American Honor II

 The third and final quilt using panels from the American Honor fabric line by Vicki Gifford for Riley Blake Designs.  The pattern is called Stars & Honor by Needle in a Hayes Stack.

I machine quilted this one with an edge to edge design called Live Wire by Meredith England.  I have had this design for many years (long before even having my longarm).  I just copy designs in a smaller format to work with my Brother 1500 on my Grace Start Right frame.  I did use my King Quilter 18 longarm for this quilt so the design was enlarged to fill more space in a row of quilting.  I used Glide thread in the color Linen.

The quilt finished at approximately 53" x 64" and is machine bound.  I called this one American Honor II as I utilized two of the same soldier panels for my projects.

As we enjoy our patriotic holidays this year let us keep in mind those men and women who have served and are currently serving this great nation in the military.  We cannot leave out their dear ones who wait patiently for them to return home.

God Bless America!

Gourdeous

 I really love the colors in this fabric line called Oh My Gourd by Danielle Leone for Wilmington Printss.  I purchased the 10" square pack (commonly known as a layer cake or 10 Karat Crystals).  I also purchased some yardage to add a border to the Picket Fence pattern from Busy Hands Quilts.  I purchased the pattern and fabrics from The Quilt Shop at Christensen's in Richfield UT.  The backing was a bolt that I had purchased a few years ago and it is Awesome Autumn by Sandy Gervais for Riley Blake Designs.  It worked perfectly for this backing as the colors and the acorn print went so well with the quilt top fabrics.

I machine quilted this quilt with a pantograph called English Oak from Urban Elementz using Glide thread in the color Cleopatra.  I machine bound the quilt and made the label.  I also used one of my new label tags from Jammin Threads through Amazon.  I called this one Gourdeous in keeping with the fabric line name.

The quilt is approximately 67" x 86".  Hubby asked if this one will be for sale but I am still thinking about that.  I made a matching pillowcase as well.

Onward to the next project in line.

Enjoy your summer and stay safe.  Blessings to all of you.
