All You Need Is Love

 Today I finished my All You Need Is Love quilt.  The pattern is called Through Love by Taren Studios.  I chose ombre fabric that goes from light yellow to pink; hot pink; & a vibrant gold/orange.  Though these are not colors that I would normally use, I do like the end result.  The backing is a pink/white stripe from Kimberbell basics.  The binding is scrappy.  The quilt finished at 63" x 72".  The machine quilting is done using a pantograph called Leaves.  All in all I am pleased with this quilt.  And yes it is for sale.

63" x 72"


The label is a double sided heart using
two layers of iron on fleece so that
it looks puffy.  Reminds me of
Sweet Hearts candy.


MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL & MAY THE NEW YEAR BRING YOU GOOD HEALTH, HAPPINESS, AND OF COURSE, LOVE.

Faith, Family, & Home

 I purchased the quilt pattern booklet "The Original Turning Twenty" by Tricia Cribbs last month from The Stitching Room & knew I wanted to make the quilt.  Randi got in some new fabric & I knew I had to use it for this quilt.  The quilt pattern is very easy and I like the impact made with the fabrics.  Yes, there are chicken, farm animal, & tractor prints in this quilt!

The quilt turned out approximately 80" x 96 ".  I quilted it with the Curls pantograph by Linda Taylor.  I used a grey fabric on the border & binding.  I used a Kimberbell basic fabric for the backing.

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas season & enjoy sharing your talents with others.
