Next we have one that you could have picked up while walking the beach at the ocean....


the feathers were just perfect....
 

And who could resist this blue one?   


 Stitching on this one was another great design from Anne....In the Moment 
has so much movement!

Quilt of the day.....

Whew!!  Trying to get back into the swing of things.  Life just gets way too busy sometimes.  So a short post for today to share this great quilt.

Edith is my quilter of the day, this wonderful quilt made it's way to me from the great state of Washington!   Those west coast ladies sure know how to put some great quilts together.  Here's a shot of Edith's quilt....


Don't  you just love the circles, and the oriental print is fantastic!!






I used a great design by Anne Bright, she is my all time favorite designer.  This pattern is called Syringa Paradise and I think it matches the print perfectly!





 The moment I saw the fabric I knew this was the design to use! I absolute love this one, the colors are just right for me, love the blues!!

that's it for today,
thanks for checking on me,

Quilter of the day...

These two great quilts come all the way from the state of Washington!!  

Dorothy did a great job with this green log cabin with the rose centers.  Definitely some fussy cutting for this little quilt!  Looks great! 


Stitched out a simple swirl design on this one....


Got scraps?  Here's a fantastic way to use them up!  This is one of my favorite 
way to use them!  

 
We used a wonderful design from Anne Bright, it's called Cypress.  
Here's a close up....

Quilter of the day...

Our quilt today was made by Chris, and it's another one of those wrap me up in a soft snuggly quilt.  The colors add to the warmth of this quilt.  Chris threw in a couple of fun little blocks to add a just a little extra color.  Here's the quilt....


q I believe this was a quick and easy quilt using 4" x 6" rectangles to construct a simple 12" block.  Could be a great weekend project if you are looking for one!


Use Anne Bright edge to edge Leaves, which is a perfect design for 
a manly quilt.


That's it for today, hope you are having a wonderful day filled with lots of springtime weather!

Quilt of the day...

Every once in a while you get this perfectly peaceful, beautifully pieced, amazing quilt.
This quilt is one of those.  The colors are so warm and inviting, the quilt pattern is comforting. I truly enjoyed this quilt. 

Suzanne from NH dropped off this wonderful quilt, immediately I felt it just needed the Anne Bright Denali design.  It is one of my favorites, it's simple and elegant all at the same time. 


My lighting does not do justice to Suzanne's quilt.





The backing is almost retro, but works very well with this quilt.  I think it really ties the border into the backing, and just pulls it all together.




Here's a better shot of the quilting... very swirling, it is an amazing quilt!

that's it for today...
