Maya and Carl's Wedding Quilt

I put this quilt together for my niece, Maya, and her husband to be in less than a month, Carl. It's a variation of the pattern Turning Twenty. I quilted it with the quilting pattern called Whimsical Hearts and I used Blue Jay blue thread. I hope they like it and it keeps them warm in Seattle!

Wedding Quilt for Chicago Cubs Fans

All it takes is a piece of warm fuzzy fleece, a quilting pattern and a backing to make a great throw quilt for a baseball fan. What else would they want for their wedding? This one is going to Chicago this fall! Red thread was used and the pattern Go Cubs was used.




Red flannel backing makes for a very warm and cozy quilt.







Quilts of Valor # 3





Here is quilt # 3. It's an autograph quilt from a lot of people wishing all well and peace. The quilting pattern used on this one is called Stars and Strips and it was quilted with Ficelle colored thread.

Quilts of Valor #2

The second Quilt of Valor quilt brought to me to quilt. The pattern quilted on it was American heroes done in Yale Blue thread. A typical rail fence pattern coupled with the top star row at the top. Makes a very nice quilt!

The local collector and distributor "Queen of Quilts of Valor" brought over this quilt for me to quilt for her. I used Mother Goose thread and the quilting pattern is Where Eagles Dare. I have two more to quilt for her and they will be displayed soon at either the International Quilt Study Center or the Bernina Store in Lincoln.
