Farmers Market

 Well, the hubster asked if I would make one of his DNA second cousins a quilt.  He gave me some ideas & even picked out the main fabric for this one.  The pattern is called Stepping Stones from Pretty Darn Quick 3 Yard Quilts from Fabric Cafe.  The quilt is approximately 70" x 85" and has a pieced backing.  I used an edge to edge pantograph called Curlz from Linda's Electric Quilters using a thread called Sandstone #20950 from Connecting Threads.

Now it's the hubster's job to get it mailed off to the east coast.  Hope Jim likes it.

70" x 85"

Love the gingham with the farmers market fabric!  
The grunge fabric (Shadow Play) is one of my favorite fabrics to use as
a background.

Yukon 2022

 This quilt has been in the back of my mind since my niece & her hubby went on a big hunt in the Yukon last year.  Took me a while to find just the right panel & fabrics.  I adapted a pattern that I had used on a previous quilt to work with this Moose panel.

Fabrics: Shadow Play by Maywood Studio; Natures Finest pattern P9951 panel from Riley Blake Designs; outer border is fabric from Dallen Lambson for QT Fabrics; Spirit Animals by Collin Bogle for P&B Textiles; Shades (brown) by Riley Blake Designs; Green Shadow Play by Maywood Studio.

The quilt measures approximately 79" x 79".  I used a pantograph to do the edge to edge machine quilting.  The pantograph is called Curlz from Linda's Electric Quilters and is one of my favorites to use on some quilts.  The thread color I used is Bark #21102.

The panel & most of the fabric came from Christensen's Dept Store in Richfield and the backing fabric was purchased at The Stitching Room which is also in Richfield UT.

I hope our Amanda likes the quilt.  Since she loves to hunt I think she will.  Much love and prayers went into the making of this quilt.

mind that I used some of her photos.

Love you Amanda!
