Light & refreshing



What a light and refreshing quilt this was to do!  I quilted swirly clouds onto it with an aqua thread (Superior, So Fine #470, Venice).  I noticed lots of circles, curves and swirls in the fabric prints so I played off of that to help add movement and soften the linear lines of the jelly roll strips. This is a gift for my client's daughter.  I hope she loves it!

Summer Fun!

Just when I thought I couldn't have any more fun than quilting out pink cupcakes, I get this popsicle quilt!  It was the perfect opportunity to try out a new thread that's the color of summer sunshine.  I used Glide thread in a nice shimmery Marigold.  How fun are these beach balls, sunglasses and flip flops in the pattern?  Summer fun for sure!

Cupcakes Galore!

This was such a "sweet" little quilt to do with all of the pink fabrics and the chocolates and purses.  The minute I saw this Crayola Challenge quilt I knew that I had to do the pink cupcake quilting.  I used a Superior So Fine thread that matched the Crayola color my client used.  So fun!

Ugly Fabric Challenge

This funny little quilt is an "Ugly Fabric" round robin that was done at one of my guillds.  I can't believe I actually had a variegated thread that matched the colors!  I love the quilting pattern combined with the thread.  It turned out to be a cheery little quilt!
