We love Vickie McGee's quilt.  The large
white side-setting triangles gave us a
blank slate for Kim Diamond's Turkish
Bouquet pattern.  We think it is very
compatible with the quilt top design.  
Note the red stitching on the border in
one of the closeup pictures.
Sue Carter's fun quilt warranted an
energetic quilting design.  We used
"Sunspirit" which has radiating curves
and spirals.
Sandra Lowell's quilt uses a Dutch panel she
obtained from Den Haan and Wagenmakers.  
Google their website for some eye candy.  We
used a neutral thread to free-motion around the
complex designs in the center panel and then
added texture around the stars with a
computerized pattern.
Kerry Olson and the women who helped her make this
Round Robin quilt really outdid themselves so of course,
we had to do the same.  Carrie's spunky medallion set the
stage for the borders that surround it.  We free-motioned
around the wool applique and just had to add the
computerized boots design around the outer borders.  
After all the fun we had working with this applique center,
we just have this to say--we are ready for more applique
quilts--"BRING IT ON!  LOL."
This quilt is a Honey Bee Quilt Store
2008 'Block of the Month' project pieced
by Osie Lebowitz.  To honor the
intricacy of this pattern we spent about
30 hours on the custom quilting.
Emsud Horozovic is the Manager of the City of Round
Rock's Forestry Department with extensive expertise and
appreciation of trees.  This quilt top, made by his friend,
Dale Rickels, reflects Emsud's interests and knowledge.  
We continued the theme by quilting pine cone borders,
"talking trees with crystal eyes" in the border corners.
Carol Hoag provided us an opportunity to quilt our first
flannel quilt--the vibrant colors are gorgeous on this quilt
and Carol got a lot of positive response when she
presented it at the Chisholm Trail Quilt Guild.
Sue Revell found this beautiful Dresden Plate quilt in a
chest and believes it was made by her great
grandmother.  The fabrics appear to be mostly from the
1930s.  As is true of so many of these heirlooms, the
quilt had some fraying at the edges, so we added
borders to stabilize it and made pillow shams to match.  
The quilting was customized including stitch in the ditch,
special quilting in the blocks and borders and more.
Sarah Jakobeit took a class at Round Rock's local quilt
store, Mini-Stitches, to make this quilt top using a design
by Marilyn P. (sorry, Marilyn, we didn't want to misspell
your name! Marilyn is a regular teacher at the store.  
Marilyn blended the snowball block, Jacob's ladder and
nine-patch blocks into this beautiful design.  The quilting
pattern is "Plumes" by Kim Diamond.
Lucinda Ashmore participated in a Round Robin
challenge in her quilting bee.  She made the centerpiece
medallion and her bee members each took a turn at one
of the borders.  The results are beautiful and we couldn't
resist giving this one the full custom treatment, with stitch
in the ditch between borders and major sections,
modified echo quilting and other free motion styles in the
medallion and a variety of custom designs in the
borders. This quilt will be hung at Honey Bee Quilt Store
for their spring shop hop.
