My Emilie is finishing up a photography class and “had” to go take some pictures. Hers are so much better than mine – but I did have fun.
The passion flower is one of my very favorites.
The flocks made me think of my Mom’s garden in Indy.
Wish the fountain had been running – but it was still cool.
Cena brought me several Christmas quilts to quilt – yes she is so ahead of the game. Since they were the same – I had to quilt them different. :)
I used the gold Glide thread on both of them and it looked like it was metallic.
One of the quilts I did ruler work and followed the piecing. The fabric is so busy that it was hard to see, but the spaces between the quilting was lovely.
The second quilt, I did an all over free-hand feather for the center and a half-feather in the border. Even this simpler design is hard to see with the fabrics.
Of the two, I like the one with the ruler work better.
I totally love how this quilt turned out. The pictures have the color off a little – it is navy blue and a medium grey. I put the grey on the back as well. I was going to make a large lap but it ended up being about twin sized.
This quilt was made for Rand – who house sat for us and watched our 3 obnoxious dogs while we were on vacation. From the sounds of it, they kept him quite busy. They are all rather needy when we are gone since they are used to having their people home almost every minute of the day.
He told me that he wanted grey and navy blue – so it is pieced in strips.
I finished quilting a cool quilt of Cena’s this week.
The story behind the quilt made it so much more fun to do some fabulous quilting on. Cena had taught a class some years ago on piecing hexagons. One of her students gave her the blocks because she had no intention of finishing the project. Cena found out that her daughter was graduating and but a top together highlighting the hexagon blocks. What a great gift to the daughter. So, with such a cool story, I knew I was going to have to kill it with the quilting. I think that this is my best so far. I am learning so much with each project.
I changed up the quilting for the center 2 squares to add a little interest.
I had given myself a deadline that would probably had been ok – if my thread had cooperated. I had used the brand of thread before with great results – hoping it is just this cone. The thread broke so much – that I spent most of the 14 hours re-threading the machine. Let’s just say that I am getting really good at starting. I tried everything I could think of, even rereading the manual for tips.
I really like that she often pieces her backs.
