I had a customer quilt finished up on Saturday and another started on Sunday. I love quilting weekends. The first is a great quilt, a gift for girls hockey team coach. The hockey team colors are the bright green and black (like the borders). The colored squares are the college colors of the girls on the team. They will all be going to college next year. This is a gift one of the mom's made for the coach. The girls will each sign one of the blank white squares. The other white squares are emblems for the colleges the girls will be attending. What a great keepsake. The hockey player of the mom who made this quilt has been skating since she was 3 and playing hockey almost as long. What a great keepsake for the coach. Glad I was able to quilt it and hear the story of this quilt. The fabric on the back, hockey pucs, love it! Oh and I think I FINALLY finished this quilt before I took it off the frame. FINALLY!!! Guess it helps when you do simple ;)

The second one on the frame is a scrappy broken dishes quilt. I'm doing an all over hook feather on this one. There are so many different fabrics in this one, what a treasure.
Check out the side bar for the linky parties, so much fun and inspiration out there!!
What a terrific remembrance quilt! And your simple quilting is still stunning. Oh, the broken dishes scrappy quilt on the frame is beautiful - my kind of quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love that remembrance quilt....... I think it's a great sentimental idea! I'm loving the broken dishes too, I'm a big fan of scrappy.
ReplyDeleteI love that hockey quilt! What a wonderful gift.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of gridded traditional quilting...I guess that is old fashioned or maybe cuz it's what I am able to do. whichever, I really like this one.
ReplyDeleteI love both of these finishes!! What a special gift and I too love the scrappy one! Have fun quiltling it.
ReplyDeleteLove the hockey quilt. What a great idea. The pinwheels are beautiful too. Your quilting makes them extra special.
ReplyDeleteI like your "simple" quilting on the hockey quilt. The straight lines complement the squares beautifully.
ReplyDeleteSometimes simply is better which works great for this quilt. So clean and neat looking.
ReplyDeleteCool quilts. Your quilting looks great too. Love when there is a story!
ReplyDeleteYou do 'simple' quilting extremely well :) It looks great, the perfect choice for this quilt. Love the story that goes with the quilt as well. Can't wait to see the broken windows quilt finished :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilting. Do you knot your beginning and ending stitches or do you start tiny and move to the correct size or ? When you begin and end your stitching? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteThey both look great! The green border quilting is really cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilting on the hockey quilt, you do simple "beautifully. The scrap broken dishes quilt is gorgeous.....can't wait to see it finished. I have a "thing" for feathers.
ReplyDeleteI love your scrappy broken dishes quilt. I just love scrappy quilts. I quite often sit there just staring at my scrappy quilts, remembering the fabrics where they came from, what else I'd used them in... just lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat simple quilting is fabulous. You do such great work, Sue! I'm very sure your customers will be thrilled with them. Thanks for sharing the eye candy!
ReplyDeleteSometimes simple is just what the quilt doctor ordered. You always seem to know just the right design to compliment the piecing. Both quilts are very sweet!
ReplyDeleteThe hocky quilt will be a fabulous quilt to give as a remembrance quilt. Hope the team signed the blocks!
