Baby Quilts
In case you think I haven’t been quilting… I have, and I’d rather be quilting than working on posts!
Trudy’s sweet baby quilt. Her first quilt and you never would have guessed. She has piecing talent! Freehand quilted with white thread.
Here’s one I pieced and had fun playing with the quilting. This one was completed and gifted in July. DNA meets Dino’s in space. Freehand quilting with white thread.
Three beauties for Shirley
All freehand quilting. Light gray SoFine thread, bleached Hobbs 80/20

Red & White Part 2
Here’s more red & white quilts I quilted including my entries.
Sally Z’s beauty with hand applique. SoFine thread in a cream and Hobbs 80/20 batt. Outlined applique, feathers in the coral borders and leaves in the tan borders. Feather circle in the corner blocks.
This one is mine. Designed in EQ7. Some paper piecing. Freehand and ruler work for the quilting.
This one is also mine. I used the Ann Loveless technique to design and create this little quilt. I used white netting.

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.
Pretty Floral Quilt
Yes, I am quilting but not doing a great job of blog updating! Here’s one of Shirley’s I actually did a few weeks ago. SoFine thread in a plum color, the quilt is not as brown as the pictures look. Hobbs 80/20 batt. Still freehanding!
