Cuddly Child's Pillowcase

I've been working on a cute pillowcase for a daughter of a friend of mine. She is my "adopted" grandchild. Hehe!

If you've never made a pillowcase TRY IT! They are fun, fast and ADDICTING!

Take a peek at the YouTube video by Missouri Star Quilt Company. I have attached a link here.

Better late than never . . .

I wanted to show this fall thread-painted quilt before we got too much in the Christmas spirit!  The center is a panel from Stephanie Brandenburg called Daydreams II.  The pattern is from  Mountain Peak Creations called Flight North.


I thread-painted the center panel and quilted a separate design in each of the colored flying geese.

Off the Longarm today

Okay - I'm nervous! This is my first post and I don't know what I'm doing, so we will see how it goes.

I just took this quilt off the longarm today. Mary S. entrusted me to longarm this quilt in memory of her father who died when she was young. He was a Boy Scout leader and also took his family to the lake to canoe. I really felt her father helped me with the designs, especially the blue block, where I quilted the Boy Scout insignia free hand. I think it turned out well.

Thanks Mary for letting me quilt such a special quilt! I hope you like it.
