Salad Bar Quilt

Easy quilt top to make. Now I have to come up with a quilting pattern to showcase my quilting. This will be a gift.

1978 quilt blocks

I was asked to make a baby quilt using some blocks that were made in 1978. I was also given the green fabric and the yellow fabric with the strawberries. I took 5 of the blocks and made 4 additional blocks. Believe it or not, I had a red fabric in my stash that looks like it belongs in the same time period. Pretty wild!



WWII airplanes quilt designs

I drew and then quilted these WWII airplanes on a quilt last week. The pictures are of the back of the quilt. Looks pretty good...

Fabricating Faces Class

I took a class at QSC (Quilter's of SC) this past weekend that was wonderful!. Marilyn Wall taught us how to take a photo and make it into a work of art using just 4 fabrics. No painting, just fabric. My daughter took a great photo of Isaac, my grandson, and I was able to make this from the photo in about 9 hrs. The lightest fabric is a little too light, but the teacher said it was the best ear she'd every seen!

Ribbons

This month I've added 5 more blue ribbons to my bulletin board.
One was for my Earlene Fowler duffle bag and tote at the Nimble Thimbles Quilt Show in Fountain Inn. I also got four at the SC State Fair for the FPQG Show quilt, a new sailboat quilt, Black and White Lime Squeeze, and a blue leaf purse.
I've filled one bulletin board and have a second one that I need to spray paint black before I put it up in my quilting studio.

ABM Innova Longarm

My dear husband came into my sewing room and told me to smile. The room looks like a mess and that's why no one but family is allowed in my sewing room. Here I'm quilting a Christmas quilt with my wonderful ABM Innova Longarm Machine with AutoPilot. I continue to work on creating new designs for my customers quilts. This week I quilted coffee cups with steam and music.

Fabric Painting

Yesterday I stretched outside of my normal quilting box and took a class on wholecloth quilt painting from Susan Brubaker Knapp. We had 3 photos of hers to chose from. I painted this 8x10 in class. I still have some shading to do on the red leaf and then I'll quilt it. Looks pretty good to me so far (for someone who doesn't paint!)
