Red & White Excitement Part 1
Over the last few months, I have been privileged to quilt several red & white quilts for quilters entering their quilts in the Big Red Quilters Guild Red & White Challenge. The big reveal and contest winners were announced last night so now I can post pictures of the quilts that I quilted. Three of these quilts took ribbons! How exciting is that?
Sally L’s beautiful pinwheel quilt won in the large traditional category. I freehand quilted with some ruler work, Hobbs 80/20 bleached batting, Superior SoFine thread in white.



Linda C’s petite and lovely pineapple won in the small traditional category. This one was double batted, Hobbs 80/20 unbleached with Hobbs wool on top. Superior SoFine in white and red. Freehand and ruler work.

Barb S’s stunning hand applique leaves took people’s choice. Hobbs 80/20 bleached and Superior SoFine in white and red. Freehand quilted. This quilt’s colors are so vibrant it is difficult to see the quilting in pictures!

Okay, enough for one day. I have a few more red-whites to share soon.
Beautiful Scrappy Throw
Shirley’s beautiful quilt was so fun to quilt. Superior SoFine in the center area, a shade of green in the outer border. Hobbs 80/20 unbleached batt.
