Welcome to Needle and Thread Thursday, y'all! With my roses in full bloom, it's my very favorite time of year to take quilt pictures, so I hope you'll indulge this slightly picture-heavy post. As I mentioned in my last post, this quilt is a remake of my original Folk Dance quilt, and I'm keeping this one as a class sample, as well as for trunk shows (pattern available HERE and HERE). I thought a dense, allover flower quilting motif would compliment the Anna Maria Horner fabrics nicely, and I have to say- I am as proud of this quilting as any I've ever done. I even had a quilty friend ask if I had bought a longarm machine. Nope- all quilted on my domestic BERNINA, but I take that as a huge compliment! Even though I used 25 different prints in this quilt, I am saving the remainder of these fat quarters for a king size quilt for my bed. I did use the smallest leftover pieces on the backing though, and it adds just a little bit of flair. This quilt has a full rainbow of color, so I could have chosen almost any color binding. This Kona Oasis was already in my stash, and I love how it frames the twirling skirt blocks, so it was a no-brainer. Okie dokie, friends! I owe you some winners from last week's April sponsor post! First up, the two winners of the adorable Hello Spring embroidery from Fort Worth Fabric Studio are comments 20 (Lee), and 16 (Mary). Next, the winner of the $25 gift card to LouLou's Fabric Shop is comment number 52 (Angela Bowling). And last, but certainly not least, the winner of the $25 gift certificate to Lady Belle Fabrics is comment number 34 (Susan L.). Congratulations to all four of you, and happy stitching and shopping! Time to check out the eye-candy from last week's party! This stunner is by Cyndi at Quilting is More Fun Than Housework- Katie Mae Quilts shared this lovely quilt. Definitely check out the post for some close ups of the quilt, but I couldn't resist including this gorgeous rainbow shot here. Speaking of beautiful photos, check out this quilt from Elm Street Quilts. A gorgeous quilt, and I love the beautiful setting! The talent showcased at NTT week after week is simply amazing. Without further ado, let's party! 1. You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing! 2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others. 3. Please remember to spread the word and post my button or a text link. 4. Spread the comment love far and wide! 5. Following me is not a requirement to link, but is so very appreciated! *If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop" when selecting your thumbnail photo. For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work! :)
