What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This darling raccoon is part of a baby quilt that Reneta made for a family friend.  The Raccoon block pattern is from Sew Fresh Quilts and Reneta put together her own layout including the baby's name.

Reneta has made a number of similar baby quilts over the years and her favorite quilting design for them is my freehand woodgrain design.  I find the design quite relaxing to quilt so I never tire of quilting them the same way.

Cindy made this fabulous Wonderful Woodland quilt as a gift for a baby that will be arriving soon to friends in Japan.  What a perfect choice to send a little bit of Canada over to a new baby from its "Canadian Grandma".

I did my freehand woodgrain quilting pattern as I love the texture it adds and I like to plan my stitchhing path to avoid stitching through any cute little eyeballs!

This is Loraine's version of the Wonderful Woodland quilt by Art East Quilt Company.  Loraine picked up this kit from Keystone Modern Creative, and it is still available if you need to make one for yourself.

I suggested adding my freehand woodgrain quilting to finish this one off and Loraine agreed.  It is my favorite quilting design for patterns such as this.

 

I think this is the 4th Fancy Forest quilt that I have quilted for Reneta.  This one is extra special though.   It has lovingly been made for Reneta's first grandchild set to arrive any day.  Reneta dug into her Ombre Confetti fabric that she had been saving for just the right occasion.

 

Reneta always requests my freehand woodgrain quilting for this pattern, and I never get tired of the finished look.  I love all these cute animals, and check out the minky added to the bunny ears! 

Reneta used Elizabeth Hartman's Bjorn Bear pattern  and adapted it to make these two sweet baby quilts.  She requested my freehand woodgrain pattern and I think they turned out just great.  Reneta requested that I quilt over the appliqued name as well.

The foxes and bunnies are from Elizabeth Hartman's Fancy Forest quilt pattern.

As usual I played only a small part in this quilt by adding the wood grain quilting.  I must say woodgrain has become one of my favorite designs to quilt out.
