The pattern for this quilt is called Dusky Mountains.  Commissioned quilt.  Person wanted yarn dyed linen fabric.  The background color is called Nutmeg, Ivory for the mountains, Expresso and Indigo for the triangles.  Used stippling  for the overall quilting pattern.  The quilt was a challenge for me.  Linen is more difficult, it is heavier and tends to ravel.  Also, the colors requested did not match the pattern so I struggled a bit with the placement of the pieces.  I needed some advice from a friend and from my son ........then the pattern came out correctly.  I feel like the pattern is striking.  I was unable to make it larger though so may not be exactly what the person requested.  I did the best I could.  

 Daughter Jessi chose this  Helios pattern with coral and white fabric for a new quilt.  Went together quickly.  I knew I needed to quilt it with straight lines.  On the longarm, straight lines are difficult for me.  So I forced myself to use a longarm ruler.  Marked the lines in the squares first and then used the ruler.  It worked well.  I did get better as I went along.....practice!!!

 

Using up fabric scraps.  My scrap bins are overflowing.  Doubt if I live long enough to use them up!  This pattern is called Heart Blossoms.  Tried some new patterns in my free motion long arm quilting.   This quilt will go on my bed not on the wall.  

 

 This is called Breezy Day.  A baby quilt.  Pinwheels are so fun to make.  I especially like the border fabric.

 Baby Rowan likes the scrappy star quilt I made for her.  What a very sweet little girl.

A new table runner. Love a quilt that involves piecing and hand applique.  This pattern is called Treasures from the Scrap Bin.  Love the color combination of orange and blue.

 This quilt pattern is called My Happy Place by Lori Holt. Depicts all the different parts of sewing.  I found a friend who also loves quilting and we both made this quilt using Lori Holt fabric.  It was a new way to prepare applique using interfacing.  I really like this method.  So now my sewing room has a new wall hanging..........it is my happy place.
