Linda did a fabulous job picking fabrics and machine appliqueing this sweet baby quilt that she made for Thomas, her first grandchild. The pattern is called Critter Caboodle by Linda Hohag from Brandywine Design.
She asked for custom quilting and I started with a feather curl design in the outer border and curls in the inner border/sashing. I then SID around all the applique, added a stipple in the grass on each block and swirls/meander/loops/clouds in the backgrounds.
I used 6 different Bottom Line 60wt thread colours on the top and bottom and Quilters Dream Blend batting.
What a beautiful gift from Grandma to Grandchild!
So sweet. Lucky Thomas. Great job, Linda and Kathy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a labour of love! So gorgeous! And you did a great job quilting with the quilting, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteYou do such fabulous free-hand quilting. It is a shame more clients don't ask for custom so we could see more of it. Well done!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! Super quilt and super quilting!
ReplyDeleteBoth of you did a great job! A treasure for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling quilt! And your quilting is a perfect complement!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute quilt! I can certainly appreciate all the work gone into the applique. Your quilting really enhances each block.
