Pinwheel Jam at HOUSTON MARKET!! EEEKK!!!!

Just beyond honored to work with the incredibly talented designer Emily Breclaw, of The Caffinated quilter.  You can purchase the pattern for this original design of hers, Pinwheel Jam, at her Craftsy shop.

The majority of the quilt body is done in Crescents and Swirls and Meandering Boxes that travel in graduating sizes.

The large pinwheels are outlined to separate them further from the rest of the quilt.  The blades are quilted with straight lines to add movement, and the background is quilted in pebbles to add texture/contrast and make the pinwheel blades pop!

Lastly, the outer border done in straight lines nicely frames this amazing quilt.  and why not throw in some pebbles in the corners to tie in those on the large pinwheels and be a little fancy!

Happy quilting, y'all!

Santa Claus is coming to town!!

Goodness, Christmas seems to come faster every year.  Loretta did such a great job putting this sweet quilt top together using a panel, purchased here.  I used a wave mixed with the occasional swirl in the background to create the feel of swirling wind and tried to bring dear Santa to life by adding a bit of texture with quilting.  Notice she chose minky fabric to back this with, SO SNUGGLY!!
