Boutique Quilt Number 2


This was a cute little quilt that I quilted for the boutique at our upcoming show.  It had the Holiday fabric so I used the holly berry pattern and love the way it turned out.  The small greenish border and the backing were a knit fabric, so I didn't trim it up after I finished it like I usually do.  I suggested binding it first and then trimming it, because if you trim it before hand, that knit fabric will curl up and make putting on the binding a real pain.

Our Independence Hall Quilters show is this weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) at Ironstone Vineyards in Murphys.  Come by and check it out!  There will be some great vendors this year, and some beautiful artwork and this boutique quilt will be for sale!

Binding Project Number 4 and 5

Two more binding projects from mom!  These are also from the fiber artist lives in San Francisco.  She definitely has a specific style and mom is quilting them all with straight lines.  She wants them all with the art quilt binding as well.  She is apparently going to have a show soon with these pieces.

I love her use of color

This one looks like the forest



Love the look of the binding fabric with the backing fabric on this piece.

And mom gave me another quilt from this woman to bind just today!
