Quilting for......

 A beautiful sampler quilt by Dolores - with detail below and the back of the quilt shown next.


 This was a fun black & batik quilt by Dolores. Was unsure how well my machine would sew thru these true batik fabrics - they are very tightly woven. While in Houston for the IQF, I saw several quilts with wavy parallel lines for quilting - it gave them a very interesting texture. So I used that here - and just love how it turned out. The mine stripe backing, below - was interesting also!

 A beautiful small Christmas wallhanging made by Diane - I filled it with feathers.

 This is a quilt that Diane has made for a friend of hers - who loves dog.....

 Another cute throw quilt by Diane - with the back detail below....

 This picture is of a beautiful grandmother's flower garden made by an aunt - Denise added the blue border - which sets it off so beautifully. I quilted it and added the binding - a faux piping.....

Recent quilting for Miss Frances and Miss Betty

 This is Miss Betty's oh so cute strip quilt - Halloween style. She chose a solid black backing and a solid purple fabric for the binding. So I used a variegated thread on top and purple in the bobbin. She also had the inspiration to ask for spider webs to be quilted on it - for this, she supplied a bright shiny orange poly thread. It turned out so cute!
 Really love the back of the quilt - the bright orange spider webs really shine!
 I found a cute, easy pattern for pumpkins and bats that I used in the allover....
 This is her beautiful Christmas mandella quilt - uses a 10 degree wedge cutting tool...so pretty!

 This quilt top was started by Miss Frances' mother, finished by her almost 20 years ago. All that bias, I decided to quilt it heavy to get every flat. It worked so well - and stayed soft! I think it is an orange peel pattern.....
 I added the binding for her also. Learned a few tricks for doing a scalloped binding.....
Love this quilt from the back too!
