This quilt was pieced by Marinda Stopforth.  It only has two blocks, set on point, it makes a stunning design.  She used batiks.  I love the blue batik background.  I never would have chosen that and it is perfect.  I quilted an allover feather-like pattern in the center and a fern-leaf on the borders.

Work Work Work

I’m trying to keep on schedule!  This is my busy time of year.  Everyone has quilts that they would like quilted so they can be given as Christmas gifts.  Or they would like to display them or use them for Christmas.

A stack of batting cut for the awaiting quilts…

Messy work table!

I did make myself this nifty little work apron at the guild sew-in last Saturday.  It has four pockets, so I keep my pen, glasses, small rulers on me instead of looking for them constantly! 

Back to work now!

Here are a couple quilts from the Heritage Quilter’s Guild, taken earlier this year.  My camera was on the fritz.  Wish I could have taken more photos.  I love the Hexagon!

Log Cabin Quilt

This is a wonderful memory quilt, pieced by Joan Dolinar.  It has log cabin blocks, set in a traditional barn raising style.  The pictures are of her daughter, from her wedding, to her family.

 I did a free-hand feather in the "light" side of the log cabin block and SID in the dark.  I used Wool batting, which makes it a bit loftier and the pictures stand out as well as the log piecing.

 On the table...

 This is the border. 

 I put a frame around each photo, then SID around each photo.

 Borders, view from the back.

 One more log cabin block.

Underground Railroad Sampler

This is an underground railroad sampler quilt, pieced by Linda Clements, done in civil war reproduction fabrics.  It looks fabulous!

 

I enjoyed quilting this.  Here are a couple close-up shots of the individual blocks...
