I have 2 client quilts to share today, and an update on Patty's Christmas tree quilt!!
Quilt Info #1:
Size: 45" x 60"
Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton Select
Thread: Glide--Nickel
This Tula Pink quilt is for their niece who is expecting a baby boy! The quilting gives a swirly, "starry night" feeling.
John fussy cut the featured animals in these awesome Tula Pink prints. I especially love the leopard, with stars and hearts for spots! ⤵️
John put the polar bears in the four corners. ⤴️
Wolves. ⤴️ Seals. ⤴️ Puffins. ⤵️
This Tula Pink 108" backing fabric is a super soft sateen! ⤵️ And what a cool print!
Here's a photo taken by John after he added the snazzy lime green binding! ⤵️ Ready for gifting!!! 💝
Sally made this cat quilt for her cousin. She gathered cat prints from many sources, mainly online as she couldn't find any at the local quilt shops. With all the cute cat prints, we went with cat paws quilting! ⤴️⤵️
Sally's favorite quilt design to make is this large diamond shaped block. Her handy husband even made a plexiglass template with smoothed edges for her!
She used each print twice, if I counted correctly. Each print is cute as the dickens!
Sally found the perfect backing--kitties on flannel!
Sally said she plans on binding this quilt in black. Sounds like the perfect frame for this cat-lover's quilt!
Now, if you read my blog on September 16th, you will recall that Patty and her friend, bought the same pattern last year on their camping trip meet up. They agreed to each make it their own and have them finished by this years' camping trip meet up, which was last week. Here they are with their twin quilts!!!
Quilt Info #2:
Maker: Sally
Size: 62" x 92"
Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton Request
Thread: Glide--Nickel
Patty, on the left, made hers from a variety of sources--Lella Boutique, Riley Blake, Marcus Brothers, Henry Glass and Free Spirit Christmas prints. And Patty's friend, on the right, made hers from Tilda Christmas prints. How delightful to see them side by side!!! Very happy faces on these two quilt friends!!!
And yes, they picked out a pattern to work on for next year's camping meet-up, with the stipulation that they have to use fabrics in their collections!
Great job, Quilters!!!
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

I bet it took Sally a while to find all those cat fabrics, purr-fect quilting design! That was nice of Patty to let you share a pic of her and her friend with their tree quilts. Amazing your quilt church group meets every week, how long has John been quilting?
ReplyDeleteJohn's quilt is so attractive with those pops of color amidst the black/white/gray prints. Love the cat quilt so much! And how sweet to see Patty's friend's quilt - love the Liberty fabrics. And the snowflake quilting!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilts! Love the baby quilt in mostly black and white, the cat quilt with all those adorable prints, and the two Christmas quilts. What a lovely tradition they've started! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

I really like the black sashing on that one quilt - really pops the colors
ReplyDeleteI love the cat quilt, and clearly John has embraced quilting well! Fun to see the two camping quilts, and how different they look with the fabric choices. What a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat projects! Love the paw quilting and all those fun cat fabrics!
ReplyDeleteOh I love that cat paw design! Did I miss it, where did you get it? I've been thinking about making some cat quilts soon. I love those Christmas trees! I'll have to go find the info!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed seeing your clients' quilts. John did a great job fussy cutting those animals. And the cat quilt is just a delight. Very fun Christmas Tree quilts too. I'm sure those ladies had fun making the same pattern together.
ReplyDeleteAwesome quilts! I like the lime green binding on the Tula quilt, and black binding will be purr-fect for the cat quilt. It’s great to see the two Christmas tree quilts together!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the quilts here. I think the Interstellar is one of my most favorites ever.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to see what your clients are up to. I can relate to choices made by everyone, including the quilting you execute for them.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts! I love to read about their stories and makers, great job everyone! These are fun I-Spy quilts ;) Thank you for sharing this beautiful work - quilts and quilting - and linking up. Hugs
ReplyDeleteVery fun quilts. The baby quilt with the animals is really cute. It's hard not to love the cat quilt, she did find some very cut prints for it. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteI love that John started quilting because quilting is in the blood. ❤️ And how fun for Patty and her friend to choose a pattern and then share the finished quilt a year later! It's like a remote retreat. Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts. John has a great selection of fabrics with all those animals. I really like the touch of colour he has added to the black and whites and greys. The binding is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe cat quilt is a lot of fun, too, with all the different cat fabrics. What a great selection.
Of course I love the Christmas Tree quilts. A great design. So good to see them done in different ways.
What a great follow up to see the ladies and their two Christmas tree quilts together! It's obvious they have fun together! John was sure creative in his use of the prints to create his quilt and the kitty print selection was great. Four awesome tops which you added the perfect quilting. What a win!
ReplyDeleteI love that John became a quilter; interstellar is perfect for his quilt. The cat diamond quilt is made more interesting by using the diamond pattern. Of course, the paw print is perfect for it.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilts and great quilting, Nancy! Congratulations on a great job quilters. I really love those Christmas trees! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
