To my pleasant surprise, the quilt that I pieced on my Baby Lock and quilted on our Gammill, received a 1st Place Ribbon in its category at the 2012 North Alabama Fair in Muscle Shoals.  I am thrilled to be able to show it to you.

This log cabin quilt, done in pinks, blues and purples is a baby gift for my new granddaughter, Lillian, who was born June 4, 2012.  The fabric was purchased during the April 2012 AQS Show in Paducah and quilted with threads from Superior Threads.

King Tut, Lava and So Fine brands in 4 shades were used to do the quilting.  It was quilted In-The-Ditch first for stabilization and I purposely left the center area unquilted to cause it to poof out some.  The light sides of the blocks were quilted using a pebbling technique.  For the dark sides of the blocks I created what I call ”funky flower feathers” and they really turned out great!  Both of those techniques were done with Lava thread.  The borders were quilted in a medium-small meander with a varigated King Tut thread and finally, all four techniques were blended together on the back with So Fine.  The color selected for the bobbin, allowed the quilting on the back to be almost invisible.

This quilt is just one example of the awesome work that we do at the Singing River Quilt Company.  Let us help you create a winner!  Check us out at www.singingriverquilt.com or email us at info@singingriverquilt.com.
