Bloggers Quilt Festival, quilt 2

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to Bloggers Quilt Festival!

This is my second entry. You can see the first one here.

This is a 32"x32" wall hanging I made for my Dh for Christmas.

I got some inspiration from Canyon Ridge Creations, then got out my paper and pencil and came up with an expanded design.

I had a lot of fun doing some straight line quilting.

And some fmqing.

I pieced it and quilted it on my vintage Singer 201. I love my Singer!

You can read more about this quilt here.

This is entered in the small quilts catagory.

Thanks again Amy for hosting the Festival!

Bloggers Quilt Festival

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to Bloggers Quilt Festival!

Thank you Amy, for having this festival every year. I really enjoy looking at the quilts. And it's fun to enter one too.

This year I am entering my son's quilt. Jed is 19, and he was way overdue for a large quilt, to fit his 6'3" frame!

 I thought these geometric fabrics would fit him perfectly.

 Added in some solids....

And this cool ombre grey, looks just like moonlight shining down on some RR tracks.

My son is a train lover, his quilt is called Train Stop.

This is my first big quilt that I've fmqed. I have a vintage Singer 201, which I love. I do my piecing and quilting on it. I learned a lot quilting this quilt. I need a lot more practice, but I love fmqing :)

Here's a close up shot from the back.

I did a lot of straight line quilting on it also, with a walking foot.

It's 84x84, so a large quilt. The solids are Kona solids. The backing is by V&CO's Simply Color line.

You can read more about this quilt here.

Its' entered in the large quilts catagory.

Thank you all for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed Train Stop. Don't forget to look at all the other quilts in the Festival.

See my second entry here.

Have a great day!

Hello Folks,

It's time again for the Blogger Quilt Festival, put on by Amy every year. There are always awesome prizes and gorgeous eye candy to look at. Voting has started, so go over and pick your favorites.

I'm entering my Lone star that I made for our Paint Chip Challenge over on the Q&N. This challenge required us to make a project using one to three of the colors on a paint chip card. My colors are the beige/taupe ones.

I did some straight line quilting in the star.

And I did free motion roses in the background.

 

It's 42" square.

 I quilted it on my Singer 201 vintage sewing machine. I am brand new to FMQing, and pretty new to quilting altogether on a home machine. I was a hand quilter for many years. So this is a fun, new challenge for me and I am really loving it.

Thanks Amy!

Bloggers quilt festival, take 2

Good morning ya'all!

Amy has said we can enter two quilts into the festival, woohoo~ So I thought I'd throw in my scrappy boxes.

 It's been a few years since I've made this, but I love it and have used it as Isaiah's quilt- in- the- bed all Winter. It's the perfect size for a bitty baby.

I had a bunch of 1" in width bits of scraps that I didn't want to part with. So came up with this scrappy design.

I started with this..

Made in a rainbow of colors....

And then CUT on both diagonals!!

Made a middle...

And put it all together.

 

 Here's the back...

Name: scrappy boxes
Size: 45" square
Designed, pieced and quilted by me!

More about it here.

Thanks for stopping by! Here's a link to my first entry, if you haven't seen it already.
