MoonDance

I found this fabric (MoonDance by Perry Wahe and Maywood Studio) and wasn't sure what I'd do with it, but I had to have it.

It sat in my "stash" until Jason came to town, saw it, and said he'd like a quilt made out of it. I'm not sure it is what he had in mind (lots of purple), but these two quilts will be heading his way this week. Both of them are quilt-as-you-go, but just different techniques. Two Monkey Boys helped me with the picture taking. MB1 is hidden behind the quilts, but MB2 just had to peek around. Love those boys! 

Laurel Burch Quilt, Almost Finished

I started this in October 2009 (after having the fabric a while and not knowing what I wanted to do with it.) I love Laurel Burch's fabrics! It just makes me feel uplifted when I see it. This is her Secret Jungle line with

lizards, snakes, and jungle animals. The top of the quilt is entirely Laurel Burch fabric, but I used a another line's zebra print for the back. It is so bright, I know, but I still love it. This quilt is MINE, ALL MINE!

I picked it up two days ago from Quilted works. They did the machine quilting with a black thread, which I was a little nervous about, but I loved how it turned out.

Now I just have to bind it and then I get to snuggle up with it (and maybe a Monkey Boy or three.)

The Brown Quilt, Part 2

I'm just a little bit of a procrastinator...like, two years worth. In December 2008 I posted pictures of this quilt just after it had been quilted. Today I finished binding it....on the sewing machine. It is a huge (king-sized) quilt and there was no way I could hand-sew the binding on...no way...even though I thought that's what I would do. I gave up, gave in, whatever, and machine bound it. I'm good with that.

Mary Englebret Quilt-Completed!

Finally! I've been working on this quilt FOREVER (or so it seems.) I tried to quilt it myself--hated it! I never liked one portion of it that didn't quite meet right, so I took all the self-quilting stitches out and picked out the part I never liked. After resewing it together so I liked it and felt satisfied with how it looked, I took it in to Quilted Works to be quilted. Loved the final product! It took me another month or so to add the binding and now it is done. Yay!

Then....I hung it on my new quilt rack and loved it even more.

Ron's Quilt

Ron had complained that he didn't have his very own quilt, so I used my Accu Quilt tumbler die cut to make this vintage-looking fabric quilt to give him as a Christmas present.

I really liked the football stitching on the quilt (thanks Quilted Works!) 

Joan's Quilt

Bruster insisted upon sitting on my lap while I sewed the binding on to this quilt I made as a Christmas present for my mother-in-law, Joan. The fabric is by Moda--Aster Manor--with brown minky fabric on the back.

I loved the quilting (done by Quilted Works)!

The Gift Exchange Quilt

I made this square quilt-as-you-go table-topper for an office party gift exchange.

The Ghastlie Quilt-Completed!

The stitching was perfect for this quilt and it is all bound and ready for Halloween. When I picked it up from Quilted Works, the ladies working there told me there were several women wanting to snatch it up, because the fabric wasn't available anymore. Too bad! It's mine and I'm going to enjoy how fun it was to make and display.

The back shows off all of the fabulous Ghastlies with an edge around it all.

The Front

I just totally love the Ghastlies!

 

And Now I Wait

I dropped my Ghastlie quilt off to be quilted. So Excited!

The Ghastlie Quilt

I've got the top and bottom done, now I just have to take it in to be quilted. I love the design of this fabric!
