Lisa’s Take Heart Quilt
How sweet is this quilt?!?! It’s almost like a log cabin block.
The pattern is called Take Heart by Modern Domestic, and it’s free!! Go here for all the details: https://moderndomesticpdx.com/free-take-heart-quilt-block-pattern/
Lisa paired the heart block with a solid square every other block to spread out the heart blocks, which I love!!
I suggest Patricia Ritter and my Cupid panto design for the quilting, and Lisa said yes!! I love the soft swirly curves with the hearts and all the negative space.
Cupid is available at Urban Elementz, go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/cupid.html
I used a light grey Omni thread from Superior Threads. Omni is my favorite, my machine stitches beautifully with it.
I used 4oz bamboo batting, which is Lisa’s favorite. I can see why, bamboo is soft and cuddly, as well as eco friendly and the fold lines aren’t as prominent as they are with cotton or 8020 batting.
Close up!
The Cupid texture is sooo good, but wait…
Can you see the pink minky backing???
Whenever my clients want minky to back their quilts with, I hope is the solid minky. Who needs added texture from the minky when the quilting does a beautiful job!!! It’s one of my favorite things to see the quilty texture in the soft cuddly minky.
Look at all that goodness!!

Happy Quilting!! Leisha
Barbara’s Mystery Quilt
Hello,
I hope that you have had a great week!! It’s been a snowy day here. If you like where it snows, do you spend time sewing? Snow day = sew day? I didn’t sew…I was hoping to get started on another amazing client quilt. I will tomorrow! Hope you were able to sew.
This amazing quilt was made by Barbara!! It is a Mystery Quilt from Under the Garden Moon by Amy McClellan. Village Dry Goods in Brigham City Utah put together. It looks like they may have gathered blocks from several of Amy’s patterns to put this together. If you’re interested in more information, I linked the website above for Village Dry Goods. Their number is listed at the top of their website.
I love the mix of applique with the sewn blocks!!
We decided on my Sweet Orange Peel design for the quilting, and I love how it turned out. Sweet and traditional on this lovely quilt! Sweet Orange Peel is available in my shop. I believe I quilted this one around a 3” height. It is recommended anywhere from 3“-4”.
I used my favorite Winline 8020 batting and a light cream thread.
There are designs that are so versatile, and this is one of them. I have seen it on so many different kinds of quilts!! It can look traditional like it does here, or modern on a more modern quilt pattern. I love it when I create something that has such great quilty texture!!!
This was a quick one, thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!!
