Quilting frenzy

Here I am laying out colorful patches of fabric, on the studio floor!
My four year old came along and took my portrait. (LOL)


artist in residence...moi

It's been a busy summer of wedding quilts. Two weddings in the family, in ONE MONTH! Can you say frenzy/harried/crazy month of September for us!?!

Cut, lay out quilt squares, stitch together, cut, quilt, sew....
something like that?!

Sole queen sized

From concept to conception! Got it cut, sewn and quilted in a week! Wheweeeee!
Ran it to the post office and got it off, on it's way to South Carolina, baby!

Sole colorfulllllll

It's so colorful and works well for Summer into Fall. Perfect for a new bride and groom~
I made this quilt with the gorgeous Valori Well's fabrics that my brother and his finance picked out! (from the Sole line) Well.....they wanted something with punchy bright colors and flowery, so I led them to the Sole line.....sneaky sister, I am!

red carpet of flowers

Reminds me of a red carpet spread out in the garden! I didn't use a pattern here...just made it up as I went. That's how I typically quilt. I love to find my own rhythm.

That quilt is beautiful! I love that fabric. I have been so stuck with traditional patterns and fabric. I would love to try something like this. Cute pictures! Have a blessed day!

This is such gorgeous quilt. I love the machine quilting too. It must have been hard to give up, especially after putting it together in such a frenzy. Gorgeous!
