These are the Valentine's Day projects that I finished back at the end of January. The first one is a table runner that I did from a free class last fall. It is called 4 Hearts for Valentine's. Originally the applique between the heart blocks was supposed to be holly berries and leaves for Christmas, but I decided I would add roses and make it for Valentine's Day. All of the free motion/ ruler work quilting was done with my Qnique 15 Pro that I have on a quilt frame, while the machine applique was stitched down using a regular sewing machine. The quilting design that I did in both the half and quarter square triangles is my very own.
The second Valentine project was from a free Moda Fabrics pattern. Instead of turning it into a table runner, I decided I would create a (4) block wallhanging and add borders to it. All of the free motion and ruler work quilting was by my Qnique 15 Pro that I have on a Q-Zone Hoop Frame.
Happy Quilting. Hugs Kathryn

This is my most recent quilt that I finished last month. It was a free pattern from Alderwood Studios. This is the largest quilt project I have quilted on my quilt frame. The entire free motion/ ruler work quilting in the center of the quilt along with the ruler work in the outer border is my very own designs. I made a few mistakes in the quilting, but with more practice I'm getting better at it. After I finished taking pictures of the quilt, my cat Toby decided he really liked it and took a nap on it for a little while. Both him and my other cat Wendy are my sewing/quilting fur babies.
Happy Quilting. Hugs Kathryn

Those are lovely - way to go, Kathryn! I love the blue one especially - although there's a lot going on, I find it a very calming pattern. :-)

The blue one is my favorite and clearly has your fur baby's stamp of approval. Great job.

Thank you all for your lovely comments on my two quilt finishes. Been busy this past week finishing up two cloth dolls for Halloween ( we each made a Dearly Departed doll from an Arley Berryhill pattern) along with starting on the rest of my fall cleaning so I can put up our Fall/Halloween decorations. Yesterday took a break from the fall cleaning, and started working on one of my applique quilt ufos. Happy Quilting. Hugs Kathryn

I finished a couple more quilts this month. I've been working on the one with vintage hankies since the winter. The scrappy rainbow log cabin I made over a week after our town had a terrible flood. We live uphill from the flooded area so we weren't directly affected. I was burning nervous energy anyway. I put the bindings on both yesterday and took two (blurry) pictures.
