Jackie's grandmother's fan

Jackie's grandmother's fan was quilted with the pantograph Alfresco, and the quilting shows up well against the solid/small print fabrics using a higher loft batting.

Ann's batik lap quilt

This is the lap version of Ann's wall quilt.  Much more open quilting.  The flowers in the circles have no pebbling and the vertical and horizontal background lines are 1" apart instead of 1/2".  Now she can cuddle up with this one while she gazes at its mate on the wall.

Jennie's Scrap Jewel Box

Isn't this gorgeous!  I LOVE scrap quilts!  And it's always entertaining to quilt them, because I think to myself "Hey, I have that fabric . . . and that one . . . and that one!"  I love the flange and how it separates the central part of the quilt from the inner border.  This quilt definitely deserved the custom quilting it received.

Jennie's Bling Thing

This was made from 2.5" strips.  I love scrap quilts, and Jennie did a great job piecing this.  It's quilted with a beautiful King Tut variegated thread in a freehand paisley/teardrop design.

Jennie's Cheese and Crackers

I think this is the first top I quilted for Jennie.  This bright fresh quilt is from an Atkinson pattern "Cheese and Crackers".  It's quilted with a simple freehand loop design.
