Heather's Quilts

Happy Friday quilters! I hope you're all having a good week. The cold snap last week with 15 degrees overnight has been followed by lovely 80 degree afternoons here in Texas.

This week's quilts all came in from Heather a while back. This one arrived basted and partially quoted. The backing had folds in it and some stains, but I really liked the top, so I ended up picking the quilting & starting over with a new back.

This one was a top and a little bit smaller. About 50 in square. I quilted it up with a simple stipple.

This has some very cool fabrics and will make a great kid quilt.

Next was a simple top with patriotic colors, good for a man. We always need more masculine quilts. 

 Doris did the quilting on this one. Thank you ladies!

Here's a snuggly Fudge to round off your week.

Beth, Holly, Linda

Happy Friday, quilters! Sorry I missed last week, I took a trip to Santa Fe. I've got some great quilts to show you this week. This first one is a pattern called "Squared Up" by Cotton and Joy in Northcott Stonehenge fabrics. Beth made the top and Linda quilted it.

It's a lovely simple pattern, but so striking!

Next another top by by Beth, in much more her usual color scheme. This one's smaller so I quilted it on my midarm. 

Next, Holly made two tops in the GE Quilts "Stella" pattern with beautiful batik fabrics.

I did the quilting on these with a simple stipple.

I don't know what happened with this quilt. The camera just didn't like it. I took photos 3 separate times and they all came out the same 

The colors are a lovely bright blue and turquoise with bright white, same as the pink/coral one.

Thanks, ladies!

Small Quilts

Happy Friday, quilters! This week I've got some small quilts to show. We don't give out many of these, but they will either be wheelchair lap quilts or used for our small number of NICU babies. Kathy S made this top and I quilted it.

These next two kiddy quilts came from Mina.

Mina has been such a huge supporter over the years. This quilt with the little strawberries is just too cute.

This yellow and purple quilt was actually already basted. I'm afraid I lost track of where it came from, so if you recognize it please speak up.

This little quilt has a beautiful applique panel in the center. It's just lovely and would make a great wall hanging.

Unfortunately I have once again lost track of where it came from. I believe the central panel was by itself and I sent it to Louise and she put the borders on. 

Thank you everyone!

Finished Quilts

  

Happy Friday, Quilters! This week I've got some finished quilts to show. These arrived all ready for a label and gifting.

This medium sized applique quilt came from Ann. It has a hanging sleeve in case the recipient chooses to use it that way.

Our hospitals continue to tell me how much our quilts are appreciated by their patients and families.

I don't care for applique, so this is really impressive to me. She did a beautiful job quilting, too.

This bright quilt is team Karen. Top by Karen N, quilted by Karen M. Hopefully it will find it's way too someone with a personality to match the energetic fabrics.

I took this photo to show off the cool quilting. Thank you Karen's!

   

Lastly, Verena sent in this nice scrappy 25-patch. Thank you, ladies! Hope everyone is doing well and keeping warm. I think Texas is almost done with winter.

Linda's Quilts

Happy Friday, quilters! It's still cold here so fortunately I have plenty of warm quilts.  All of these came finished from volunteer long-arm quilter Linda. 

First up are these colorwash pinwheels. Such an interesting choice to use a bold print for the background instead of a neutral! It would never occur to me to do that, but it works great. 

Next up, a scrappy weave quilt in one of my favorite color combos: blue and white. 

Don't be surprised if you see this in a block drive soon, it's a very simple but effective design. 

And lastly, this controlled-scrappy quilt with the crazy-quilt blocks in the border. 

I really like how the pinwheels are just sprinkled in. Thank you, Linda! You're the best!

Brrrr!

   

Happy Friday, quilters! I hope you're all staying warm! We've been having a cold snap here in Texas. The kitties and I are taking advantage of heating pads and electric blankets to stay cozy.  

The two quilts in today's post were tops sent in by Donna. Volunteer Pam did the quilting on this large Scrappy Trips quilt with vintage fabrics.

This smaller top of Donna's I quilted on my machine. I like the winter-y fabrics and it will make a good wheelchair lap quilt. 

Thanks to Donna and Pam! Don't miss out on the CiL block drive going on now, links below.

Ginny & Linda

Happy Friday, quilters! I hope you are warm and your New Year is off to a good start.  

These quilts were all tops made and sent in by Ginny and quilted by Linda, starting with this patriotic/military quilt. Linda quilted it with stars and it has the perfect backing and binding. Patriotic quilts are always some of our most appreciated.

Next up a pretty pinwheel quilt. Looks like a jelly roll pattern, lovely batik fabrics. I really like how she used the corner trimmings to make the HSTs in the corners.

Linda did some loopy feathers to complement the fabrics and design.

I had the perfect batiks donated a while back to make the backing and binding from.

This pattern is called 'Heart Rhythms' I believe. I love the color palette in the fabrics. 

And Linda chose the perfect feathery spiral to quilt it. Thank you, ladies!
