Hockey Between Friends

This is another quilt pieced by Sue Kurth during our Thursday night PROJECT night.  It is the "Between Friends" pattern from the Happy Hour quilt book.  She selected Hockey fabric for the main focus of this quilt, which was made for her Grandson.  She selected a grey flannel fabric for the back-- soft, cozy, and warm, just what Grandma loves!

 

I chose an overall "Bubble" or "Circle within a Circle" mixed in with random Star Shapes for the quilting pattern.  Again, since the fabric is so very busy, this quilt pattern will work beautifully. 

Here is a photo of the back, because you can see the pattern so much better.

 

 

 Not only do we quilt on Thursday PROJECT nights, but we occasionally celebrate birthdays.  Here we are celebrating Sue's Birthday.  Happy Birthday Sue (April 27th)!

This one is for the Grandson!

Joanie Hogan has been very busy!  Here she is with another quilt, this one for her Grandson.  It is a twin size quilt using a 4-patch block intermingled with large blocks.  It is bordered in green, and has a large block in each corner.

 

 

She decided she would like to use a crisscross pattern through each of the 4-patch blocks and a meandering pattern in each of the large blocks

 

For the green border, we used leafs and loops

I think it turned out great, and I am sure her grandson will keep warm for a very long time!

Crisscross Applesauce

 

This quilt was completed by Joanie Hogan for her Granddaughter.  She used bright, cheerful colors in a very fun pattern.  She also added 2 borders around the quilt.

 

 

 I decided to do a 3 petal flower in one border and a simple small loop pattern in the other border.  It complements the cheerful pattern in the fabrics.

 

 

 Overall on the inside, I used the "Bubble" or "Circle within Circle" pattern, which also complemented the fabric designs.

Between Friends by Andrea Strub

This quilt was made by my daughter, Andrea.  It's a quick pattern, very quick and easy to assemble.  I decided to do a "Circle within a Circle" or "Bubble" pattern for this quilt because it is very busy with different fabrics.

 

A close up to share with Andrea while the quilt is on the Long Arm Machine, notice the fabric choice for the back....polka dot....  another reason for the "Bubble" pattern selection.

 

Quilt all loaded just waiting to be finished!

We had fun assembling this one, and I am sure it will be Between Friends!

Here is a quilt made during our Thursday night "PROJECT" night.  This quilt was made by Sue Kurth for her daughter/granddaughter.  We helped with the design, a 9 patch with pink flannel sashing.  I'm really liking how it all came together.  Great Job Sue!

 

     

 

It was loaded on the Long Arm for quilting.  

 

I decided to use a large meandering pattern since it was so busy with 9 patches and many different fabrics.

  I also decided to use variegated pink thread.  

Cheryl Havlik brought A SPECIAL WALL HANGING SHE MADE OUT OF TIES! This was made for her husband Rich, and brought to us for Quilt Services.  She did a fantastic job, and what a special GIFT!

 

 

 Here is a photo before quilting.

She decided she would like to have relatively small scale meandering using a dark green thread.

 



QUILTING DONE!

I have not seen the binding on this quilt, perhaps she will share, but I've heard she used the pointed tips from the ties!

 





 

Two Skateboard Quilts - One Customer!

We have been very busy at the end of 2012 and beginning in 2013 with a couple skateboard quilts.  These quilts were made by a customer for her grandsons, each has a different theme.  She is one of my favorite customers!  Everything is always trimmed so nicely, and measured precisely, which I appreciate tremendously!  A great customer to have!

 

Each skateboard was outlined with the wheels having tread marks.  Close meandering was done around each skateboard.

For the Badger Themed quilt, I used a piano border around the entire quilt.

and for the other quilt, I used a circle within a circle pattern to compliment the circle pattern on the border.
