Opps

How has it been two weeks since I last blogged? Can I blame it on the gorgeous early summer that arrived when I stopped blogging? 

Last time I blogged, I was talking about a beautiful custom quilt I was getting ready to quilt. This was going to be the first time using the Circle Lord templates so I wanted to get some practice in.

So much easier to use than it looks.

And check out these feathered wreaths.

And now Marianne's quilt. When I saw Marianne's quilt, I asked her if I could custom her quilt as a practice piece. I was thrilled when she said yes.

I put the feathered wreaths in the white.

A freehand feather in the green chains.

And a feather border in the border.

The feather blended a little too well lol.

This was such a fun quilt to do and a big thank you to Marianne for letting me play with her quilt.

More Finishes

I've had a difficult week workwise. Had an issue with my machine on Monday. I changed bobbins, needles, rethreaded and still it was acting up. Dave and I ended up having to adjust my needle bar and re-time it that evening and Tuesday morning I was back up and running. 

Good thing too since I had this quilt of Jilly's half quilted lol.

Such a pretty quilt. I quilted it with Cycles.

And just in case you thought I didn't do pantos anymore, I quilted this lovely quilt for Joyce

quilted with Mimosa

Such lovely fabrics!

Now I have another custom quilt to fill my time. Will have to post some pictures on my progress.

Florals

I finished the second of Linda's floral wall hangings. I really like how this one turned out.

I used Glide thread this time and like how the thread is so much more prominent than with the SoFine I used on the other quilt.

Now I'm going to finish off a very old wall hanging of my own.

I'm using my sewing machine to quilt this one and having a ball doing so.

Have a great weekend.

Customed

Linda brought in these two quilts and asked for some thread play on the quilts. With them being so small, I knew I would have fun with these.

The threads blend so well with the fabrics that it's hard to see all the quilting so here is a picture of the back.

All that quilting and it's hardly noticeable on the front.

Now  to get the second one finished.

Quilting, quilting and quilting

Here's a few more recent customer finishes.

This gorgeous Civil War quilt by Faye.

 

I love the center of the quilt, a beautiful star block.

And my favorite block,

This lovely quilt by Alice

Both quilts were quilting using my Circle Lord water boards.

I quilted a beautiful quilt for Lily a few years ago. Lily made another one for her mother.

I love the watercolour effect of the middle.

No custom on this one, Lily chose the panto Jasmine Leaves.

We have family from out of town arriving tonight; it just be a fun weekend. Hope you enjoy yours!

Presents

Last year for Rhonda's birthday, her husband made her a quilt ladder. I hinted and hinted than just came out and asked for one of my own lol.

Now I think I need another one.

Cycles

I have posted a few times about my new Circle Lord boards. This new board is in the oh so popular figure 8; Circle Lord is calling their boards Cycles.

The latest quilt I have put Cycles on is this beautiful flannel quilt by Joyce.

The quilt is for Joyce's daughter; she wanted a modern quilting pattern on it.

I love how it looks on the backing.

I also used Cycles on two Wee Care quilts I made for our day guild.

A cute boy quilt.

And a super cute girl one.

I just love how the pattern works with the quilts.

And how cute is this backing fabric?
