Gayle's Quilts

Here are some quilts I machine quilted for Gayle.  She actually made two of this first one.  One for her and her husband to snuggle under during the winter.  I quilted "Frisky Feathers" all over them.


 This second Thimbleberries quilt was a block of the month quilt that she made and I quilted "Kudzu" all over it.  It is a leafy pattern.  Turned out pretty.


Thanks for taking a look.  Happy quilting!

Barb's Quilt

Barb made this adorable quilt for a new granddaughter that is due soon.  She did the most beautiful embroidery on it.  I quilted a simple pantograph "Popcorn" all over it and I love how it turned out.



 Look at this one....the girl is looking in the mirror and her image is reflected.  Isn't that cool?

So cute...thanks for letting me quilt this for your Barb.  Hope you have a great weekend.

Night Shade Snow Globes

Here is another one of my own quilts....this is called "Snow Globes" made with the fabric "Night Shade" by Tula Pink!  I just had fun quilting this one and tried to use some of my techniques I've been learning from Angela Walters.  I love how it turned out.

 Look at these fabulous faces....Tula Pink has a whole story that involves these three sisters.  I quilted a lot of swirls and concentric circles.






Thanks so much for stopping by.  I'm enjoying my vacation home sewing away.  Have a good day!

Happy Quilting!

Fast Forward Quilt

Here is a quilt that I made for myself from one of Jaybird's patterns called "Fast Forward" wtih Terrain fabric from Kate Spain.  Julie Herman of Jaybird quilts has a lot of fun patterns and they are very easy to read and put together.   My next quilt is going to be made with her Ballerina pattern.  I custom machine quilted this with a blooming flower pattern that I do freehand.  I also used two pieces of batting to give it a little more loft.  I absolutely love how it turned out.  I even was able to get the binding stitched down!




The back was so pretty too.  Really loved the "Terrain" fabric line.  So bright and happy.  I have been on vacation all week from my real job and having sew much fun getting some of my own projects completed.  Thanks for stopping by.  Happy quilting!

My Favorite Quilt Shop! Stash

I want to tell you about a wonderful quilt shop called Stash that I found about three years ago in Walla Walla, Washington.  It's about 2 hours from my house but I make it there several times a year because I love it so much.  When you walk into this quilt shop you just feel the inspiration all around you.  There are a ton of projects made up in different kinds of fabrics so that you can picture what your project is going to look like.  I  just love that.  You may notice that several of these quilts hanging in the shop I have had the pleasure to quilt for the ladies of Stash.  This first one is "Kiss Kiss" by Tula Pink made with her fabrics "Night Shade".  This quilt was made by Kristen, one of the owners of Stash.  She co-owns this shop with two other wonderful friends, Kathy and Ann. They all have sew much fun running this shop and you can totally see it in their passion for making this shop the best it can be.

Here are some more shots of this wonderful shop.


 Look at the selection of pre-cuts they have.  You just don't see that every day.
 And lookie here....I think that "Rain Drop" quilt just might belong to me!  Can you believe it?  It's hanging on display.  It was so exciting for me to see it there.  Thanks Kristen, Kathy and Ann for hanging it up.
 And here is Tula's "Stacks" quilt that she taught us how to make on Saturday all quilted up by the wonderful Angela Walters.  Tula sent it ahead of time so it could be displayed at Stash for the Tula Experience.

Wow, I sure did have a fun weekend.  I can't stop thinking of all the laughs, fun times sewing, and meeting so many new, wonderful quilting friends.  Thank you Stash for bringing Tula to Walla Walla for this event and for all you do at your quilt shop.  You're truly an inspiration to many quilters!

Happy Quilting!

Tula Pink!

I had the most wonderful weekend!  I got to meet and attend a workshop/lecture featuring the great Tula Pink.  I was in awe of her and still can't believe I got to meet her.  Kristen, Kathy and Ann over at my favorite quilt shop, Stash, were able to get Tula to come to Walla Walla.  She is a kick to hang out with. So sweet and she is so fun to talk with. Tula has a wonderful smile and I absolutely love her passion for quilting.  It shows in her work for sure!  The Stash Girls really put on an awesome event. They had cake and snacks and of course, Wine!  So much fun.




Look at how cute Tula is!  So friendly and nice!

Here she is teaching our class on her Stacks quilt out of her book.  If you don't own her book I strongly suggest you get it.  This is my second quilt I've made out of her book and they are very easy to understand and make.

 Her Cartwheel quilt made with "The Birds and the Bees".  Tula makes all of her own quilts and I must say they are just perfect!  Couldn't stop looking at them and taking pictures.  The wonderul Angela Walters does all of her custom machine quilting.  I thought it was so gorgeous in pictures but when you actually see a quilt she has done in person, it is breathtaking.

 Snow Globes quilt made with her fabric "Night Shade"
 The back!
 Modern Alphabet quilt!
 Beanstalk Quilt
 The back of her Beanstalk Quilt!
 This is Tula's newest pattern "Space Dust"  It is a paper piecing pattern.  It's on my bucket list to do sometime soon!  Absolutley amazing!!!!!
 The fabulous quilting!
Just a wonderful weekend.  I can't thank Tula enough or Kristen, Kathy and Ann from Stash!  What a wonderful event that you all put on.  I couldn't stop smiling I had so much fun!  I will be back tomorrow to show you some neat pictures of my favorite quilt shop!

Have a wonderful day and happy quilting!

Eva's Quilts

Here are two more quilts from Eva.  She is a very busy quilter for only learning how to quilt last November.  Can you believe this?  She is very good at it....I would say a natural and she is already addicted to it.  We all knew that would happen.  Who doesn't become addicted to quilting once you start?  It's just too much fun.  Anyway, this first quilt is called French Roses.  I quilted a little paisley design in the background and then just quilted a bit around her raw edge applique.  Turned out adorable.



This quilt is called Daisy Chain and was made with a jelly roll.  I quilted "Paisley Playtime" on it and love how this turned out too! 


Way to go Eva!  Keep on quilting!  Have a great day!
