Dragons! When Nancy sent me the Dragon quilt, her instructions were to have fun with it! And have fun, I did!
Seven thread colors, multiple custom designs and lots of details later resulted in a fun quilt for Nancy’s grandson.
I hope her grandson enjoys his quilt as much as I enjoyed quilting it!
Thanks!

I met Mary Ellen at a quilting retreat in January when she started this quilt.
Aren’t the colors awesome!
The pattern is called Fancy That. I love the colors Mary Ellen selected for this quilt.
It was fun to select thread to compliment the gold flecked black. We decided to use a deep rust and it looks great!
The quilting design is a freehand edge to edge called peacock feathers meander.
Stay tuned for a repeat of this quilt in completely different fabrics by another retreat attendee, Ellen!
Thanks! Linda 🙂
Chevrons and zig zags are everywhere! Ashton, a new quilter, designed this modern chevron quilt for a new baby’s room. The orange matches the decor and the single row of aqua adds a splash of interest.
Ashton asked for a big swirly quilting design. No problem! I love quilting “Swirl ‘n Curl”! Quilting big can be a problem as I tend to quilt small!
The half square triangles are 8″ blocks and my swirls cover the area without being too tiny!
The backing is light and the view from the back is cool, too!
Have you made a chevron quilt or plan to? Here’s a great pattern from Double Nickel Quilt Challenge called Chevrony. It’s on my quilts to make list. Check out my Pinterest Quilts to Make board for other quilts on my list!
Thanks! Linda 🙂
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!

A big thank you to Rainbows and Calico Things quilt shop for a fun summer retreat reunion weekend! One of the benefits of spending time with fellow quilters is brainstorming and exchanging ideas.
That resulted in my plan to change this nine patch and solid WIP to an on point layout. I’m going back to the drawing board, pulling more fabrics to make additional nine patches and looking for a possible border fabric.
I like it!
