Agnes' Past and Present

This is the most recent top I quilted for Agnes--another great batik scrap quilt.  I love how the royal blue pops out.  This one is quilted with the pantograph Feathered Curls by Jodi Beamish.

Agnes' scrappy half square triangles

Not batiks, but still loving the scraps!  A nice mix of fabrics + a great use of value = a scrap quilt that makes you just want to crawl up underneath it!   This one was quilted with the Willow Leaf Studio pantograph Joust.

Agnes' Marakesh bazaar

The next top I quilted for Agnes is this Marakesh Bazaar.  She made the sampler blocks at our local quilt shop, Pieceful Quilting.  The setting was her own design.  I think she did a great job setting so many different blocks, containing so many different fabrics.  It's quilted with the Jodi Beamish pantograph, Waterworld.

Agnes' Zen batik wallhanging

This wallhanging is the first top I quilted for Agnes.  I love scrap quilts and I love batiks, so it just doesn't get any better than this.  Agnes suggested the freehand water quilting design and it goes perfectly with this quilt.

Ann's Oceanica lap quilt

Ann made this for her friend.  I freehand quilted a water design in the center and the outer border, and did some ruler work in the inner border.

Diane's "Wheels" quilt

Diane made this quilt for her grandson, who loves wheels.  The primary borders surround fabrics with wheels--cars, trains, tractors, bulldozers, race cars, tractor trailers, etc.  It's quilted with freehand loops in a primary variegated thread.

Aren't these wheels cool??
