Garden Tea Party Quilt...

 

Time to get a binding on this quilt...

I place the folgers can on the floor 

between my feet and the binding 

feeds beautifully up and onto 

the quilt as I stitch it in place.

Binding clips hold the binding in place

as I stitch it down...

Almost done stitching the binding...

always a great feeling !

She's all bound and ready to go...

It was raining today, so I couldn't take her

outside for a full length photo shoot...

Machine quilting close up view:

Swirls and flower petal motifs...

This was a FUN one to machine quilt...

Always a great feeling to get a quilt 

to completion...

This quilt is on its' way to someone

who has had surgery and now radiation.

I hope it brings her comfort and peace

when she needs it most.

It is quilted, bound and up on the wall

in our living room...

This horse panel is surrounded with

english paper pieced hexagons...

I love paper piecing and it was fun

to incorporate that into the

edge treatment on this quilt...

This image reminds me of looking out

the kitchen window to see our own horses

looking back at me over the yard fence...

Close-Up views of the Hexagons:

 It grabs my attention every time I walk through

the room...I can almost hear the horses

whinny at me.

Baby Nines....Quilted & Bound

The Baby Nines Quilt is....DONE ! 

I machine quilted daisies all over...

I just kind of made this design up

as I went along....it was great FUN !

I had this lavender binding cut out

a few years ago and never used it...

it works nicely on this baby quilt.

How about that PINK backing...

This is a gift for our tractor mechanic...

He has been coming out to our place for

a few weeks now working on my

red tractor (it blew up last hay season)...

His baby is due any day

and the baby quilt is ready to go !

Poppies Quilt...

 

The binding is stitched in place

and the Poppies Quilt is on our bed !

It is definitely Spring here in Western Oregon

and the flowers are beginning to bloom,

even the ones on our bed !

I absolutely loved this line of fabric

and just had to make a quilt with it...

The center Poppy panel is so beautiful...

I kept the outer borders white so there

would be no distraction from the 

center of the quilt...

This quilt brightens up our room...

Makes me happy every time I walk

in the room...

Nothing like sleeping under a 

hand made quilt.

Medallion Star Quilt...DONE !

The last time I posted this quilt

it was still on the design wall... 

I was just finishing up the borders...

Today the machine quilting is complete

and I am in the binding stage...

I always use my trusty Folgers can to hold my

binding while I am at the machine...

I can't live without my clips

to hold down the folded edge of the binding...

I recently made a few of these Clam Up pouches

to hold my binding clips...

The pouches open wide and it is easy

to get the clips in and out while I am working...

Machine Quilting Close Ups:

I used a C fill for the center of the quilt...

A curly feather for the pieced border

that surrounds the center medallion star...

C fill again in the small stars area of the quilt...

The final border on the right side,

I used my straight ruler and did

some crosshatch grid quilting...

This is a queen size bed quilt  90 x 90 inches

It is a holiday gift

and nothing gets things done like...

a deadline !

The label is sewn to the back side...

Need to find a box and get this wrapped

and under the tree...

Believe it or not,

I still have one more quilt to finish up...yikes !
