Now for some finished quilts...
I am currently writing a pattern for this quilt! I have used "Penelope" by Holly Holderman for Lakehouse Fabrics. I call this quilt "Teacup Crazy"
A detail.
I did straight line quilting...crosshatch style. Kits are available!
Customer quilts are so fun... Here is "Jan's Quilt". She took a modern quilting workshop here at the shop and just a few blocks turned into a fabulous quilt!
Andrew did the quilting...love it!
The quilting lines are random, like the "sticks" and they cross! Cool! Looks like "pick up stix".
Wow! Another customer quilt using our Ombre rainbow fabric for the background! Fun!
And for a quilter's challenge "What is your favorite song" She whipped up this creative entry...
Her favorite song? "Lollypop Lollypop" ofcourse!
