...Red Fish, Blue Fish

finished Dr. Suess quilt! It measures approximately 50in x 50in and I quilted it all over with orange thread.

The recipient loves it and I'm also pretty pleased!

one fish two fish....

Dr. Suess commissioned quilt in progress! A friend from work requested this quilt for a friend of hers...we're mid-move around these parts, so much of my fabric is packed up - thankfully i had the sense of mind to leave some out!

I also have a few finishes that were completed and sent up north to a family friend who owns a non-profit facility for people with mental and physical disabilities and provides them with housing, community and skill training - a wonderful organization and I'm proud that a few of my quilts are hanging on some of the walls!

Animal Tumbler Quilt!
Quilted following the tumbler lines
using castle peeps, urban circus &
a few others

my image quality here is pretty poor...once we move i will have ample amount of outdoor space to take gorgeous pictures - so be prepared for some awesome backdrops & better lighting!

i did a simple nine-patch pattern with a few larger blocks thrown in. the color is actually purple - not brown! I used some fabric from my stash that have an unknown origin and some joel dewberry (love!).

must get back to work to finish the Dr. Suess quilt today!

recently...

baby quilt made and sent to Pennsylvania!
large tumbler blocks and Laurie Wisburn's Urban Circus fabric (and a few extras) made for a great combination.

Made for my cousin who is a Junior at Liberty University as a thank you for designing my wedding album -
thanks again!!!

I'll leave you with my very favorite picture taken recently. <3
Happy Fall & Happy Quilting!

happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July! This long weekend has provided me an opportunity to do a bit of quilting - definitely nice to catch up!

I made this wall hanging a few weeks ago for my aunt:

I then worked up a quilt using Denyse Schmidt's new fabric line. I put the squares on point - I think this will be perfect for a picnic quilt! just have to quilt & bind it...

My aunt then wanted a table runner to match the wall hanging - I was happy to make one:

I'm making a few others for her like this too - I'll post when I'm finished!

Hope you all have a happy fourth of july!

recent baby quilt...

Another cousin is having a baby and we had her baby shower this past weekend - sadly I didn't take too many pictures to share, but I made her a few bibs (same style as the previous ones I've made) a few receiving blankets, a cute zigzag pillow, and the below quilt!

The quilt is made with Heather Ross' line of Far Far Away II. Due to the fact that it's linen, it's a bit thicker than usual weight quilting fabric, but it quilts nicely just the same. I love how it turned out and I think she did too!

Also, as an update, the looped quilt was completed and given to my aunt...unfortunately I didn't take a picture of it finished b/c I literally stitched the last of the binding onto the quilt when we were pulling into the driveway of my mother's house on the day of the above shower. sooo, no finished picture (unless I can convince her to take one and send it to me!).

I have a few more things in the works, and a few other finished projects and I'll be posting soon.

Have a great weekend!
