Cinderella Quilt
Stitched a really sweet Cinderella baby quilt this weekend. I used the magical wind swirls pattern. I'm sure this will be treasured by the lucky little lady!

County Fair Project!
Congratulations McKenzie on winning a blue ribbon at the Jackson Co. 4- H Fair. She did a great job sewing her colorful top, backed it with a purple batik and chose "Jill's Bubbles" in neon orange to quilt her project. Thanks for letting me quilt for you!

Abstract Quilting
Quilting thoughts by Carolyn!!
When I finished the piecing for this quilt, I saw the quilt as abstract. I saw straight lines and curves. I also wanted the flower block to appear 3-D so I quilted the corners with a tight circle fill and left the rest of the block without quilting. The gray blocks were quilted point to point using a maize pattern which is straight lines using cool gray thread. The blocks with orange centers were stitched using a neon thread using a straight square on a square. The outer border was quilted using a Viking purple with a Greek corner border pattern. The second border was double loops using cranberry thread. Finally, the last border was continual circles using totem green thread.

And the Handkerchief Quilt is Finished!
Remember when I mentioned the baby quilt that I was making for my friend?
The quilt has been finished and my friend was thrilled with the results. Do you have any family heirlooms that you would love to incorporate into a project?
