Happy June!

Good Monday Morning, my friends! Sorry for the absence of posting lately - I've been busy getting all the graduation t-shirt quilt orders completed and getting our youngest graduated from high school. So...... guess what? I'm taking a vacation. I leave tomorrow for Massachusetts to see my kids and new granddaughter and then on to Maine for my Mom's Guild School. (http://www.igma.org/guild_school/) I will reopen on July 3rd. Hope you all have a happy June!

Dressed to the Nines quilt

Carrie P brought in her "Dressed to the Nines" quilt, which was a block of the month from Sonflower Quilts from 2015. There is a lot of color going on in the quilt top - a lot of contrast between lights and darks - so it was a bit difficult to pick out a good color quilting thread. She ended up choosing Signet Ring, which is a variegated purple. It looks great with the quilting pattern Tangled Leaves.

Nascar t-shirt quilt

Jeanie K made this Nascar t-shirt quilt for her son. It is a very large quilt, 80x97 and it was hard to get the entire quilt in a photograph. So there are 2 different pictures of the complete quilt. We chose the quilting pattern Interlocking Dots because it gives motion to the quilt. Looks like her son is a Tony Stewart fan!

Pinwheels quilt

Here's a fourth quilt by Kathy D. She calls this one Pinwheels. She chose a bold thread color, which matched the colors in the pinwheels. If she had chosen white, the white would have detracted from the piecing. And the quilting pattern, Playful, accents the motion of the pinwheels.

Brown Floral quilt

Here is a third quilt by Kathy D. She called this one Brown Floral quilt. We quilted it with a beautiful pantograph quilting pattern called Pansy Swirl. Then we used a light blue thread on both the front and the back of the quilt.

Lynda's Indian Print's quilt

Kathy D also brought in this bright quilt. She calls it "Lynda's Indian Prints Quilt". Kathy's friend Lynda gave her some indian print fabrics and so Kathy turned them into this quilt. Kathy chose the quilting pattern called Arrowhead and used a variegated orange thread.

Tic Tac Toe quilt

Kathy D brought in her tic-tac-toe quilt with black and white accents. She ended up choosing the Puzzler quilting pattern with a black and white variegated thread. It turned out great!
