Bluejean Quilts

I completed two bluejean quilts for a customer. This was my first time with bluejeans. It wasn't as difficult as I thought. I used a soft navy flannel for the backing. The pattern came from allpeoplequilt.com.
I also finished a christmas bed quilt. Holiday Chorus. The fabric is the same name by Andover. The colors are so rich.

More recent finishes

More model stitching. I love this pattern. It's the Angel Table Topper by Anni Downs of Hatched and Patched.


And this is a little pink and brown quilt I did. I started making 9 patches and couldn't stop. I made two little quilts for wallhangings and had enough to make this teeny one measuring just 10" x 13". I think it will hang by my sewing machine. I love making little quilts and I love these colors. Most of the fabrics are from Charleston IV with a few others thrown in.

T-shirt quilt

Here is a t-shirt quilt that will be a customer's gift to her husband for Christmas. He was a coach for many years. Now it's off to finish one for the same customer's daughter.
I squeezed in a little wall quilt in the meantime and did some free motion flowers on it. I'm quite proud of them. This was all done on a Bernina 440QE.

Bridesmaid Dress, Stichery and more

I made 2 pillowcase dresses for 2 flower girls. This was my first attempt at the dresses. I think they turned out rather well. It helps that the pillowcase was so pretty to begin with.


I finished two model stitcheries also. They are both by Cinderberry Stitches. The first is the stitched angel bag and the second is Madeline's Tea Party

Quilts

I have finished a baby quilt for a friend at work. She picked out the fabrics. I hope she likes the way I put it together. I quilted flowers into it. She's expecting her second girl. I also finished this Barn Raising done in civil war reproduction prints. I machine quilted this in a flower pattern. This is one of my favorite quilts to date. I love the prints, the colors and I'm just really pleased with my quilting on it.

Here is a memory quilt I did for a customer. It is made from her son's baby clothes. I cut well over 1000 pieces for this Courthouse steps quilt.


And a quilt I finished for the local Jewish school. This quilt has since traveled to Hadera, Israel to hang in the City Hall there. I quilted the Jewish star into the border. The quilt is also done in the colors of the Jewish flag.

A Natalie Ross finish- For You With Love. This little bag and pillow were so easy to put together and I love the fabrics. What a great idea for a quick gift. You could whip these suckers out in a weekend.

Wow time flies

I am so behind. I cannot believe how time flies. I have been very busy. There will be much to look at as I have lots of pics to add.

I have been working diligently on a stitchery quilt “Polka Dot Girls” by Brownwyn Hayes. I love the way it turned out the. These pics don’t do it justice.
Here is the quilt and some close ups of the stitchery as well as a pillow.
