30's prints


I'm very happy with how this quilt turned out. 
The 30's prints were a lot of fun to look at while I quilted. The quilting designs suit the pattern nicely and the cross hatching in the appliqué border is very traditional.

Beyond the Colour Purple

This stunning quilt is an embroidered quilt called Beyond the Colour Purple.
I quilted Free motion Victorian Feathers around the embroidery.
I also used cable and rope designs in the borders.

Elaine's quilt

This quilt has been a while in the finishing; I took it off the frame to finish some other quilts and then procrastinated about getting it finished. 
The belongs to a friend of mine and she designs quilt patterns, so please leave a comment if you are interested in the pattern.

Appliquéd Flowers

This beautifully appliquéd quilt was a pleasure to quilt.
It is finished with a scalloped edge (which was trimmed after quilting).
I did curved cross hatching and curly cue feathers to add to the appliqué design.

Dancers - Victorian Feathers

The dancer figures in this wall hanging are from a pattern by Carol Bryer Fallert.

I learned to do these Victorian Feathers in a class this summer with Karen McTavish.
I loved how it turned out.
This wall hanging is for one of my daughters.
