Red, Black, and Gold

I somehow managed to get this quilt done before I headed off to the quilt shop hop last week. I just didn't get around to posting it. I did what I call the square sunflower in the large blocks, and x's in the small squares. The outer border is large loops, but since blogger is struggling right now, I cannot upload my detail picture for you to see it.

Free Pattern - Pink Chocolate


I can't resist posting a link to this fun quilt pattern. Yes it is free! I love these fabrics from the Chocolate Lollipop line by Anna Maria Horner. I would also like to make a hand bag out of these, or one of these diaper/wipes cases.

Ducky


If the ducks in this quilt haven't got you smiling - well I just don't know what to do about that! I love this baby quilt I did today. The quilting consists of swirl meander, loops, stars, and I even quilted the word "Quack" into it a few times. I couldn't resist. Maybe I'll go take the kids to the park to feed the ducks.

Falling Leaves


How lucky could I be to get to do so many fall quilts this season! I love this leaf quilt that I finished quilting this morning. I quilted down the center of the stripes on the border, an oak leaf vine in the inner border, and I added an oak leaf with echos to the plain blocks. Hope you like it!

Vintage Halloween


Quilted this one today too. It is a Thimbleberries table topper with their new Halloween vintage fabrics. I love how the colors of the fabric, especially the black are faded just a little to give it the feel of older fabrics.

Nine Jacks

I love getting to do holiday quilts near the season of the specific holiday. This one was a lot of fun. How can you not smile at those cute jack-o-lanterns? Fall is here and I am loving it! Look for some more festive posts coming in the future!
