Two more quilts home from the quilter . . . .
Welcome Home Baby Swoon!
I just love how the quilting really brings this top to life.
The intricate quilting around these big block pieces really adds interest to this quilt.
I'm sorry to say goodbye to this quilt but it's going to a good home . . . . . sometime.
For more information on this quilt see Lifetime Quilt Number 76.
Here's the other quilt that's home,
Mocha Trails, Lifetime Quilt Number 63.
When I finished piecing this quilt I loved the 9 patch blocks and the red rectangle pattern but didn't think much of the star blocks. I just didn't think they added anything to the quilt.
The quilting really brings the star blocks to life, I just love those star blocks now.
The quilting has a really nice flow, several different designs, but they all go together nicely.
This feather design flows through the red rectangles.
I'm still not tired of that Maison de Garance fabric by French General.
Another winner for the red couch!
These quilts were quilted by Linda at the Quilted Pineapple. She's only had her longarm machine a little over year, you wouldn't know it by looking at these quilts. Thanks Linda, I 'm thrilled to have my quilts home and couldn't be happier with your work.
Linda certainly made these quilts sparkle! Fantastic job to both of you!
ReplyDeleteWhat I have seen on the internet of Linda's quilting, she can make quilt sing! Thanks for sharing pics of the quilts they are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteA good quilter can truly breath life into our quilts, can't they??? Beautiful, every one of them! Hugs...

ReplyDeleteLinda is a natural talent - beautiful quilts, Thelma.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these quilts are beautiful and complete now with the spectacular quilting by Linda. Your daughter will love the Baby Swoon (I think that's who it is destined for) :)

Just beautiful! The quilting is perfect for the pattern in the quilt... I believe it is important for the quilting to blend in rather than overwhelm, and your longarmer knows how to do it right!
ReplyDeleteLinda is an amazing quilter!!! such an inspiration. I love both your quilts Thelma...beautifully pieced, beautiful fabrics. :)

Gorgeous!! Linda did an amazing job on your quilts. She is a wonderful quilter and to think she has only been at it for about a year! I know your daughter will take really good care of Swoon and Mocha Trails is gorgeous on your red couch.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Wow!!! Gorgerous quilting! Love that baby Swoon!
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilts! I love the swoon and made a tiny block on retreat. Hope to make more larger blocks soon!
ReplyDeleteThelma, both these quilts are absolutely gorgeous! The colors and fabric choices are wonderful. And yes, the machine quilting is remarkable. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Thelma. I'm blushing.
ReplyDeleteSwoon-a-lishous! Both quilts are wonderful, from the fabric selection, to the piecing, to the quilting.
ReplyDeleteShe is absolutely the best. Her work combined with yours is simply more than I can compliment adequately. I saw your quilts on her blog, and I swooned!
ReplyDeleteI hope the baby swoon is coming to my house. I love it. I would even consider having a baby to get it. Lol.
ReplyDeleteThelma,
ReplyDeleteI just posted as anonymous because that is the only way I could get it to post.

Your quilt looks fabulous. French General is one of my favourites too and I just love Linda's quilting, she inspires me to try FMQ, but I am no way as good as her though!
ReplyDeleteI saw these on Linda's blog. Amazing!!!
