Show Me Sewing

I finished quilting and binding these scrappy quilts for a future grandchild, including making a matching pillowcase for storage. There’s a toddler size for when the child is born, then a queen size for when they’re older. I quilted it with a variegated rainbow thread from So Fine with rhododendron Glide on the back using my Forever Filigree edge to edge as the quilting pattern.

Charity quilt for my guild and donated to Home Sweet Home. I Quilted it with the Paisley Loop edge to edge pattern by My Creative Stitches using Cool Gray Glide thread.

Charity quilt that has gone to Home Sweet Home from my quilt guild. One of the members made the top and I quilted it with a bird meander (the birds are pretty subtle silhouettes) in mocha Glide thread.

I quilted this quilt by Dorothy in military gold Glide/Glide 60 thread using my new Peeling Good E2E. I really love how she makes her back creatively with the scraps from the front.

I dubbed this Dorothy’s candy quilt. Using mocha Glide/Glide 60 thread, I tried out a new E2E design called Angelfish. I loaded the quilt sideways so the pattern would go up and down rather than sideways.

The second of three, this one by Megan. She wanted a quilting design that was a floral, but more abstract so as to not detract from the piecing. We went with Rebekah’s Rose from Urban Elementz. I quilted it in white Glide thread.

Three lovely ladies make a mystery quilt together each year at a local library. They are told how much fabric to bring and find out the pattern when they get there. This is the first one, by Melody, and will be a baby quilt for a recent addition to a family she would soon visit. She chose the quilting design “jagged little filler“ and I used Glide/Glide 60 Cool Gray 3 thread.

At my quilt guild each month, there is a block-of-the-month thing where a quilt block is chosen and all participants have a month to make as many of the blocks as they want to participate. One pays $1 per block, and your name goes in the pot for each entry. The prize is all the blocks. I’ve done it a few times, but often I’m busy enough that it doesn’t happen. Well, I was talking to the person who is in charge of it and she was kind-of bemoaning how so few people participate. I went home and made 3 blocks for the next month, only to find out closer to the date that I wouldn’t be able to attend.

A friend took my submissions to the meeting. I told her I didn’t really care about winning, in fact, I didn’t really want to win; too much on my plate at the time. That night she texted me to tell me I won. 10 blocks. I figured I should make 2 more to make the top, but then after laying things out, changed my mind and used one block in the center of the back as the center square of a larger block. The block name is Oh Susanna. The quilting design is Windy Wonderful Weather, quilted in Glide Cool Gray 3 thread. I’ll bring it to the guild meeting on Friday and donate it to charity.

Gorgeous quilt in yellow, gray and white made by Carrie. I quilted it with Cool Gray 3 Glide on the top and Sterling Glide 60 on the back using the E2E “Just Diamonds” from My Creative Stitches.

Back in October, I posted a picture of a tree skirt I quilted for Cathy. With the leftover fabric she made this quilt. I quilted it with a similar design that came with my iQ (intelliQuilter), only with larger ornaments. White Glide/Glide 60 thread.
