Three-dimensional turtles.

Janet Perry: turtles

Janet wanted something “summery and fun” to finish off this project. I chose shells, waves, and coral. It looks amazing!

Carol Marshall

The Bears love this beautiful, 74" x 85" quilt with minkee backing. The flower theme was carried over onto the backing, and the end result is simply beautiful. Don’t be afraid to consider minkee for any size quilt.

This round quilt is stunning! Bargello techniques make this butterfly move! Lots of SID and background fill.

Celeste Lestienne, Thimble Pleasures, Carrboro NC

Celeste chose a thick wool batting for this quilt she made for her daughter Annie. The wool gives a beautiful, lofty look and feel. Thimble Pleasures carries a variety of batting choices including wool, silk and bamboo. Don’t be afraid to try something new!

Twing Pitmann, Chapel Hill NC

Twing designed this quilt for her son and his family. It is a “map” of the tropical field station they run in Amazonian, Peru. Hundreds of appliquéd pieces were constructed from feed sacks that are used to deliver food supplies.

Twing’s version of this Blooming 9 patch is outstanding! Appliquéd Butterflies were flying randomly over the quilt.

Twing Pitmann: Blooming 9 patch

The butterfly and name were all paper-pieced. Lots of SID and custom detail makes this a very special quilt for a lucky little girl. I’m sure she will cherish it forever.
