Thursday quilt day! I had a years-long love affair with Pacific Rim 2 fabric appliqué patterns. After years of being afraid of & in awe of appliqué I ordered an instructional video & fell in love with needle turn appliqué.

Thursday quilt day snuck up on me this week. This is by far my favorite shirt quilt - for my daughter’s soccer years.

Thursday quilt day!
Another 2-fabric appliqué pattern from Pacific Rim. The sunset coloring is made from thousands of hand stitches.

Thursday quilt day!
Found the scenic panel at a fabulous quilt store in Cody, WY. The precision required is at the edge of my abilities but I was happy enough with the result.

In 2021 I took a break from quilting to crochet my Covid blanket - a spin off of a temperature blanket. Colors represent the #of Covid cases in my county. #crochet #quilting #bskyquilting

I wasn’t familiar with that pattern- the pictures I found are beautiful. May have to add that to my list of quilts I want to make!

Used a combination of appliqué and reverse appliqué to make this for a friend. *Not associated with any professional sports team*

So many little pieces in this one! I like the outcome but not sure I’d do it again.

Eye of the beholder pattern “Karen’s hospitality” reverse appliqué with ombré background.

Quilt with dark red ombré fabric background that fades to light in the middle. Gray contrast appears like wrought iron gating.

I’m looking for suggestions on patterns for quilting this wall hanging. Has to be hand quilted-it’s my favorite part of quilting. Plus my machine is old & not built for machine quilting! #bskyquilting #handquilting #quilt #quilting
