Baby Elijah’s Tummy Time Quilt revealed!

Baby Elijah’s Tummy Time Quilt revealed!

Elijah's Tummy TimeHere’s my first Tummy Time quilt of 2014!  This is for Elijah, my cousin’s first grandson born March 19!  I had fun using a coordinated set of fat quarters to make this sweet baby boy quilt.   The quilting design is freehand Monkey Tails, the batting is Quilter’s Dream Puff and the thread is Superior So Fine!#50.

marker labelI finished this week, attached the label and mailed it!  When I need it fast, I use a fine fabric marker for the label.  I’m out of practice using my embroidery machine!

My niece makes the cutest little blankies out of furry fabric.  It’s a Softee for the baby’s cheek!

So Fine 50

 

 

And this is only my So Fine! #50 collection!  My wonderful hubby replaced the lights over my longarm for my birthday, which prompted taking a thread inventory and cleaning.  As you can see, I love using Superior Threads So Fine! #50 thread!  Believe it or not, I made a short shopping list for the AQS show in Des Moines this weekend.

The lights are on!

 

 

 

 

 

I’m excited to load a quilt and see if the new lights are in improvement.  Just in time for the shorter days, so I can keep stitching later!

Are you going to the AQS show in Des Moines?  I’ll be working at Rainbows and Calico Things Thursday, come see me when you’re driving to Des Moines!  And I’ll be Des Moines for the weekend, sewing with friends and cruising the quilt show and vendors!  See you there!

Wedding Bands,  Stellar Quilts

 

In honor of our 22 wedding anniversary today, I’m sharing Wedding Bands!  The quilt pattern can be found in Judy Martin’s book, Stellar Quilts.

It’s a big one!  Much bigger than my hanging space and the space at the Williamsburg Quilt show, where it’s on display this weekend.

My friend and co-worker, Candra, perfectly pieced this quilt and had every intention of hand quilting it for her client.

I was very honored that she entrusted me to quilt it similar to the quilting design in Judy Martin’s book.  Candra added additional borders to the quilt, giving me space to extend the quilting theme of ghosted blocks surrounded by feathers.  I thoroughly enjoyed quilting this but after having it on the frame for 2 1/2 weeks, I took a break!

The thread is a matching So Fine! #50 in each area.  The batting is Quilter’s Dream Poly select.  Enjoy the pictures and thanks for looking!
