Wiltshire Daisy Quilt

Finished Quilt Size: 55″ by 60″

It’s time to share the results of my Wiltshire Daisy Quilt! I am so thrilled to have finally completed this project and I snapped a few photos before I sent it on its way to its new owner, a little 15-month old girl.  This was a custom quilt order, using designer fabrics from Riley Blake Designs new fabric line called Wiltshire Daisy.  The little girl’s mother loved my Rosey Triangle Quilt, and wanted her custom quilt to look like it.

So once we finished, we were off to the park for the photo shoot!  I had my favorite little helper with me.
It’s like a natural instinct for him to want to lay on the quilts immediately.  My cat does the same thing too.  Why do they just assume I make these quilts for them?

I like how the sun, is softly shining through the back of the quilt.  As if I had just hung it out to dry after a wash and I have to take it into my cottage before dark.  Because that’s what countryside people do, right?  How I wish I lived in the country!  Until then, I shall make do with my local park and imagination.

Here’s an image of the backing, called Wiltshire Petals Pink.  Lots of little pink roses.  So soft and feminine.  Perfect for a little girl.

Here’s the binding I picked out.  It’s called Wiltshire Main Aqua.  It’s so fresh looking.  Minty freshness with bright flowers!  I love it!

It’s all folded up and ready to be shipped!  I gave it a good hug before I packed it into the box.  It’s always hard to let go of my quilts.  We spend so much time together in the making.

This project was so much fun and I hope I receive more custom orders.  I really enjoy the designing and creative process that goes into making these quilts.  If you are interested in a custom quilt for you or to give as a gift to someone special, don’t hesitate to contact me.  Let’s design one together!

Thanks for stopping in today!  Until next time!

Cat Face Quilt

Finished Quilt Size: 36″ by 40″

I’m finally finished with my Cat Face Quilt for my little cousin, Quinton!  I don’t know how it took me almost three weeks but it did!  Ideally, I would like to quilt every day for at least a few hours.  It was my goal, actually.  But reality took a big bite out of that plan.  My schedule is so jammed pack with all my son’s classes and home study, and on top of that, I have to feed and bathe him on a daily basis!  He’s taking up all of my quilting time!  So really, I get to quilt about a couple of hours every other day… or so.  I suppose that’s enough time as long as quilts get finished, eventually.  I suppose… Logi needs to remain my top priority ;-)

So the Cat Face Quilt is ready just in time for Quinton’s 2nd birthday party, which is this weekend.  Get a look at his cute little face here.The photo is almost a year old.  I hope I can get a nice updated photo of him at the party.

Here are more photos of the finished Cat Face Quilt. Poofs wanted to get in on the quilt photo shoot action.  I could never say no to him.  Plus, he makes a nice photo prop for my Cat Face Quilt.
Some scrappy binding made of the remaining cat face fabric pieces.

Here’s one shot of the pretty quilt backing.

I love these little cat faces.  I hope Quinton will too.

So up to this point, I’ve been doing a lot of straight-line quilting.  In my next quilt, I dare venture into the world of free-motion quilting.  I’ve ordered a darning foot for my little sewing machine and once it arrives, I’m going to start exploring this new world.  With focus and determination, I’m going to teach myself to free-hand my quilts and I’m going to like it!  Keep you posted on my progress!
