Shooting Stars at Goose Creek

 In one of my new quilt magazines there was an advertisement for a free quilt pattern called Shooting Stars which was designed by Lynne Goldsworthy of lilysquilts.blogspot.com for Paintbrush Studios.

The quilt is made with fabric from the Goose Creek line from Poppie Cotton.  I purchased all fabrics from The Stitching Room in Utah.  I named the quilt "Shooting Stars at Goose Creek" as it incorporates not only the name of the quilt pattern but also the fabric line which I used.  The quilt finishes at approximately 60" x 60".

I machine quilted this with a pale peach thread using an all over stipple free motion pattern.

Poppie Cotton has some fabulous prints!

The Little Engine That Could

 This was a fun little quilt to make.  The Little Engine That Could panel is from Riley Blake where you can also download a free pattern for this quilt.  The quilt measures approximately 59" x 67 ".  The fabric is from the same line as the panel.

I quilted the quilt with an edge to edge free motion loop design and included some words within the panel itself.  I had also bought the 90th edition of the book written by Watty Piper which inspired me to purchase the panel and fabric to make this quilt.  I purchased all fabric from The Stitching Room in Utah

The quilt measures approximately 59" x 67"

A copy of the new book to go with the quilt.

I didn't name this quilt as it was already
named in the panel itself.

I also included some words in the machine quilting
