Logan's Memory QuiltAudrey designed a fun quilt for her son with fun novelty fabrics and fun block patterns.  To compliment her design process created a unique quiting design for each block.block detail

every block is different

quilting detailWhat a fun idea!  This is a great project for collecting novelty fabrics that have meaning and then practice making different blocks.  Put them all together and you have a memory quilt!  The challenge would be knowing when to quit collecting fabrics!

As you can see, I had fun making a unique quilting design for each block.  Fellow longarmers will know what I mean by stand and stare!

Thanks!  Linda 🙂

 

Back to quilting & Spring Fever

Back to quilting & Spring Fever

Buggy Barn Spring FeverWhen I got back from Houston and started looking at all my great pictures, I realized how far behind I was on posting customer quilts!  Here’s the latest Buggy Barn quilt by Candace of Double Nickel Quilt Challenge.  This is a fun pattern that uses 30 fat quarters, a great stash buster.  And in honor of our first snow of the season, an appropriate title, Spring Fever.quilting detailEach flower has a “feather branch” with a meander throughout the background.  Candace wanted minimal quilting but left the design up to me and I love how it looks.  It’s exactly what I would do if it was my quilt.backing detailThe backing view shows off the quilting.  Candace improved the quilt by washing and drying it to achieve the antique wrinkled look.

It seems like a lot of quilting but it’s still soft and flexible especially with washing and drying.

 

Deadlines are looming!  Thanks for looking!

Houston trip scraps

I have a scrappy problem!  I can’t stop buying little bags of scraps!  But, I love sorting and cutting scraps, so I’m happy!

 

Our trip to Houston was organized by Sew Great Tours and I highly recommend you get on the next bus!  We had a fabulous time, made new friends and saw some wonderful sights in addition to Festival.  Yes, we did stop at a few quilt shops on the way, too!

 

 

The quilt show was incredible!  Lots and lots of quilting eye candy.  Here’s a link to the winners.

Paducah or Sisters, Oregon?  What’s next?

Thanks!  🙂 Linda

A few finds in Omaha…

A few finds in Omaha…

Fire King bowl and scrap fabric

Old Market is a fun area for vintage shopping in downtown Omaha.  Our daughter is a great searching partner, we both look for different things so we don’t miss anything fun!  She treated me to this pristine Fire King bowl, sweet!

 

We found a few quilt shops to check out around Omaha, too.  I bought a couple scrap bags and my granddaughter selected a mystery bag of $1 fat quarters.   The funny thing is the scrap bags I picked out were mostly green and the mystery fat quarters were green!!  And I might have embarrassed my daughter when I noticed some fabric in the trash and asked if they were going to throw it away!?  Well, yes and she gave it to me!  That’s the fabric in the bowl.  Fabric in the trash is not safe around me!

The countdown to Festival begins!  Are you going?  Have you been?

Thanks.  Linda 🙂
