Quilter of the Day!

I currently have over 300 edge to edge designs to select from when considering the stitching that goes on a quilt.  I have to say I do have a few favorites.  Dorothy from WA sent me these great quilts and they are without a doubt perfect for using two of my favorite designs.

Dorothy is on a mission to use up some of her stash - good for her!!  These two quilts are wonderful examples of how the scrappy stash buster quilts can be fabulous!!


Isn't that just a fabulous quilt?  I LOVE it!!  Here's a close up of the border and you can really see the quilting design.


Dorothy used a solid backing that really shows the design and the color is perfect!


This is a second quilt from Dorothy.   Interesting design, I really didn't see it until I stepped back.  The off set blocks are really fun.


Another border shot showing the quilting design, one of my favorites....


And again, the backing tells all.....


Great job Dorothy!!  A couple of really wonderful quilts!

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

It's all about happy flowers with my Quilter of the Day!

Spring is just around the corner, right??   I am so ready for it, as I am sure the rest of the country is also.  It has been a looooog winter for us all.  

Ginny is my quilter of the day today, she is from the state of Washington!  Long way from New Hampshire but I am always happy to see her mail on my door step.  I've only done a couple of quits for Ginny but they have been wonderful!!

This first one is for a granddaughter and how fabulous is it?  It is a super, super happy fun quilt that I am sure will be well loved from day one. 


Aren't the flowers and birds just adorable?  And check out the flowers on the borders on this quilt, just happy I tell ya!
 

 Here's the entire quilt, don't forget you can click on it for a closer look!


 Ginny had sent me this one earlier and I'm just getting around to posting it.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE blue so this one has been one of my favorites to work with!


I believe Ginny did a ton of fussy cutting on this quilt, the oriental 
prints are very relaxing.





I fell in love with this quilting design by the time I was done with the quilt. I think it finished the quilt off perfectly!  Once again Anne Bright did it again with this design, Tristen.


Well, that's it for this Sunday night, almost the last day of March.  April is knocking on the door.  Hope you had a great weekend,
thanks for checking on me,

Quilt of the day...Snowflakes!

I know, I know, we've all had just about enough!!  Everyone around here is actually looking forward to mud season and saying they won't even complain about black flies.  Now that is something!!

Jen made this adorable quilt for her Mother-In-Law Eileen.  She did a fabulous job on all of the machine applique, carefully going around each and everyone of those little designs!!  Check it out!!


And then we decided to go with a snowflake machine quilting design.  Finishes it 
off with a great texture.


Didn't she do a great job?  I love it!!


that's it for today, hope you all are having a great weekend!!
