Judy's Purple Whirlpool Quilt

Judy has constructed this king size quilt for her daughter and son-in-law. The fabrics are superb and the design is very interesting! She has done a wonderful job on the masterpiece!
It's a combination of a snails trail and a log cabin block of sorts.


Blueberry thread was used on the quilt.

The piano key borders.

More inner borders.

The quilting pattern was called Berry Vine Park.

The corner sections.



The scrumptious flannel backing that is to die for, I'm not kidding!

Monkey Quilts for the Twins!


If you are the proud grandmother of twins, you are destined to make monkey quilts for them, or rather YOU SHOULD make monkey quilts if you have twin grandchildren! They are the cutest and so soft and flannel can't be beat, you know! Doreen has made several quilts for her  Canadian grandsons, Henry and Nathaniel, and they will love these two! This one is for Nathaniel.


Blue Jay thread was used.

Whimsical Hearts was the quilting pattern used on both of the quilts.

This one is for Henry.

Henry's has the bananas with the red background and Nathaniel has the bananas with the white background.


I believe they will stay with grandma so there are special quilts when the boys come to visit.


Monkeys everywhere!




The backing fabric on both of the quilts.

We call them Educational Quilts! LOL!

My husband found these quilt panels so I quilted them. Now we probably won't get lost!

I put the quilting pattern Ride Into the Sunset #7 on this one.


Covered wagons, cowboy boots, all things western.

I used Sunlight thread on this one.





 
Hot Air Balloon quilting pattern, what better way to see the world??

Blue Heaven thread on this one.


Of course I did notice the date on this panel was 1998, so the map may not be entirely accurate! But then again, we will just skip those countries that keep changing their names or borders! Ha!

Backing of the quilts.

Linda's Mystery Quilt


Linda retired! And her co-workers gave her a gift certificate to a quilt shop for her retirement! And she bought the fabric and made this beautiful Mystery Quilt! Now, I would call that a GREAT Retirement gift! 

The quilting pattern is called Pearl Flower Vine.

Camel thread was used.





The wonderful quilt backing!
