Those feathers!!!

You always choose such nice designs for quilting the quilts. I love the feathers but the other designs look lovely on their quilts also. I understand about great nieces and nephews, soon it will be time for me to start making baby quilts for mine also! Happy quilting!
ReplyDeleteKaren's Carpenter Stars are both similar but each beautiful in its own way. Missy placed the ginghams in a way that made me think the fabric was polka dot! So pretty. Your quilting looks stunning - lucky ladies to have you as their quilter. :)
ReplyDeleteYou ladies work so well together to create gorgeous quilts. I agree those feathers are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes for you and for the makers of the quilt tops.
ReplyDeleteAlways un to see what you three are sewing and quilting! Such pretty quilts, finished with your lovely quilting!
ReplyDeleteYou're a lucky lady to have a hand in all these beautiful finishes. I am partial to the Irish chain quilt -- I'll never tire of the striking simplicity of an Irish chain!
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet quilts - I really enjoy seeing what your quilting customers make, Nancy. And now I want to make one of each, lol! The triplet quilting design is a neat one, too. Beautiful finishes!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet finishes. I love the Alouette. I had it as a panto, maybe I should get the digital one.
ReplyDeleteThe Carpenter's Star is very striking and such a nice bonus to use up leftover fabrics. I like that you quilted in white/light thread so the design shows through on the prints. The baby quilts are darling, too.
ReplyDeleteA Carpenter's Star is on my future quilt list. I just love them. All those baby quilts are so adorable.
ReplyDeleteI can see why Karen was tempted by that border fabric. Loved how she incorporated it into her Carpenter Star's block. I'm a big feathers fan, so really appreciate the pantograph she chose and you quilted so beautifully, as well.
ReplyDeleteyou always have something on your quilting frame don't you.
ReplyDeleteVery nice quilts! I am always a fan of gingham, so that one is my favorite although they are all winners! I am glad to see the Glide linen quilted out on each. It blends very well.
ReplyDeleteThe second Carpenter's star sure has a lot of depth and Missy's baby quilt fabrics sure made up into sweet baby quilts! Your quilting adds just the right touch to the pattern and fabric every time! You are so masterful with your quilting!
ReplyDeleteAll are so very nice! Thanks for detailing the names of the quilting designs as well as the pattern design names.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts, Nancy, and I love your quilting! Beautiful! A Carpenter's Star quilt has been on my bucket list for I don't know how long. Karen's CS is gorgeous, and look at those points!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilts all round.
ReplyDeleteThe Carpenter's star looks wonderful and the border brings it together very nicely.
The pinwheels look great with the combination of florals and ginghams. They work so well.
The nine patches in the second baby quilt sit so well on the background.
The quilts for the baby cousins are delightful.
I enjoy seeing what you've quilted (or pieced) each week. Baby Blue Eyes is a wonderful design. I try not to use it every time I quilt! I like the other two but keep telling myself I have enough designs. (Hum, so why do I have several tagged to buy??) Have a great week. What are you sewing these days?
ReplyDeleteThat carpenter star quilt is gorgeous, quilting included. All three of them are great baby quilts.
ReplyDeleteYour friends pieced some lovely quilts. And your quilting is always the perfect 'frosting', Grace.
ReplyDeleteLove Karen's carpenter star, and seeing the first one, too. The quilting looks like it was made for that quilt. Missy's cousins quilts are great fun, just perfect for the wee ones. Love both of the quilting patterns on them, too. Going to check out amblin vines, a new name to me (you have probably used it before and I missed it).
ReplyDeleteThree new lovely quilts! I agree with you, these feathers are beautiful and elegant! I love how gingham and flowers work together, Missy made a very sweet and cute baby quilt. Thank you for sharing your pretty work and linking up.
ReplyDeleteI love baby quilts and these are simply adorable! You did an awesome job on the quilting. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

These are beautiful quilts and your quilting is wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts and quilting, Nancy! I really love that Carpenter's Star!! I thought I had commented on your post, but now I don't see it so if I did comment, just delete this one! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings!
