Landon’s Lil’ Rainbow Twister

Wrapped and readyLandon’s one year birthday party is this weekend!  We can’t attend his party so I gave him his present last night.  Of course, I decided on Monday night to make this Lil’ Rainbow Twister!  No fear, it’s a fast project and I was finished Tuesday night.Landon's Rainbow Lil TwisterI used a neutral Superior So Fine! #5o thread for the quilting and Quilter’s Dream Puff for the batting.  The quilted pinwheel is freehand fun!Mickey Mouse backing fabricLandon loves Mickey Mouse and I was lucky to find some locally!look at those colors!He found the Mickey fabric right away!

I took pictures as I was making the Lil’ Rainbow Twister to show the progression of making a Lil’ Twister quilt.  They can be viewed on my Google+ page here.  Click through to the individual pictures for descriptions.

Thanks!  I hope you’re encouraged to try your Twister Tool, whatever size you have.  I’ll be attempting to cut the waste squares from this rainbow project to make an Itty Bitty Twister!

New Favorite Thread!

New Favorite Thread!

I love thread!  Have you purchased quilting thread just hoping you’ll get to use it?  That’s what I did with my recent purchase of Superior Threads Bright Light Green.   It’s much brighter and more florescent in person!  It didn’t happen immediately but I finally got to use it, three times in a row!

The first quilt was Kinsey’s quilt.  My first instinct was to use aqua but that looked dull, the bright green was perfect!  I only wish I had bought 2 spools so I didn’t have to unthread to wind a bunch of bobbins!

The pantograph is Daisy Swirl by Jodi Beamish.

 

The second is an original Friendship Star quilt by Karen.  Again, the lime color just popped out and we went for the bright color to accent fabric.

The third one is Candy’s Lil’ Twister quilt from our summer retreat.  The brightest fabric is the lime green and the thread tied it all together!

Needless to say, I’ll be getting another spool of this thread for bobbin winding!  Fortunately, there’s an AQS quilt show in Des Moines next week with lots of vendors, including Superior Threads…I hope!

Thanks for looking!  🙂 Linda
