Jane's Anchor

Jane had made this quilt pattern for herself, but her daughter liked it so much she had to make another.  It's 91 x 96

I quilted a pantograph called Ebb and Flow that looks like waves

The backing pulls together the colors from the front

Sharon's 3-yard quilt

This is called a 3-yard quilt because it uses 1 yard of 3 different fabrics.  It's 46 x 57.

I quilted a pantograph with leaves and flowers in pink thread, and it really complimented the fabric

The backing is the focal fabric used on the front:

Anne's fall panel

Anne likes to make art quilts - takes something very simple, and embellishes it to make it fabulous.  This one is a panel that she cut apart, sewed back together with a solid fabric between, then was super creative in adding embellishments.  It's 30 x 56.

I quilted a wiggly line in the red strips, an added some leaves in the larger areas:

More leaves in the green border:

and a swirl in the one strip of a green batik down the right side:

I quilted 3-4 lines in each of the letters:

and added bark to the tree trunk:

I added a leaf in one of the open areas:

and apples in the red fabric she put with the basket that she added:

I outline several leaves with a red/gold/green variegated thread:

She added toile to some of the leaves and pumpkins to make them sparkle

and give them texture:

She is so creative in the things she added:

birds

a scarecrow complete with fuzzy hair and at the hands

and a yellow leave that already had veins in it

The pumpkin fabric had some glitter on it, so I used gold metallic thread to accent some of the pumpkins

The backing is a solid green with a strip of the glitter fabric through it.  You can see a lot of the quilting that I did on the back since it's a solid.

EMBROIDERY BY KATHY

This is the 4th embroidery quilt I've done for Kathy - all baby quilt.  This one is 50 x 60 and is all different animals.  I don't have a picture of the full quilt.

I quilted straight lines around each design:

I repeated the straight lines in the blue sashings:

Next was a green border where I quilted loops:

Then a pink border with e's and l's:

The  outer yellow border has a simple meander:

The backing is the same print as the yellow border, but a different colorway:
