Summer of 2015 is pretty much over now . . . you may think that I've not been very busy, but in reality, this has been a whirlwind summer. We were spending two weeks each month in beautiful Kimberley, BC - which gave me plenty of time to piece quilts of my own, but limited the time I could spend with Freeda and customer quilts. But, looking back at all my photos, I really did get quite a bit done. Let's start with the month of June . . .
I am trying to do one "custom" quilt per month (well, actually this summer it's been per 2 weeks!) - so in June, the custom quilt was Bonnie's Double Wedding Ring (last post).
Jill's baby quilt - such cute fabrics!! This was quilted using freehand 3s and es - a simple pattern but so practical on a baby quilt that's going to be washed, dragged around and cuddled in. Glide Thread

My customer, Alice, was busy again! She put together this gorgeous mix of pastel batiks in a quilt for her granddaughter. Dragonfly pond panto; glide thread; Hobbs 80/20 batting

and another Grandma hard at work - this is Julie's Dr. Seuss quilt that she made for her grandson. I love the polka dot fabric she used for the sashing! This was quilted using a variety of freehand designs - I just 'winged' it and quilted each block differently and bubble sand swirls in the sashings. I never get tired of Dr. Seuss!!
Gale's quilt is for a wedding gift - lucky couple! I quilted one just like it for her a couple of years ago - you can see that one here. The appliqued flowers look great on the black and white background. I stitched around each of the appliques, and then freehand swirls in the rest.
Louise's also made a quilt as a wedding gift - this one is made from a the Downton Abbey Collection of fabrics - such great colors!!! Glide Thread; Antique Lace panto; Hobbs 80/20 batting.

Quilters are very generous . . . . another grandson quilt - this time made by Jean. It's a monster truck panel, so we went with the Bauhaus panto - great choice as it kind of looks like roadways. Glide thread; Hobbs 80/20 batting.

..... and last, but not least, another one of Jean's quilts - this time for her granddaughter. It's a fairy princess type fabric - simple design using a 16 patch block - really cute! Dragonfly Pond panto, Glide Thread; Hobbs 80/20 batting.

Well, that pretty much takes care of the month of June . . . July's up next! Happy Quilting from the Little House
