Five down, One to Go!!

OK, here's three more of the six quilts that Julia is making for (fill in the blank as you wish....I'm still not sayin' what for).  This makes five total.  By the way, the batting that we are using on all of these quilts is Hobbs Tuscany Wool.  Wool + Fairly Dense Quilting = Beautiful
This first quilt received a design by Tammy Finkler, another one of our favorite designers and teachers.  It has ferns, Butterflies, and flowers.


Here's some detail of the quilting.  Remember, you can click on any image for more detail.

This next quilt had me singing "Mellow Yellow" by Donovan.  Johnny tells me it was a hoot graduating from high school in 1970.  I guess Donovan actually got a whole lot of people smoking banana peels because of this song.  Weird times.....

 The quilting design is called Daisy Days by Kay Oft .  Kay's an excellent instructor.  We always seek her out at Statler Retreats. 

  And finally, the pink and blue one! 

The quilting design on this one is called Wonderland, and it's from our way too extensive Ann Bright collection.  We've never got an opportunity to meet Anne in person.  Maybe at the next Statler Conference.

This last photo is a good example of how the Bears use overall designs to create a very custom look--without the custom price!!
