Sherry's Quilting Studio: April Showers and Much More

Finally my beautiful irises have bloomed. I wish they would stay longer, but at least some will bloom again a little later. The purple ones are my favorites, but I seem to have so many more of the pink ones which are not very vivid in color. If I can only keep these coming back very year to enjoy.

I am behind in getting my blog posted this month. Between working at Lavender Lime and getting all my customers quilts done there hasn't been much time for blogging or anything else. I was lucky to quilt some beautiful customer quilts again this month.

Betty made not one, but two of these tumbling block quilts. Go Betty!

These are Janice's quilts. The one below is with the Morris Tapestry fabric. As usual a terrific job.

The quilting pattern is called Dreamy Clouds.

This one is Sandi's Roll,Roll Cotton Boll. A beautiful quilt--well done Sandi!

This quilt was done by Bill Klingensmith--yes, Bill our sewing machine technician. He did a terrific job on his first quilt. I wish my picture of it was better in order to show the whole wall hanging with the beautiful batik fabrics. Watch out Melissa--he'll be into your fabric stash.

One of Delia's Sassy and Sophisticated quilts. The colors were fantastic.

Melinda did this really pretty Christmas quilt. Now she is ahead of all of us with the Christmas projects. Go Melinda! The next picture shows the back with the poinsettia pattern.

This is a very old Lone Star quilt from Lewis. The fabrics included velvet, poplin, and a little of everything.

Joy made this really gorgeous quilt. Unfortunately the picture does not do it justice. It started out as a Quilting 101 sampler quilt and she expanded it into a much larger quilt with wonderful borders. The colors in the picture do not show the teals, greens and golds accurately. On the back, Joy appliqued beautiful butterflies so she chose a butterfly pattern for quilting. I wish my pictures had turned out better so that you could see how great the colors were. The picture also rotated itself for some reason.

This is Margaret's pretty little 1930's quilt with applique. Very nice!!

Another wall hanging from Delia. Great job!!!

Scottie made this lovely quilt as a wedding memories quilt. The quilt top was signed by friends and family at the wedding. A great keepsake.

Carolene made this great 1930's style quilt. Very lovely!

Judy did a beautiful job, as usual on this quilt. She was working on it at Red Rooster in January.

Laura made this lovely quilt. Again, the colors don't show as bright as the were, but it is red with black and white. Good job Laura.

This is the back and the pattern is Antique Lace.

This is Dana's quilt which was made by Jean. It has cute little bird houses. Very nice.

Betty made this really beautiful Winter Wonderland quilt. Traditionally it is made with red embroidery and red and white fabrics, but Betty used green embroidery and gave it more of a scrappy look with the fabrics. Very pretty. I wish my photo had turned out better. The quilting pattern is Snowday.

May Claire made this quilt for her daughter. It is so beautiful with the bright colors against the black. Who wouldn't love to take this quilt to college with them.
