Civil War Fabrics

Have a huge stash of Civil War fabrics and can't decide what to do with them?  Here is one idea!


This is a lovely table cloth quilt.

HST

In every color of the rainbow.  While I was quilting this sweet little HST quilt my grand daughter learned her colors!  Sometimes the simplest quilt patterns are the hardest to find a quilting design for.  When I put it on my frame it just sort of came together.

Modern Alphabet

This was so much fun to quilt.  Straight lines make the letters stand out among a background of bubbles.

Stars in the Garden

Start in the Garden was appliqued by Joanne.  This quilt is really beautiful. I enhanced it by quilting background fill so that the applique could just pop out and take center stage.

I spent a lot of time on this King Sized quilt and it was well worth the effort.  It turned out beautiful.  Next up....an extra special applique quilt.

This was Cathy's very first quilt!  She got it very flat and square.

The Simple Life

After a long holiday I'm finally back at it again.  Santa brought me a new frame for my Long Arm.  I must have been a good girl......

I quilted this quilt called "The Simple Life" for Doris.  It is so cute!

30's Baby Quilt

Another 30's Quilt from Joanne!  She makes the most adorable quilts.



Monday, September 10, 2012

Joanne rescued these antique quilt blocks that were left unfinished by someone years ago. The fabrics are 30's and the blocks all hand pieced. She let me quilt it however I wanted so I chose large daiseys to match the happy fabrics. I have to wonder if the person who started the quilt would approve of how I finished it.

Scottie Dogs

My hubby came up with the idea to quilt the Nine Patch blocks using the hearts and doggie bones crossed like an X to resemble a TicTacToe board. He's kind of handy to have around.




This was such a fun little quilt to do.  Enjoyed every minute.

Brandy's Carpenter's Star




I quilted this Carpenter's Star Wall hanging for Brandy.  I quilted a curved crosshatching in a circle around the center.  Love the effect that gives the quilt.

"Pavers"  pieced by Doris Sanders.  I just wanted to add some texture to this simple modern quilt.  I just love how it turned out.

Doris's Glacier Star






My husband's cousin Doris pieced this beautiful Glacier Star and sent it to me for quilting.   Judy Neimeyer quilts are so beautiful and complex in their design.  It was a pleasure to quilt.

Delilah's Churn Dash


I just love the simplicity of this quilt.  The small blocks in between the Churn Dash blocks reminded me of a flower center so I put a feathered flower there.  I used crosshatch and stripes to represent the fabrics used in this sweet quilt.

Antique Butterflies






My customer Layla found these sweet butterfly blocks on Ebay and finished them with a simple 4 patch and a very pretty border.  I took advantage of the empty space in the 4 patch blocks to add some details.
