Sharing Something Sweet...

Last night we wrapped up our final Modern Quilt Class.  The women in my classes are so inspiring....I love sewing with all of them....every single one!

So I thought I would share some of the creations....
Janelle has such an eye for color!  She used this gorgeous red/orange shot cotton for the background and lots of Anna Maria Horner {crush} for the fanciful wings!  I love this design!
She is hand quilting this with perle cotton in a pattern of circles....fantastic!

Jenny worked on a star quilt with various shades of green for the background fabric and the sashing....
Isn't it amazing!  She is working on a spiky border and will machine quilt her new bed quilt!

The fabrics and colors she chose are so much fun....and so bright!

And Melody wanted to do a quilt that had a circular feel....reminiscent of a double wedding ring.  Melody had never quilted or pieced a quilt before....so we found this Flowering Snowball pattern.  A traditional pattern with gentle curves.  
Can you believe she has never put a quilt together before?  And isn't this just the cutest pattern?  Melody used re-purposed fabrics for this quilt.  The pink fabric she dyed at home and is from old shirts!  How great is that!

And finally, Lora worked on a quilt that will become a gift for friends....somehow I missed getting a good picture of her color block quilt....I think I was mesmerized by the yummy cupcake resting on her sewing machine!

Thank you Janelle for providing the sweets :)  And I will post a proper picture of Lora's quilt when she is finished quilting...she plans to machine quilt and add some pick stitching!  Yay!

Then when I got home last night I had an email from another student who just can't get enough of quilting....warms my heart :)
Jennifer made a larger version of this quilt in our beginning quilt class....then she made a mini- me pinwheel quilt!  
You are a rock-star Jennifer!!!

Isn't quilting great :)
