I am always amazed at the beauty of these photo quilts and am positive the recipients will be absolutely tickled pink when they open this truly one of a kind anniversary gift.  Mary you did a wonderful job - you should be very very proud.

Mary made this beautiful quilt, I for a relative - maybe even her Mom and Dad ( note to self - self you need to make clearer notes).  Mary if you read this post and I am wrong please send me an e-mail and I will change it.

The quilting is very simple freehand double

This bright cheery quilt is another one of Susan's lovely quilts.  The quilting is freehand hearts.

This is another wonderful example of what can be done with those scraps we all have laying around the studio.  Susan did a great job putting hers together to make this great quilt. Love that saw tooth border Susan.

The quilting is freehand "spiky swirls" and the thread is variegated Tutti by Wonderfil.

Love these Hunter Star quilts!  Elizabeth is a wonderful customer and quilting friend.  She drops quilts off, picks quilts up and takes time to chat and catch up. We laugh, we cry and all in all have a great time talking about quilting of course, grand children, dogs, and our upcoming trip to Houston in the fall.

A year or so ago Elizabeth saw I was working on my Hunter Star quilt (not quilted yet, I might add).  She asked about it, and I told her about Debbie Tuckers Rapid Fire Hunter Star DVD and ruler I used

I really liked this design by Angela Walters and wanted to give it a try.  When I first saw it I thought it would be great for masculine quilts and I'm always on the look out for something suitable for men's quilts.

This top was made for Victoria Quilts by a very giving person and quilted using my rendition of Angela's design.  I really think with a bit more practice this would fit in very well into my repertoire of designs.

I know from speaking with customers that this pattern has been a very popular one this past while.  Julie said she had a lot of fun making this very cool quilt using some of her scraps (a girl after my own heart). LOL

The quilting is freehand double swirls, Hobbs 80/20 batting and lovely variegated thread by
Wonderfil.

Lori is a first time customer and just starting out quilting.  This lovely quilt is one of her first quilts and she mentioned the name is "All Fenced In".  Lori did an awesome job on this quilt and I understand she is already working on another project. So wonderful to see these young women taking up the art of quilting - way to go ladies!

The quilting on this beauty is freehand daisy/swirls/funky hearts.  Lori gave me free reign with the design so I just went all out and had a lot of fun.  The batting is Hobbs

Michele brought me this lovely wall quilt showing a number of God's beautiful creations.  I'm not sure where Michele will hang this quilt - maybe in the Lodge, maybe it's a gift - not sure!

The quilting is freehand swirls in the background with custom stitching in the ditch around the animal blocks and the animals themselves.  I tried to add some definition to the beautiful creatures as well as the foliage behind them - aren't they amazing. 

This lovely quilt was brought in by first time customer Cari.  Cari wasn't sure how she wanted the quilting but did mention she wanted veins in the maple leaves.  A combination of freehand and custom quilting was used to complete this stunning quilt.

The freehand swirls were done using a cream colored thread for the background fill and a gorgeous variegated thread - Mirage by Wonderfil for the veins in the maple leaves giving them a lovely 3 dimentional look.
