Bowl of Cherries Cutie Quilt featuring My Little Sunshine 2 Fabrics

This quilt is even sweeter than I thought it would be!



The light showed the machine quilting, so that was great.  The fabric, however, isn't shown to its full effect.  And there was a tree shadow (darn trees!).

Cherry Guidry designed My Little Sunshine 2 fabric line and it's absolutely ADORABLE!


I have kits for the Bowl of Cherries quilt, Cutie Packs (16 fat eighth), and fat quarters of this line in my shop.

Machine quilting this quilt was so much fun!  I quilted ribbon candy in the white strip used that as the spine for elongated free-motion feathers in the rest of the block:


My sweet Handi Quilter Stitch 710 handled this quilt like a champ.



The WonderFil Konfetti thread with a DecoBob bobbin also performed without a single frustration.  I am currently running a special on this thread combination (save $5 when you buy both spools together).

I simply meandered over the bicycle border because the print was the star of the show.


I'm currently teaching free-motion quilting online in my Quilting Essentials: First Steps to Free-Motion Quilting class.  By popular request, I will be teaching a Quilting Essentials: Free-Motion Feathers class soon!  Sign up for my newsletter so you won't miss any new class announcements.

Electric Blue A La Moda

My  A La Mode Cutie Pattern  looks great in every color combination I've tried, and I've tried MANY! Kits for this quilt  are on sale so you can make one (or a dozen), too! I love black and white fabrics, and I also love experimenting to see how they play off different background colors. Hot aqua, anyone? I decided to go with my favorite ribbon candy quilting on this quilt, because I quilted this when I needed some extra fun in my life (meaning, any time in 2020).  I teach how to stitch Ribbon Candy  in my  First Steps to Free-Motion Quilting online class , both free-motion, and using a stencil. This quilt is awaiting its forever home.  I'm sure it will be loved wherever it eventually lives.

 Scott from 4th and Main Designs tempted me beyond my ability to resist and I just had to make his Tuscan Vintage quilt . It was a perfect "I don't feel well" remedy and I enjoyed piecing and quilting it. I filmed as I quilted this quilt, so watch and see the loveliness unfold! If you want to support two designers at once, use Scott's link to buy my Quilting Essentials: First Steps to Free-Motion Quilting class!

A La Mode for Baby

My  A La Mode Cutie Pattern  is my go-to giveaway quilt. Kits for this quilt  are on sale so you can make one (or a dozen), too! One of my "quilt crushes" is on Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet.  I have most of her books (and fabrics, and templates, and notions, and...).  So when I found this fabric, I needed to have it ALL! I decided to go with my favorite ribbon candy quilting on this quilt.  I teach how to stitch Ribbon Candy  in my  First Steps to Free-Motion Quilting online class , both free-motion, and using a stencil. This quilt has already been gifted to a new baby.   I hope it will be spit up on, dragged, abused, and loved for years to come. I only quilted in the background and left the beautiful fabrics to SHINE!
