Diane's Embroidered/Pieced/Wholecloth Quilt


Diane made this beautiful part embroidered, part pieced, and part wholecloth quilt. 


She requested variegated thread for the embroidered blocks so that the quilting shows up better.



I just quilted on the suggested quilting lines. 





The backside.



Thanks Diane!

Julie's T-Shirt Quilt


T-Shirt quilting in progress.


Julie made this beautiful t-shirt quilt.








The back!



I just can't keep with one or two designs in a t-shirt quilt anymore these days. Anything goes!


Loved it! Thanks Julie!

Fire trucks and American Flag Quilts


Lois made these two fun quilts. This one is an almost dimensional window pane pattern with firetruck prints.


I quilted spikey paisleys with some circles in the mix.



Here's a fun flag pattern.


This was the perfect opportunity for some red, white, and blue variegated thread.



Swirls and stars



Thanks so much Lois!

What's Black, White and Red all over?


Lois's quilt! 


I couldn't resist quilting some straight lines across the checkerboard pattern of this quilt.


And added some red curls for contrast in the borders.




The back.



Thanks Lois!

Diane made this pretty T-Shirt quilt for a special granddaughter. 


I always outline the shirt designs and fill in the rest with a few different designs.





Thanks Diane!

Lots of swirls and movement in this one. 






Thanks Jann!
