Sewvivor - Lauries Entry

This quilt has been on our blog before, you can read all about it here. It is one of my most favorite quilts because of its different patterns within the quilt and it bright cheery colors. It was sew fun to make.  I am posting this quilt again because I am entering it in the first round of the Sewvivor Quilt Contest which entries close tomorrow.  You can read about the contest and see all different entries at Family Ever After. 

Custom Machine Quilting

Isn't this quilt AMAZING?! Mary pieced it all, perfectly I might add, and sent it to us to be machine quilted. Of course we were thrilled and scared to death to work on something so beautiful. It must have taken her hours and hours to get all this perfect piecing completed and we wanted to showcase it in just the right way. 

It turned out beautiful! You can see some of the detail in this block below. I'm sad that I don't have more pictures to show of this quilt. I took a whole bunch before I sent it back to her, but somehow I can't find them on my computer or my camera. Luckily, Mary was nice enough to take some pictures and send them to me.   

She sent some pictures to show me a new technique she did on the binding. I think it's great! It appears to have piping in it. 

Thanks for letting me quilt this for you Mary!

Baby Airplane

What is it about baby boys and airplanes? They just seem to go together. I recently finished quilting this cute baby quilt for Britney and her (soon to be born) baby boy. I think it turned out so cute!

  I am loving the clouds. And I love how she decided to add his initial into the plane, so cute and a great personal touch for this sweet new bundle of joy!

 I'm sure she can't wait to snuggle him in this quilt that she made just for him!

Quilt Story

Scotties

Here is my latest finished project. This is an awesome pattern by Deborah Borsos & Leslee Price titled Memory Lane.  It is a row-by-row quilt made with Aunt Gracie's fabrics and includes embroidery, yo-yo-s, and 108 buttons. This was a project chosen for a year long quilt club that I belong to. Even though it was supposed to be done in that year, it took me almost a year and a half (I'm a little slow, haha). Since I love quilt clubs so much, I actually belong to several! It's my social outlet, who doesn't love spending time with other quilters? 

Although I don't have dogs, I love my Scotties! These cute little dogs are hand embroidered. The pattern called for the Scotties to be fabric appliqued, but I chose to incorporate my love for embroidery. Each dog has it's own collar tied with a colored bow.

This is my first attempt at yo-yo's. I thought it would be a lot harder than it was. Good thing it wasn't too hard, I had to make a total of 34 of them. I think they look so cute. I love the 3D effect it gives the quilt! I think I found a new favorite look. 

The quilt group chose to add a picot border to give the quilt a little more color and add some additional appeal. Here is where those 108 buttons come in! I was anxious to finish the project and 108 buttons got just a little time consuming and boring. ;)

 I think this quilt is so pretty. It will definitely be added to "my favorites"!
