Joyce W. created this fabulous quilt using a t-shirt as the center block. What a beautiful two-color quilt. So calm, so striking! The quilt will be donated to an upcoming auction for the school, so hopefully it goes for big bucks!

Happy quilting!

Feathered Star Quilt

Wanda did this fabulous red and white feathered star quilt after taking a class from Marsha McCloskey. Two color quilts are so striking, I just love them! And Wanda did an amazing job piecing this quilt…so straight, so flat! Using thread color that matched as closely as possible, the feathers and feather-like (my new term!) border patters I think really make this look fun.  The stitch ‘n the ditch sets off each border, and the “P” in the middle of the star is a nod to their family surname (no hints here, eh?). I believe this is a gift, so hopefully the recipient will treasure it!

Happy quilting!

Pinwheel Baby Quilt

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

A sophisticated baby quilt for a new mom and dad (and dog)! This beauty was made by the Lowell Pine Needlers for their very own member, Marlene, who is expecting soon. What a lucky baby!

Feathers are placed only in the white areas of the pinwheels to really set off the visual pinwheel movement. Then a rope pattern was added in the sashing areas which adds to the simple, sophisticated palate, being that it has a similar density and flow.

Good luck with the baby Marlene! And happy quilting.
