Diane's Tops


Happy Friday, quilters! I've got three quilts to show this week that were all tops made by Diane.


These first two were quilted by Linda on her long arm. I thought the panto on this first one matched the fabrics in the top particularly well. 


This is a really cool pattern. I didn't take a closer look while I had it in my hands, but I suspect it's assembled on point. 


Next up, batik butterflies! I love their little appliqued antennas.


And lastly, this applique wreath sampler.  I really like how the maroon/green fabrics get darker toward the intersections of the blocks.


This quilt went to a patient I'm particularly fond of. She's a life long crocheter. They were very touched by the gift.


I did the quilting on this one with just an all over stipple.

Fudge cornered an unfortunate lizard on the porch the other day. It escaped but left it's tail behind, which he enjoyed for a few minutes.

Friday Finishes


Happy Friday, quilters! Got some good quilts to show you this week. This beauty is a top made by Christine and quilted by Linda.


The pattern is "String Theory" by Sharon Tucker of Grass Roots Quilt Studio. Christine found the perfect backing and binding to send with it.


This next top also came from Christine and was sent out to Sundance Quilting to be finished. 


Sundance did this pretty feathered Baptist fan design that really lets this scrap quilt shine.


Next up, two quilts that were quilted by my old circle-mate from do. Good Stitches, Jenny!


This bright quilt was actually made by my old Good Stitches circle. Lots of fun fabrics and great colors.


And lastly, a top sent on by Pam C. and quilted by Jenny on her long arm. This is a nice large quilt and I love the soft, sweet colors.

Thank you, ladies, for all your help! 


The weather has turned wonderfully cool here and the kitties and I are enjoying our porch. I hope Fall is coming where you are, too!

Priscilla's Cozy Quilts


Happy Friday, Quilters! I have some tops to show this week from Priscilla, one of CiL's most prolific donors. This first one was quilted by me with a stipple. 


This first one came out a little washed out in the photos, but I love the homespun fabrics and the cute panels. It's a great color scheme, too.


Next up, this more modern looking top from Priscilla was quilted by Meloney on her long arm.


Thank you, ladies! This one is a BIG quilt.



And lastly a couple more I did the quilting on. I have been working recently to get some of the smaller tops done (Under 60" in at least one dimension.)


This one has scrappy spools of thread and one pretty, fancy lady.


And a jelly roll quilt. Again, the colors are a bit washed out but I really like them. The browns with blue and red are very complimentary. 


All of these quilts have already been taken up to the hospital to be passed out. Thank you so much!
