Trees quilt

I have wanted to make this quilt since I saw it on an issue of the now out of business, Quiltmania magazine. Thanks to some amazing Kafee Fasset's fabrics from a sweet friend "collection", I was able to make the top. Now, ready to quilt. I am so happy! The hand dyed fabrics for the trunks are also from a friend that used to have a business selling hand dyed fabrics. I am so lucky to have some amazing friends. The pattern name is "Painted Forest" by Scott Hansen of the Blue Nickel Studios.

A beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Pick a Petal Quilt

The top is fresh out of my sewing machine. This is a snap shot of a real day in the studio. The quilt top is not even ironed yet. I think I need a little break from it now. I will iron it later and clean the huge amount of threads from the back. It is a pet peeve of mine. The new fabrics are so loose woven that it creates a pile of threads in every cut edge. So not happy with the new industry standard.
