Joe and Jane’s quilt by Elaine

This contemporary looking quilt was made by Elaine as a wedding gift for her brother-in-law (husband’s brother) and new sister-in-law.

Quilted with the ever popular Blowin’ Wind pantograph and a titanium coloured thread.

Joe and Jane’s quilt - a beautiful gift of love.

UFO Finished by Doreen

When I asked Doreen the name of the quilt she said UFO Finished.  Boy I sure could call a few of my quilts this as well. For any who aren’t sure a UFO to a quilter is an UnFinished Object.  I actually have a box labeled UFO’s.

 

Not sure why I didn’t get a picture of the whole quilt.  I love quilting Doreen’s scrappy quilts, so many fabrics put together so beautifully.

Doreen picked the pantograph Blowin’ Wind by Jodi Beamish and a light olive thread to complete this quilt.

It’s a good feeling to finish a project and I love that I get to help people get one step closer to finishing their quilts.

There is a time for starting and a time for finishing.

Yellow Rainbow Rows beginning

I thought I was coming to the end of most of my RainbowScrap Challenge quilts blocks, so I was happy to see a quilt that I love in the April 2015 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting which is scrappy and rainbow.  It’s called Rainbow Rows designed by Lissa Alexander.  You can see a picture here.

 

Well I rummaged through my yellow and low volume scraps and made up a bunch of little components of the block.

I also realized that I still have a few yellow blocks of rainbow projects in process to work on.  Should keep me busy for the next couple of Saturday’s.
