To Grandmother's House We Go - a free quilt pattern

Click here for the free quilt pattern






This quilt is a take on little red riding hood. I just think it is adorable for girls of any age! This is a great opportunity to learn flying geese. There is a little applique, for those who just want to get their toes wet, and the rest is traditional piecing. It is definitely a great opportunity to use up some of those fabric scraps! Windham Fabrics has provided this free quilt pattern.

A finish - Customer Quilt - Going Batty





I have a customer who is a member of a Spelunking group. What is spelunking? It is for people who actually enjoy crawling around in caves and other dark crevices in the earth. I will stick to quilting and an occasional hike in wide open spaces.









Anyway, every year a group of Spelunkers gets together and they part of their activities is a silent auction. She always makes a quilt for the auction and this is the current year's installment.










Typically, her quilts for this event include bats in the fabric and I believe the last couple of years the quilting was a design that included bats. This year, I felt like the design of the quilt was calling for a geometric quilting design. At first, I was leaning towards squares/lines....then the circles changed my mind. I landed on this circular "bubbles" all-over design.




Do you have a quilt that needs finishing? I would love the opportunity to quilt for you. Please e-mail me:
