Quilt cake!

About a year ago, I finished up this Urban Pods quilt by Sew Kind Of Wonderful.

Today daughter, Sarah, surprised me with a birthday cake. See, she's an extremely talented cake maker. She can make anything she sets her mind to. And she set her mind to making this quilt into a cake.

Isn't it amazing?!

Thank you Sarah! It's the best cake I ever had. And it tastes delicious too!

Carol's Gaslight quilt

At 2014 Quilt Market, local designer Jessica VanDenburgh debuted a new line of beautiful, modern patterns. Her Gaslight pattern is one of my favorites.

 

This beautiful quilt was made by Carol. I *love* the colors she chose. When I first saw this quilt, I knew I wanted to put some sort of design behind all the gaslights. I drew all sorts of shapes before Carol and I settled on this tile effect. Jessica thinks it looks Morrocan.

 

I found a path that let me do all the tiles between a line of gaslights in one fell swoop. Added some feathers and pebbles to the gaslights and it's done. I hope to make this quilt one day, so thanks for letting me practice on your quilt Carol!

Paula's quilts

This beautiful quilt was made by Paula to commemorate a Hawaiian vacation. Paula's an expert on stack and whack method of making quilts so she used this on some Hawaiian fabric. She wanted a pantograph which was reminiscent of a plumeria. I think her choice is perfect!

Paula and her husband Ron are also sailors. She made a quilt to use at her camp where they often go sailing. She wanted boats stitched on the top so I tried to make the boats floating on water.

Such fun working on Paula's quilts!
