2 finishes

These have both been done for a while so last night, when I should have been making dinner, I dragged them outside for a little photo shoot fun.



Up first is the diamond pinwheel quilt, pattern by that girl that quilt.  The pattern should be available soon.  I'll email Jennifer and find out when.  I quilted this using Angela Walters' hooked feather design from her book and it was love!





Next is my Swoon.  Started back in October and finally done.  Good grief!  I don't normally quilt using pantographs (a paper pattern that you trace using the laser pointer on your longarm) but they're fun to do ever so often and I was really stuck with how to quilt this.  So,  blooming feather by Anne Bright.  Looking back I should have done something less fussy.  Whatever.




I was just putting the quilts away when Bea came along and walked across the Swoon.  I would have been mad except it really was at the perfect spot!


happy weekend,

  1. oh well, they need to be laundered anyway, right? The quilting looks great on these. Do you quilt with a domestic machine or a longarm?

  9. They both look wonderful! I think the quilting on the Swoon suits it perfectly. I'm inspired to pick up my Swoon blocks again, they are at the QAYG stage, the problem is putting them together!
