Lisa’s Fall Breeze Quilt

Love this amazing quilt I got to quilt for Lisa at the end of last year.

The pattern is by Vanessa from V&Co and is called Fall Breeze. Go to: https://vanessachristenson.com/product/fall-breeze-ombre-quilt-pdf-pattern/

I love the chambray grey background fabric, Vanessa’s ombré fabrics shine!!!

I used Patricia Ritter and my Breeze panto design, which turned out so great!!! The leaves look like they’re swirling around in the wind. Breeze is available at Urban Elementz, go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/breeze.html

I used a grey Omni thread from Superior Threads and bamboo batting from Winline Textiles. Their bamboo is divine!

I love the quilting texture in all of that negative space.

Lisa used a brushed flannel for the backing, and it was so cozy when it was done.

Jeanenne’s Throw Quilt

When quilting texture looks sooo good on a quilt, my heart is so happy!

Jeanenne made this beautiful throw quilt, unfortunately I don’t know the name of the pattern.

I used my favorite Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads, and my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

What I love most about this quilt…is our Taj Mahal Echoed panto design, which is available at Urban Elementz. I can’t wait to put this design on another quilt, it quilts out beautifully.

Look at that texture, it’s just sooo good.

The quilting adds so much texture, so I try to pick something that will enhance the overall design.

Some more close ups…

Look how perfect that quilt backing is!! Jeanenne didn’t have a backing fabric, so I found this perfect one in my mom and aunts online fabric shop Sisters and Quilters.

Are you looking to get one of your quilts quilted? Check out my edge to edge quilting spots available on my calendar. Thank you!! Happy New Year!

LeAnn’s Rose Garden Runner

I have a darling table runner to share with you today!!

LeAnn made this Rose Garden Runner from a kit available at My Girlfriends Quilt Shoppe. The pattern and Market Street fabrics are both by Heather Peterson from Anika’s Treasures.

I was going to quilt it with yellow thread, but didn’t love it, so I swapped it for a cream Omni thread from Superior Threads. I also used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

I gave LeAnn a few options, and she chose my Beaded Orange Peel, which I love!! It turned out so perfect for this particular runner. Beaded Orange Peel is available in my shop.

I love how the circles within the panto design adds interest to the traditional orange peel design.

If panto designs that touch scare you. Here is a link to a video of what I do when I quilt pantos. I hope it helps.

This cheerful runner has me dreaming of spring already!! How about you?!?!

Ashley’s Star Sampler Quilt

I have a little down time while we are camping, so I thought I would share Ashley’s beautiful quilt!

Ashley made this gorgeous star sampler quilt with Camille from Thimble Blossoms Nantucket Summer fabric line. Isn’t it beautiful?!?! I’m making a Swoon 16 with this same fabric line, it’s such a beautiful line.

I used my favorite Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads and a cotton poly blend batting the Ashley sent along with her quilt.

I wish you could each see this one in person, pictures never do a quilt justice.

Ashley chose my Wicker quilting design, and I am beyond thrilled with the outcome. Wicker is available in my shop, in several different digital formats.

Do you have a quilt that you’d like me to quilt Wicker on? Look at my schedule and signup for a day.

This quilty texture is so great on a variety of different quilts.

Thanks for stopping by, have a happy quilty day! Leisha

Debbie’s Star Struck Quilt

Isn’t this a stunning quilt?!?!!! Debbie and her mom Marilyn have been working on several quilts lately, and this is one of them. Marilyn is in her 90’s, which has me hoping I’m sewing into my 90’s too.

This one came in a kit called Star Struck, which is no longer available. The pattern had three different layouts in it, and it’s called Floating Star by Stitch and Snip.

I used my favorite Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads…which I think blends beautifully over all the dark saturated fabrics, and 8020 cotton poly comfort blend batting from Winline Textiles.

Debbie chose Patricia Ritter and my Horizon quilting design, which added some beautiful texture!! Horizon is available at Urban Elementz. We designed this design years ago, and I’m finally using it. It stitched out beautifully!!

The variety of batik fabrics together is so stunning!!

Another view…

If you’re looking to get some of your quilts professionally machine quilted, schedule a time on my calendar. I’d love to quilt for you!!!

Thanks for stopping by!! Happy quilting! Leisha

June’s Florence Flamingo Quilt

Have you ever seen a Florence Flamingo quilt that you didn’t love??? I haven’t.

June made this Florence Flamingo quilt, a pattern by Elizabeth Hartman, and she did a beautiful job.

The background fabric is a peachy tan color, which is perfect behind all the pops of colors.

June chose Tahitian Pearl, which is one of Patricia Ritter and my panto designs, for the quilting. Tahitian Pearl is available at Urban Elementz. I love the soft swirls and circles that dance across the quilt.

I used a cream Omni thread from Superior Threads and my favorite 8020 comfort blend batting from Winline Textiles.

Which flamingo is your favorite? Mine is probably the hot pink one in the center on the top row.

Alisha’s simple wedding quilt

Sometimes we can make quilts that are so simple, yet cool at the same time.

I served in the young women’s organization in my congregation for 4.5 years…and I miss it. Those girls who were 12 and 13 when I started are now graduated from high school and doing wonderful things. One of them recently got married. One of the leaders of the women’s organization in the same congregation, called me recently asking if I could give them some tips about tying a quilt for her. I’ve tied a couple quilts, but I obviously prefer machine quilting. I offered to quilt some fabric instead, and then the women to sit together and bind instead of tie. We found this fun Moda modern background paper fabric, made a couple of horizontal seams and then I quilted it.

I used my Domestic Stitches - Triangles quilting design to quilt it, which is available in my shop. I love how the design looks on this simple modern dashed fabric.

Because there was enough backing, and also to give it a little pop of color…yep, I’m going to call grey a color, it was bound with the backing fabric.

I used natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 comfort blend batting from Winline Textiles.

Don’t you think those fabrics are so great together?!?! I do!

This quilty texture is simple, but makes my heart happy.
