Pears by Joined at the Hip

I love it when I get to quilt for myself. My mom and I made these pear wallhangings from kits we purchased in the fall. I just got them both quilted. Mine is hanging on the inside of my front door.

Striped Squares

I like this simple quilt pattern. I used mostly geometricish quilting on it.

Since it wasn't very girly to begin with, I didn't want to add to many girly flowers and such.

Civil War Quilt

Another sampler quilt. My customer said it is a Civil War quilt. The colors are a little washed out in these photos. The quilt is beautiful.

Here is a closeup of the borders. Feathers, flowers, and swirl leaf sashing.

And here are some of my favorite blocks.

I reapeated the flower from the border in a few of the blocks.

Love the flags.

Fisherman

You will recognize this quilt as another art quilt from my artsy quilter.
She called this her scrap quilt. I would love to have my scraps turn out like this. She has developed a great personal style which I am starting to see in her quilts. This one is a mix of folk art, and Japanese to me. The fish and flowers look kind of Asian. I like it.

Here is the border and branch detail.

The fish were definately my favorite.

Especially this fish.

Giveaway at Old Red Barn Co.

There is a giveaway today at Old Red Barn Co. It is for this amazing quilt! No kidding. Me and my quilt rack are dying for it! There are also runner up prizes which include gift certificates to her natural body care product company. Check it out!

Blue Plate Special

This is my favorite quilt that I have quilted lately. It was pieced by my mom. (It is actually applique.) The pattern is by Quilt Soup.

They have alot of fun applique patterns, and a few without applique. I signed up for their monthly newsletter which includes a soup recipe. I love soup!

Red and Black Plaid

I did two of these soft flannel quilts lately. They remind me of highschool, because they are my school colors, and I quilted them for my best highschool friend's sister. I think a shirt in one of these lovely plaids would have been pretty stylin' then too.

The Village Shop Blog

My sister Bonny and I started a fun new blog this week. We will be sharing all of our handmade projects as well as tutorials and giveaways. We have a giveaway going on this week so check it out! We also opened our Etsy shop!

Jenny's Pink Sampler

This is a sampler quilt I did for my sister Jenny last week.

This picture didn't turn out quite as good as I hoped, but it is the large border from the back so you can see the quilting better.

I really want to try a block like this.

One of my favorites.

Isn't the sashing crazy intricate?
