Two more edge to edge quilt designs to feature!

Here we go again!  Today we are featuring two more edge to edge quilts that turned out simply beautiful!  The first was made by Joyce for her son and DIL.  Joyce chose a palate of blue and aqua batik fabrics and turned it into a King size quilt.

The second quilt to feature was made by Fiona.  She did a teriffic job combining these colors.  I really love this quilt.  We chose a tropical leaf quilting design.

Adam's Wall Hanging turned out sweeet!

This  wall hanging was pieced by Adam.  We used a geometric quilting design against the stars, and a simple feather design on the border.

Habitat for Humanity

Lilly, who represents a group of quilters from Pamlico county, contacted me last August about the possibility of  Three Bears quilting the 2013 Habitat for Humanity raffle quilt.  I told Lilly that yes! I'd be delighted to quilt this important raffle quilt to raise money for our local branch of Habitat for Humanity.  The quilt will be displayed during Spirit of Christmas this year. The quilt is a nice size for a bed, 81 x 89.  Here are a few sneak preview photo's.  By the way, the Bears get lots and lots of requests to quilt raffle/auction quilts for local and national organizations.  As much as we'd like to, we can't quilt them all.  But we do select 3 or 4 a year and will also be happy to donate the batting along with our award winning quilting services.  Please contact us early so that we may consider yours as we plan our schedule for next year.

How about three more?

Why not? Here are three more edge to edge quilts to look at.  The first is a quilt made by Caroline.  It's a perfect example of using edge to edge quilting to achieve a custom look.  The feathered quilting design shows up so well in the border, that there is no reason to do a "separate" border.  At least not on this quilt with the blue fabric.  The Bears never "quilt off" the edges, but instead quilt in a perfect half inch (or whatever you request) to give a crisp, polished, custom look.

The next quilt was made by Holly as a gift for a friend.  She requested a quilting design that looked like waves.

 

And last but not least is a baby quilt made by Barbara. The Butterflies and Flowers are really sweet on this quilt.



Three edge to edge quilts to feature

The Bears have hundreds of edge to edge (all over) quilting designs to enhance most any quilt.  The first to feature today is a quilt that Lisa made.  She requested white thread and something festive, as it is a Christmas quilt.  We chose a design called wind swirls.  Enjoy!

The 2nd quilt we are featuring was again made by Lisa.  The quilting is quite dense, but with the 60wt thread that we used, all you see is glorious texture! 

 

 

And finally, Mary made a beautiful batik stained glass quilt.  Because it is for a man, nothing foo-foo.  How about a baptist fan design.  Can't go wrong with this!  Mary picked the perfect shade of thread from our King Tut collection, one of 5 complete lines of thread that we stock.

 

 

 



Two quilts for Mary are now finished!

Mary loves batiks (who doesn't) and did a great job piecing these two quilts.  I'm pretty sure she told me they are both gifts.  They were both quilted with all over patterns.  The thread that we use on most all batik quilts is King Tut from Superior Threads.  It comes in the most awesome solids and variegated colors.  Mary picked out the thread for both of these quilts.  Enjoy!
