Mysterious Deer Vista, Frida, and more...

 I have 5 quilts to share this week, from mini & table runner sizes to throws!

Maker: Susan
Pattern: Mysterious Deer Vista from Equilter
Size: 52" x 61"
Batting: Warm & Natural
Thread: Glide--Light Tan
Pantograph: Antlers ⤵️ from Anne Bright Designs
A deer quilt calls for Antlers quilting! I'm always glad when I get the chance to use this panto as it doesn't come up very often.
Flannel backing makes a quilt so soft! ⤵️
This deer looks so realistic! Susan adjusted this free pattern to fit her panel size. Great job, Susan!!!
Quilt Info #2:

Pattern: Frida from GE Designs
Size: 61" x 76"
Batting: Quilters Dream 80/20
Thread: Glide--Sky
Pantograph: Ikat #1 ⤵️ from Urban Elementz
"Ikat #1" is one of my favorite modern pantographs! ⤴️⤵️
Isn't this a gorgeous 108" wide Grunge backing?!!
Lynn started this quilt on February 7, 2026, during the Frida QAL. Lynn and I sewed together that day in my studio. Bold, fun quilt, Lynn!!!
Quilt Info #3:
Maker: Susan
Pattern: Garden Path from Fabric Cafe
Size: 45" x 62"
Batting: Warm & Natural
Thread: Glide--Azure
Pantograph: Scandi Snowflake ⤵️ from Intelligent Quilting
"Scandi Snowflake" is my favorite winter pantograph--very modern and chic!
Great stitch definition on the minkee backing! This backing looks like Grunge minkee! I love it!!! Susan got it from Hobby Lobby.
This is a 3-yard quilt pattern--three contrasting/coordinating prints, one yard of each! Wonderful, Susan!!!
Quilt Info #4:
Maker: Karen
Pattern: Petalicious Too from Nancy Rink @ Connecting Threads
Size:  20" x 64"
Batting: Quilters Dream Poly
Thread: Glide--Cream
Pantograph: Freemotion Texture 1 ⤵️ from Sew Shabby Pantos
This table runner is all about Spring and tulips! So I simply added texture to it, "Freemotion Texture 1", to be exact!
Karen made this table runner for her daughter-in-law, who went to the quilt shop with her and helped pick out the colors to match her home! Karen reports her DIL has real color confidence! 
Super sweet finish, in plenty of time for Spring! I happen to know that Karen already has the binding on, in the dark green stem fabric! Beautiful finish!!!
Quilt Info #5:
Maker: Me
Size:  7" x 9"
Batting: Quilters Dream Poly
Thread: Glide--Chestnut
Pantograph: Ripples E2E ⤵️ from My Creative Stitches
I wanted to keep the quilting simple for these English paper pieced hexagons. This quilting is a computerized pantograph called "Ripples". Once it's set up on the computer, it ripples back and forth across the quilt for 15 rows. 
This mini quilt is a bit bittersweet for me. I hand pieced these hexies while my husband was in the hospital. It definitely gave me something constructive to do, as well as a great conversational topic with the staff. And of course my husband was cheering me on.
I made this using a mini charm pack and 1" paper hexagons. For backing and binding I used this sweet bunny fabric. ⤵️
I trimmed the edges off straight for ease of binding and so it would fit on my quilt stand.
Here are all 5 quilts once more. Thanks for stopping by!!!
