Another Finish!

/ quiltinggail

Back in May, when my son and his partner, Sara, were helping me to set up a booth for Essem Textiles, Carola’s Quilt Shop was setting up sort-of across the way. They saw a quilt she had hanging there and fell in love with it. Later, I went and bought the 5 fat quarters I needed to make the quilt. Here is a picture of the bundles of Tim Holtz fabric: (picture borrowed from Carola’s FB page).

It’s taken me since then to make the quilt and I gifted it to my son for his 42nd birthday – and yes, it was late! (How did my baby boy turn 42???).

Here’s a picture of him (and me and grand-dog) with the quilt:

And a picture of the quilt itself:

The quilting in the blocks used the Silly Moon ruler “Kite” … which broke as I was fighting with it on my little machine with a low shank. I didn’t have the proper ruler for my bigger high shank machine. And simple swirls with variegated thread were quilted in the sashing.

I used a light grey fireside on the back and it shows off the quilting! It’s a nice cozy quilt!

I used Hobbs 80/20 batting and Aurifil thread.

Don’t Forget!

I am now a Silly Moon affiliate! So what does that mean? When you use my affiliate code Quiltinggail2024 at Silly Moon, you will receive 10% off your order and I will receive a small commission.

One who sleeps under a quilt is covered by LOVE!

Happy Quilting!

  2. Hi Gail, no wonder your son and his partner fell in love with it. It’s really gorgeous and highlights the fabrics beautifully. I love your quilting but sorry about your ruler 😦

    Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks. Have a great spooky day!

  5. Hi there! I have a few silly moon rulers! Finally, a Canadian ruler creator! I have used them a bit, but I freak out when it comes to machine quilting and I tend to procrastinate. I will take your lead and get out there and finish my tops ;).
