Doodles!!

I loaded a large piece of muslin and just had some fun doodling and practicing some different shapes and motifs.  I love to just not have any pressure and do what I want to, whatever comes to my brain.  Loved how it turned out.  Used wool on top of 70/30 blend batting, and then silver, gold, and green metallic thread.

Laura's Teal and Purple Batik

Laura had a beautiful teal and purple batik king-size quilt that she wanted some custom quilting done on and I had a blast quilting it.  There were three different borders, each got their own motif.  Then I focused on the white background areas with pebbles and a flower motif between blocks.  I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

Quilts of Valor - #18

This Quilts of Valor got an all over swirl chain design with some "bear claw" filler.  Love this design!  And it's super easy and quick.

Minion Quilt Mini Swap!

I finally got around to uploading some pictures of a mini quilt that I recently made for an instagram mini swap, theme was MINIONS!!  How fun.  I made up this pattern as I went, mainly just tracing shapes that I found around my house, like plates or whatever.  It's all applique and then quilted with some swirls in the background.  The one minion ended up a little wrinkly, but it's ok.  I love how it turned out, and so did my partner!
