Peach Sunrise

 Peach Sunrise is my latest quilt.  I saw the grouping of fat quarters at Cotton Pickins Shop in Washington. I had previously made a quilt with their Seaside Serenity Kit and thought the Peaches and Blush fat quarter group would make a great quilt.  I used a rail fence pattern for the quilt.  In the meantime I had purchased a new magnetic hoop to use with my 10 needle embroidery machine.  So the top is quilted with Feathers 2 end-to-end embroidery pattern from Designs by Juju. I like this quilt and enjoyed the entire process of making it.

Seaside Serenity

This is Seaside Serenity.  It is a quilt kit that I immediately fell in love with the colors when I saw it at Cotton Pickin's Quilt shop in Washington State.  I don't usually purchase kits but this one shouted at me.  I knew that I was going to try end-to-end embroidery design from JuJu.  This is the  Swirls 1 design. I basted the top, batting, and backing together with 505 spray (lightly sprayed). I recently purchased a magnetic hoop from Mighty Hoops to make the hooping quicker. I started in the middle of the quilt on one side and continued across to the other edge.  The last hooping on the edge was about five inches so when the design went off the edge I would stop the design and forward to another section that stitched on the quilt.  This quilt took some time and patience as there is probably 60 hoopings.  I just wanted to prove to myself that I could really quilt my own quilts. Someone is going to receive a nice Christmas present!
