Carolyn’s Sally King Shoe Quilt

Attached is my version of the Sally King’s Calendar Shoes 2013. Quilt is for daughter-in-law who chose the golds and teal colors for their wedding.  Ironically, the most difficult part was the corner blocks.   The finishing touch was the metallic gold clasp stitch on the design fabric which also matches the gold flecked backing and block pieces .

Great design Carolyn – I love all the piecing!  Suz

Sandy’s Bright and Wonderful Qult

This quilt is made from Vickie’s quilt pattern and the designs from the 10,000 member set. It was so much fun to make since borrowed a friends embroidery machine and did the large size of the designs. As you can tell I love the bright colors. I started out with all the colors in a print I had and thought that would be the border but I should know better by now and never decide on a border until I am done as this one spoke to me instead.

Betty’s Quilt with Sally’s Shoes

This is the first time I have entered any of your contests.  This is also the first time I have done a large quilt.  This is a twin size quilt for one of my grandchildren.  I have 6 of them and 5 of them are girls.
I have bought several designs from your site but when I first saw the Sally King shoes I fell in love with them.  I used the Sally King Calendar Shoes 2014 part 1 & 2 to do this quilt.  I have since bought the other sets and will be making another quilt since my little girls love shoes.  The ice cream shoe has been tweaked a little since I took off the milk shake portion of it in my software.  It was just a little much and I liked it better without the shake on the end of the shoe.
When I started sewing out the designs I put them on different colors of fabric looking at the thread  colors I was going to use in the shoes.  Some of the shoes are done in different colors then were selected by the designer and to me that is the creative part of sewing.  When I was all done I had all these different colored blocks to try and put in one quilt.  I then had to find a color for my sashings  and border that went with all the designs.  I will do the next quilt different since I learned what not to do with this one.  But it was so much fun stitching them out I kind of got carried away.
They are all stitched on a good quality cotton fabric.  The gal that quilted the quilt (Cheryl Ferris) looked at each design and quilted around each design pulling in the theme of each shoe.  She did a fantastic job on it I thought.
So now for the pictures.  Hope you enjoy this quilt.   Betty

Roberta’s Red, Black and White Quilt

My inspiration for this quilt came from a friend. She asked if I ever went to Vicki’s blog. I went and checked it out and I was hooked. I had already downloaded all the designs, but did not have a clue what I was going to do with them.

I chose to do my quilt in Red, White and Black, as she did. Its finished size is 81 by 89 inches. I wanted it a little wider than pattern suggested, so I added an extra border on the sides only, to give me added width. Used lots of red and whites and black and whites. I have a large hoop for my embroidery machine, so was able to combine designs before stitching them. I learned a lot working in Embird software. What fun! Being able to change things around. There were no additional embellishments used. I believe they would have gotten lost in the fabrics. Designs used were, in order of use, 27,33,46,38,32,13,37,42,31,5,28,24,11,23,47.

I used a large stippling on the printed fabrics all through the quilt. Then I went through again going around the embroidered design with a much smaller stippling. I am very pleased with the end results……………….Roberta S

One of my favorite color combos Roberta!   Suz
