters Dream Puff, a favorite, to add some loft.  Enjoy the Quilt Easy video!

Sometimes, I plan to quilt two projects at once, like this Rainbow Twister.  These are for two little one year old boys!  Alex got his last week, I’m excited for E to get his next week!

The second pass of vertical lines is added to complete the grid but I don’t remove and rotate the quilts, I use the needle down on my machine and advance the quilt!  Easy!

Thanks!

First Tummy Time Quilt of 2015!

First Tummy Time Quilt of 2015!

Mom to be!Yes, those string blocks are from my January retreat sewing!  How about that for getting a quilt done in time for the baby shower?!  Thirty six string blocks make a great Tummy Time quilt.  The pattern is a free download from MaryQuilts.com, called Rectangle Strings.  If you wanted to make a bigger quilt, add borders.  I leave off the borders so the quilt finishes at width of fabric.Baby Hartman pink string quiltThe quilting is a double meander scrunched together, which looks like ruffles.  This quilting design will be another Quilt Easy video when I find another quilt to do it on!stitched labelSince the baby’s name hasn’t been revealed, the stitched label is “Baby Girl”!  I’m usually only making quilts for my big family but this one is for a very special neighbor.  And just to be safe, I’ve got more baby quilts in the works!

I sure hope spring follows Spring Ahead today!  I’m ready for winter to be over!

PSQ2 – Signed, Sealed and Delivered!!

PSQ2 – Signed, Sealed and Delivered!!

Wrapped and readyYesterday, my hubby’s cousin received a belated birthday/Christmas present from me via UPS!  My second Postage Stamp Quilt – Dancing Nines, 1,728 Charms!  Jeannine was on my Bucket List of quilts to make and I was excited to give it to her.  And coincidentally,  she’s having surgery this week so it’s also a long distance hug from us.Dancing Nines - PSQ2I love scrap quilts and Quiltville is a great source for them!  This quilt is based on Bonnie Hunter’s free pattern called Dancing Nines.  I chose to use my collection of postage stamp 2″ charms from The Curious Quilter swaps and I didn’t add the borders.  Dancing Nines quilting detailI loved quilting this with freehand orange peel in the nine patches and big pebbles in the sashing.

I’m ready to start my third PSQ if I can decide on the next pattern!

As 2014 comes to an end,  I’m thankful to those who have partnered with me to finish their projects and looking forward the many I have waiting for me to start in 2015!
