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.

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.

Schnauber-Robinson quilt

Patti — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 05:20:39 GMT

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.

Artist Cat Pillow

Patti — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 21:57:13 GMT

This is a design by Amy Bradley (pattern title, "Mona"). I made the small quilt into a 12"x16" pillow for my artist friend, who loves cats. The fused appliqued pieces were blanket stitched and the design details were done with a satin stitch.

Patti's Walk for Life Banner

Patti — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 02:45:39 GMT

Our church women's group made this banner to carry in a Walk for Life fundraiser in October 2006. The center section (the baby) is a Patrick Lose pattern. The pregnant woman and the toddler were original designs. The woman has real beads for her necklace and her bracelet and the toddler's hair is 3-D.

Patti's Tahiti Quilt

Patti — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 02:08:25 GMT

This is a quilt that I made to commemorate our 25th anniversary cruise to Tahiti. The pattern is "Picture This" by Karen Montgomery. It was made pre-longarm, so it is stitch-in-the-ditch quilting.

Patti's Pittsburgh Sports Quilt

Patti — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 01:57:15 GMT

I made this Pittsburgh Sports quilt in February 2009. Since it was pre-longarm, the quilting was strictly stitch-in-the-ditch. The original design was created using an EQ6 Custom layout. I appliqued the letters using my embroidery machine. I'm fortunate that all our local national sports teams are Black and Gold!

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.

Patti's Fish Quilt

Patti — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 01:35:09 GMT

I made this quilt for my husband a couple of years ago. It was a Quilt University class.

Patti's practice quilt

Patti — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 01:27:22 GMT

I needed a pieced quilt to practice my longarm quilting skills, so I threw together this little wallhanging. I quilted it on my longarm, following a pantograph with a laser light.

Patti's Sewing Themed Quilt

Patti — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 01:19:11 GMT

This was my first quilt, made in the Starting From Scratch Quilt University class that I took back in Fall of 2004. I completed the top during the class, but did not want to hand quilt it, and didn't like to quilt on my table top machine. In March of 2010, I received a longarm quilting machine from my dear husband and after practicing on some small quilts, I tackled this one. I quilted it using a pantograph, from the back of my longarm. I accidentally quilted the designs upside down and spent a couple of months agonizing over what to do about it. I finally decided to finish the quilting upside down and hope that no one would ever notice! I'm very happy with the results and love that it is finally hanging on my sewing room wall after all these years!
