Doll's Quilt


Loaded a small Twister quilt that I made to test out the Twister pattern that I thought would make a good doll's quilt for the granddaughter. 


Used the Urban Elementz pantograph Animal Crackers with a lime green Metro thread on the front and white Fil-Tec thread on the back.


With using a piece of flannel for a thin batting I was not sure that I would be able to balance the stitches but didn't even have to make any adjustments and it stitched perfectly!!!  I love, love, love my AQPS Millennium machine.


No lime green peaking through on the back.


No white peaking through on the front.  It just doesn't get any better than this!

Pantograph

Loaded a new quilt top and thought I would try a pantograph on this one.


Using Quilters Dream Select Poly, maroon Metro poly thread and Urban Elementz pantograph Alfresco, which is a cute little daisy like flower with a leaf.


Here is another amusing picture of one of my dogs.  She is sound a sleep, 20 toes up!!  I have to give her credit, she can make you laugh!

Twirls

Here is the latest quilt top.  I'm calling it Twirls.  When I made this quilt top I had the idea of fun, kid fabric with the thought of giving it to my granddaughter.


I think it is a bright, fun looking quilt top.  Quilting it using the Cosmos pattern with Quilters Dream Deluxe Poly.


I am using Linda Taylors Spearmint thread which glows in the dark!!  Check it out.  Now how cool is that!!

Latest

Finally finished binding the first two experiment quilts.  Finished the quilting on my "Cog" quilt.  I thought that it came out quite nice.


The back shows the texture quite nicely.


The latest top that I am quilting is a king size, 110 x 110.  This one will be getting used as soon as it gets done.  I told my husband that I was going to make a quilt big enough that even I couldn't hog it all!


Using the Cosmos pattern with a cream thread and the medium weight cotton Quilters Dream batting.  I am quite pleased with how it is looking.  


And just for amusement here is a picture of my Newfoundland and my Chihuahua mix.  I'm not sure how the little one wedged herself behind the Newfoundland but they are the bestest of buds and sleep together quite frequently.
