CRAZY 4 ORANGE

This is the second orange baby I have quilted....love, love, love this quilt!!!
I love the simple hourglass block...
I love the color orange...
I love the Spring Fling panto by Patricia E.Ritter so much that I quilted  them exactly the same!
I saw an orange and white quilt in a photo last year and instantly fell in love....decided to make it for my annual MS quilt raffle...it was well loved and raised over $1000 for the  2010 MS walk at the Husky Stadium in Seattle.
My sister Susan also fell in love so I shared some of my oranges but we also had fun shopping for more....it is hard to stop shopping because orange fabric makes you so happy. My friends Kay, Jenny and Barbara also made beautiful orange quilts....Barbara made a queensize quilt with teeny blocks, a friend of hers at Curves  loved it so much that Barbara sold it to her ... she says she will make another!
You can check out Kay and Jenny's here     http://quiltstudiohappenings.blogspot.com/2010/09/lucy-in-sky-with-diamonds.html

Melissa's Quilt

Fourteen year old  Melisssa did an awesome job making her first quilt with a fun pattern and mostly Riley Blake fabric ...She completed this quilt with a bit of help from her Mom { who has caught the quilting bug too} and her gramma who is a quilter. First of all I LOVE that Mellissa is sewing at her age but it is even more special to see three generations of women in her family quilting and inspiring each other .....I used Dancing Daisy panto by Timeless Treasure Designs for Melissa's quilt....this is a favorite of mine, used many times and I am always happy with the end result.



Baby quilt for Ava

Elizabeth made this sweet baby quilt for Ava with  Moda pinks and browns.....I quilted it with a new panto by Anne Bright called Chickadees. The quilting is very subtle but it is so sweet to have the happy little birds flying all over .
