Somebody’s Been Busy

And that would be Debbie, of Prairie Queen's Quilt Shop in San Jose, CA.  Debbie does my quilting for me, and she just finished three quilts, each one prettier than the next!

Madeline, in my hands already!  And look at the beautiful feather quilting design.  This is my adaptation of a Miss Rosie Schnibbles pattern called Madeline.  Fabric is Rouenneries by French General for Moda.

Prairie Paisley, just in time for the 4th of July.  Prairie Paisley is the fabric collection, designed by Minick and Simpson for Moda.  Pattern came from a Better Homes and Gardens American Patchwork and Quilting Summer 2008 magazine.

And Moor Is Moor, made with Wuthering Heights fabric by 3 Sisters for Moda.  Pattern is Summer Winds, a Miss Rosie's Quilt Company offering.  A prettier color combination could not be found.

And now I am the one who is going to be busy, sewing the bindings on all these quilts….

  1. Yes. They are all gorgeous! These were wonderful as tops but the quilting just finishes them off beautifully. I recently took a class with Harriet Hargrave and was chatting with her on how we leave too many tops with out a good finish and this just proves the point.

  2. How can I choose a favorite? They are each absolutely gorgeous! I always love to see the finished produce – when the quilting is complete. Thanks for showing them on your bed. It makes it easy to visualize one on mine! I’d better get busy – need to clean the sewing room first, though.

  3. I love these! reading your blog makes me want to get offline and sew!
    I just read your “Toulouse” story, from February. that is so much fun!

  4. Hey Nicole – I’m just catching up on your blog (hangs head shamelessly that I missed a few days) love love love the quilts. Here’s a quick newbie question for you…how much background fabric do you buy when you stock up? Thanks!

  5. The quilts are lovely, Nicole. It looks like your quilter used a pantograph on Madeleine – any chance of finding out the name of that particular pattern?

  6. Wow, Nicole, all three are beautiful! How do you accomplish so much and with perfect pattern and fabric choices. You are amazing!!!

  7. Glorious quilts, one and all!! Applause, applause!!!! Look like you’ve been busy, too.
    Hugs!

  8. Well girl you have done it again.I wish I could piece A quilt as quick as you do I think I need A bit of A push.cant get into sewing at the moment.lost my mojo.
    Hugs Mary.

  9. I am stunned by just how beautiful each of the quilts is, and by how much it must have cost to have three quilted at once! Our addictions can be expensive. Love your work as always.

  10. Beautiful. The only okay thing about sewing on bindings in the middle of summer heat is sitting underneath a ceiling fan–here’s hoping you’ve got one to sit under!

  11. I remember how you struggled finishing up your Prairie Paisley project, how wonderful to have it back home just in time for the 4th of July!
    Summer Winds, a great pattern for any family of fabric, I’ll need to keep that on my radar since I’m sure Wuthering Heights fabric is impossible to find.
    Madeline looks wonderful wearing feathers!
    Love them all. I’ve never gotten more than one quilt back from the quilter at a time, what a jackpot!

  12. All 3 are beautiful. Love the feathers on Madeline. I have Aster Manor set aside for Summer Wind and hope it looks half as good as your fabric choice.

  13. wow… so beautiful! I remember seeing these in their creation stages and the problems with geese etc. happy that these are now completed for you! Cheers! Veronica

  14. Now isn’t that funny! I visited San José in May and stayed there with a dear friend of mine. And I even visited the Prairie Queen’s Quilt Shop three times in the two week we were there.
    Your quilts look stunning!
