Applique and Broderie Perse Table topper
Linda has created a table topper of her own design with applique borders and a broderie perse basket of flowers in the center and 3 corners.
The batting is Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton select, perfect for table toppers because it drapes well and is very flat. The thread is 2 colors of Superior OMNI.
Every part has a different element, so enjoy the pictures!
Linda’s very creative with her quilt backs!
Thanks for looking and have a Happy Mother’s Day weekend!

SpinSanity by Celia
Isn’t this a fun quilt?! The pattern is Spinsanity, but Celia has changed it from the original. Do you do make changes to patterns?
I was very excited to learn that Celia will be adding a piping element next to the binding. It will be the same fabric as the narrow border. I hope I get to see it after it’s finished.
For the quilting, we decided to do separate border designs, background fill in the dark areas and create a floral element for the spinning block centers. I changed the thread color from Rainbows in the border and blocks to So Fine 50 in the narrow border and OMNI in the dark background.
The wool batting shows off the quilting with the right light. Enjoy the pictures, I love how this quilt turned out!
I love the unexpected spinning flower in the blocks!
I love it when you turn the quilt to the back and it looks awesome! I was a little worried about matching the bobbin thread to the dark OMNI thread for the background fill but it looks great on the back.
How many times did I say “love”?!
Thanks for looking and just keep “stitchin” !

Splash Pantograph
Marty gave me free reign to select a pantograph for her guitar quilt. I chose the pantograph called Splash. I love it for musical quilts, it just has that feel. When I pick a pantograph or designs for quilting, I pick something that creates a mood or expression instead of replicating the motif of the quilt. For example, I’m not going to stitch guitars on this quilt. For one, it’s very hard to see what the motif is after it’s quilted and I don’t want the viewer looking at the thread trying to figure out what’s stitched out. I want them to look at the whole quilt and say, “Wow, I love how that feels!”
The batting is Quilter’s Dream Puff which really shows off the quilting, and the thread is a new spool of red Superior OMNI!
The backing fabric is black, which is hard to photograph, but I wanted to show you the contrasting red thread used in the bobbin. It really works for this quilt. Marty loved the subtle heart detail created by the pantograph.
Thanks for looking and just keep stitchin’ !

Bryan and Ginny Quilt
Bryan is one of my “guy” quilters! We’re using a neutral thread, Superior OMNI Buff, Quilter’s Dream Puff batting and a pantograph called “Lime Tree”
For a new quilter, Bryan is already a good sewer and takes the time to piece the back, too!
I was very excited when I saw Ginny’s quilt! I knew exactly what E2E freehand design I wanted to do and I was hoping she would agree to hot pink thread. I had just finished two large quilts where the thread got lost in the quilting. As I was quilting those, I was thinking that the next quilt is going to have hot pink thread so I could see it! And here comes Ginny with the perfect quilt!
The thread is Superior OMNI Petunia , the batting is Quilter’s Dream Puff and the E2E design is my Cockscomb meander. I will have to say the I lost the pink thread in some of the red fabrics, and I love the pink on the blue fabric.
Our college aged daughter will be home for a long Easter weekend, so I’m sure I’ll be doing laundry instead of blogging! Hope you have a great weekend, too!
Thanks for looking and just keep stitchin’ !
