Up The Creek

 Commissioned quilt #5 of #6.  The fabric was fun to use.  The blue with the paddles on it was my favorite on this quilt.  The paddle fabric is called A Day At Then Lake by Laura Marshall for Wilmington Fabrics; the blue is Whisper Weave by Nancy Halverson for Benartex; and the grey textured fabric is Essentials by Danui Nai for Wilmington.  The backing is 108" wide Wilmington Essentials Watercolor Texture in dark grey.  I did a free motion quilting motif I call "Wonky Tetrus" (yes, I spelled it that way on purpose) & used a thread color called Dove.  All in all I am very happy with this one and I hope the customer is as well.  The fabric for the quilt top was purchased at Christensens Department Store in Richfield UT.  They have  quite the assortment of "outdoorsy" fabric which I use in several of my quilts for the hunters/campers/outdoors people.

The pattern for this quilt is called "Wonderland" from the Make It Christmas with 3 yard quilt book from Fabric Cafe.  I always increase the yardage to make bigger quilts.  Their books include sizes from  lap to king.

Finished at approximately 88 1/2" x 88 1/2"

Don't you just love those paddles!

I named this one "Up The Creek".

(as without a paddle)

Flowering Pathway

 Completed this fun quilt last night.  The pattern is "Wandering Way" from Fabric Cafe from the "Quilts in A Jiffy 3 Yard Quilts book.  The fabric is Hunny Bunny by Meags & Me for Clothworks Fabric.  I purchased the fabric from The Stitching Room and I am very happy that I did as that line is almost gone now!  I love the dusty rose & greys in this line.

The pattern was so much fun to make.  I made wonky bias binding for this quilt from the dark pink stripe fabric in the line.  By cutting the binding a certain way the lines change direction every once in a while.  I really had fun with this one.

I used the soft 80/20 batting from Winline.  It is so soft and comfy.  I machine quilted an edge to edge pantograph called "Flower Power" from Urban Elementz with a lovely cotton thread in Blush color.  This quilt has hand binding on it.

Yes, this quilt will go up for sale.

I really like the pattern!

The grey with light pink polka dots

was the perfect backing for this quilt.

I named this one "Flowering Pathway".
