Cutting Table Ideal for Kirsten's Quilting Needs

 


Spring is in the air, and Kirsten means business.  She has her apron on and her hair pulled back.  She has been whacking up fabric all day!  We will have to check back with her, because she is in the middle of cutting it up on her new cutting table.

Red, White, and Blue Quilt for Phyllis

Special red, white, and blue quilt for friend, Phyllis. Has one block with that Abraham Lincoln fabric, to celebrate President's Day. The outer border is some fun fabric with measure tape people running with needles and wearing thimbles on their button-heads! Again, the blocks in the center are each 1 inch square.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Kirsten has been busy putting this 100 block quilt together using all her favorite red and white stash.  All done!  In the home stretch she ran into some binding issues, but her friends, Mary and Kattie, helped her with the final touches, so it would be finished by Valentine's Day.   She finished her special red, white, and blue quilt, for her friend, on Tuesday.  She will post that photo in a few days.  Whew! As busy as she has been, she needs to take some time to do some other things.

Kirsten Back from the Spa and Planning Another Quilt

Kirsten is planning a red, white, and blue quilt for a friend.  She has decided to stay away from the brights and use some early 1900s style fabrics. She has a few blocks cut out already, but will need 100 to make her quilt.
Kirsten works with layout on her design wall.

Kirsten on Creative Binge!

Kirsten is on another creative binge!  She has her blocks up on the design wall and is considering experimenting with strip quilting and maybe even brighter colors.  The sky is the limit!
Here is Kirsten's latest patchwork quilt! It has alot of different fabrics in it and a wider more jazzy border.  She has named it "Elephant Quilt" because of the one block that has an adorable elephant on it. 

the Elephant Quilt was completed on 01/29/2013

New Years Eve Quilt


Kirsten and friends enjoying New Years Eve Quilt
Kirsten and friends really like her new lap quilt! She is quite the little quilter.  It is called the 'New Years Eve Quilt" because that is when it was done. Finished at 11:41 p.m. on December 31, 2012.
