Silent Night Mini Quilt

Patti — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 04:13:26 GMT

This mini quilt is a Christmas gift for my mother-in-law. The embroidery is from Embroidery Library (Silent Night Square) and is approx. 6" square. The overall size of the quilt is about 16" square. I outlined the embroidery and then did a large meander on my longarm machine to quilt it.

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.

Quilts for Kids Music quilt

Patti — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 20:41:36 GMT

This is another charity quilt for www.quiltsforkids.org. This one was made with my own fabrics and I replaced the large focus fabric squares in the pattern with plain blocks embroidered with music designs. I was thinking that this would be a good quilt for an older child with an interest in music.

I quilted this on my longarm with a music notes pantograph and the laser light.

Things That Go quilt

I began this quilt back in 2005 for a little boy named Joshua, but never got around to finishing it. I pulled it out a few days ago and started cutting the plain blocks and piecing the quilt. Today I quilted it on the longarm and added the binding. It will now be for a little boy named Isaac, as Joshua is probably too old for it now. :-D

The vehicle blocks are all appliqued and the words are embroidered. I quilted it using a pantograph with vehicles on it. The backing is a combination of fleece and cotton, as the fleece wasn't wide enough to cover the back.

Patti's Santa's Reindeer Quilt

Patti — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 01:46:06 GMT

I made this quilt using the Santa and Reindeer embroidery designs from Embroidery Library. The reindeer are embroidered on snow fabric (except Rudolph who is embroidered on blizzard fabric!). The quilting is stitch-in-the-ditch and outline embroidery designs on the blank squares.
