Gail's Sunflower Quilt

This is Gail's Sunflower Quilt - just off the longarm.

 The sunflower created in the large blocks.





Center block - I outlined the flowers with metallic thread, outlined some of the leaves in green.
 Corner block I outlined the flower petals in gold metallic.
Another corner block - I outlined these petals with bronze metallic.
Center of inner border - I quilted a sunflower with pebbling in the center with leaves going out to the corner blocks.

Dresden Plate

This is June's completed Dresden Plate quilt






 This is one of the 30 blocks - each of the blocks took an hour to quilt

 And a little closer picture of the detail of the block
This is a picture of the sashing intersection

This was a fun quilt to quilt.  I love the orange peel look of the quilting on the plates and the "leafy feathers" in the sashing was fun to do.  I did alternate the direction of the feathers so the quilt looks the same no matter which direction it is on the bed.  The feathers look like they go around the blocks....love how it turned out!  June is very happy with it too!!

CONGRATS EWU!!!

The Eastern Washington Eagles pulled off a stunning victory over Delaware to attain their first National Championship ever!!!  In no small part, this victory is due to their trainers' dedication...especially my DSD Carla!  Payoff for all those long days, evenings and weekends tending to those players owies!!!  We are so proud of her and really enjoyed seeing her on national TV!

Wedding quilt

I made this quilt for my friend Lindsay (she also cuts my hair!) as a wedding gift.  OK, her wedding was this past summer but life got in the way!  It was a fun mixture to quilt, using rulers, feathers and ribbon swirls with some stippling thrown in.
