I quilted continuous curves in the nine-patch squares, swirls in the border, and meandering around the puppies and kitties. The batting was Hobbs 80/20 bleached. Thread was SoFine white top and bottom.

Sweet 1930's inspired baby quilt
This cute little quilt was made from 30's inspired reproduction fabrics. Isn't it cheerful?!

Christmas stars table runner
This fun table runner was the direct result of me browsing Pinterest (a great resource for all things creative.) I saw something similar and loved the pattern and the cheerful colors, but there was only a link to a photo, no pattern or resources. So what is a girl to do? Just wing it and make your own, of course!
I didn't do any math or even make a formal plan. I just started cutting up fabric and sewing it together, and this was the result. I love how it came together.
I used Glide super white on the top and So Fine white in the bobbin. Batting was Hobbs bleached 80/20. I put a snowflake in each of the white squares, continuous curves with a swirl in the star points, pumpkin seeds in the center squares, and continuous curves throughout the squares in the border.
If you have already found Pinterest, you know what a fun resource it can be. If not, BEWARE, it is very addicting. It is a virtual pin board where you can archive absolutely anything you may come across while surfing the web. There is a red Pinterest button in the right column where you can check out all of my boards and set up your own account if you choose. I have many boards, most of which are quilting related. I use it regularly to find inspiration and ideas, as well a tuck away projects and recipes I hope to get to someday. Hope to see you there!

Traditional Sampler
I quilted this sampler back in October. It, too, fell into the vacuum of blog posts whose time never quite came around... until now!
I just love the antique-looking color palette of blues, browns, golds and reds in this traditional quilt. Thread was So Fine Straw top and bottom, and batting was Hobbs 80/20. Being a sampler, each block got its own custom treatment. I used continuous curves throughout the star points, piano keys along the outer borders, and a unifying motif in each of the quarter-square triangles. (Excuse the chalk markings in some of the photos.)
