I've been working on finishing up a few UFOs (first two photos). I also made a cute little butterfly lap quilt with some friends for a very dear girlfriend who has cancer, and finally a teddy bear quilt for my newest great, great niece! Sorry there are so many photos, but wanted to show the details on a couple of them. Enjoy!

Wow I love them all! I especially love the butterfly quilt. The colors are beautiful, but the thought and time you put into making it for your friend is priceless! I pray that she is better soon. Kathy

Your quilts are wonderful! Your quilting is super. I sure hope you have a long arm machine because my FMQ will never look that good on my domestic sewing machine. Teddy is adorable is it embroidered?

All of them are superb!! Such great fabric combinations. I always keep thinking of how far we've come from our grandmothers' feed sacks! Isn't it so gratifying to work on something so beautiful!

Only first three showed up, others just had a red x. They are beautiful.

I should have mentioned that the only one I quilted was the teddy bear quilt. The others were sent out for quilting.

Yes - the teddy bears are hand embroidered.

Thank you - she is a precious friend and her prognosis is not good. She will get to enjoy the love and prayers that went into making this, and I think some day it will also be a beautiful baby quilt for a future granddaughter.

I love them all too. The quilting on the first one is exquisite, the teddy bear one is adorable, and the butterfly one is awesome.

Your quilts are all beautiful but the first one is especially stunning.

rose2 05-23-2012 07:32 AM

Your friend will be so touched when she gets the butterfly quilt, that is so dear of you to make that. Would you be so kind as to share where we could find the butterfly quilt pattern.

I bought the pattern from Clotilde. The name is Catch Me If You Can. www.clotilde.com/detail.html?prod_id=16584

Thank you - I took the Eleanor Burns Quilt in a Day Lone Star class. I was fairly new to quilting at that time, but always loved the way this one turned out. The quilting just made it come alive.

What I love so much about quilters is how they are such encouraging people. Thank you all for your kind comments!

"lots of pictures" is a Good Thing! they are all beautiful; matching the teddy bears with bear's paw blocks is great!!

rosebud23323 05-23-2012 11:12 AM

oh wow! they are all beautiful~My SM would love the butterfly quilt,she just loves them,could I ask you what
pattern you used for that?

Rock Lady 05-23-2012 11:15 AM

They are all beautiful. I especially like the teddy bear quilt.

cjackaitlin 05-23-2012 11:17 AM

All are beautiful, love the quilting. Do you quilt your own? Thanks for sharing.

lollygagging 05-23-2012 11:42 AM

WoW! Three out of four are blue...hummm- I love each one for their own characteristics. I love the rhyme with the teddy bear quilt, the star is gorgeous, the soft tan and blues are so warm and welcoming, but my favorite is the butterfly quilt. Adding the darker blue butterflies makes that entire quilt. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing.

sewmorethings 05-23-2012 01:17 PM

Allyour quilts are beautiful, i admire your thoughtfulness

ccb2200 05-23-2012 01:38 PM

Love all of your quilts. The baby quilt is really cute.

Helen S 05-23-2012 01:49 PM

Goodness...You've been busy! They are all fantastic. The teddy bears are just adorable and love the butterflies and their background.

It's not hard to be encouraging when we're looking at such great quilts! Awesome!

psumom 05-23-2012 04:32 PM

I love all the quilts! I just finished a quilt top with redwork embroidered Santas alternating between Star blocks. I can't decide how to quilt it. Some of my friends tell me to quilt right over the redwork. I hesitate to do that, but I feel the blocks (12 inch) need some type of quilting. What did you do on Teddy Bear quilt?

Quilt Novice 05-23-2012 04:55 PM

Wow beautiful all around!

Special quilts! I confess most posts that take so long to download photos get skipped by me. Your's is worth the wait; fantastic quilts!

M.I.Late 05-23-2012 06:07 PM

Beautiful quilting on the first one. Nice job!
