Sheep wallhanging

Patti — Sun, 30 Dec 2012 23:35:27 GMT

While on a shop hop this year, I purchased a kit to make this small sheep quilt. It is about 11"x18". The sheep are appliqued and I used all the fabrics in the kit except for the turquoise cornerstones, which came from my stash. The fabric given for those was almost exactly the same as the fabric for the rectangles that they are sewn to, and didn't provide enough contrast. I machine quilted it with X's on the squares and rectangles, a small stipple around the sheep, and a loopy meander on the borders. I also did SID around the borders and the sheep areas.

Kitty stocking

This is a stocking for one of my grand-kitties, Oliver. I still need to make one for Opus and one for Maestro.

This is a free pattern from Embroidery Library:

Kitty Stocking

They also have a free pattern for a puppy stocking (bone-shaped):

Puppy Stocking

The pattern calls for pre-quilted fabric for the back of the stocking. I chose to use the same green fabric as I used on the front (Patrick Loses' Fizz fabric) and I quilted it myself.

I made this quilt for an older lady at our church. I designed it in EQ7 and quilted it on my longarm. My longarm is not behaving properly (it will race at times; other times it will make a few really long stitches; need to call the service tech), so I actually ended up stitching around the appliques with my sewing machine. I'm hoping she doesn't find all my boo-boos. :-D

Schnauber-Robinson quilt

I made this quilt to be raffled off at our family reunion this weekend. The photos are of my grandparents when they lived on their farm in Northern New York state. The pattern is Karen Montgomery's Picture This. It was quilted on my longarm with a freehand stipple in the larger areas and stitch-in-the-ditch around the filmstrip and photos.

Patriotic Tablerunner

Patti — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 21:53:13 GMT

With all the snow we've had, I needed to make something to remind me of summer, so I made this Patriotic Tablerunner. It is a Patrick Lose design and I think it measures about 43"x14". It is machine appliqued, stars are fused and blanket stitched, and it was quilted on my Tin Lizzie longarm. The quilting is a freehand stars and loops pattern.
