Hello Friends,
I managed to finish a quilt in the midst of unpacking from our trip, grocery shopping trips, and tending to a sick Miss Baby! Life is crazy at the moment… but that is also typical of a mother’s life who loves to quilt, right?
Here is a preview of my Mediterranean Mosaic, using Quilting Treasures’ new line Mediterranean Dream fabrics. The fabrics are truly beautiful, like in a dream!! I quilted “long-arm” style allover quilting motif on this quilt.
I will have more to share about the fabrics, the project, and the quilting motif! Stay tuned.
Gotta run for now. You have a lovely day out there, okay? Hugs!
p.s. Thanks so much for your input on my binding post yesterday.
Such lovely fabric and stitching – thanks for sharing. Sending a big Get Well Soon to Miss Baby!
wow…lovely
I just love the fabrics and your quilting is wonderful
Beautiful!
Such fun colors and I LOVE the quilting motif!
The quilt is just perfect!
HI I enjoy your blog and posts so much. It’s even become a favorite pastime to find your quilts in magazines….there are several of course that I’d noticed before I found “Ivory Spring”. Would you consider posting a video of you quilting “long arm style”? It would be very helpful. I’ve been a hand-quilter for nearly 40 years and have been trying to perfect fmq’ing the last year. Unfortunately, though, my fmq skill do not match my hand-quilting skill. I’m having difficulty machine quilting a larger motif….I use a Supreme Slider but still cannot manage to “move” the quilt for a more sweeping effect. Am I making sense? Thanks again…your work is quite inspiring. As a just-turned 60 mother of 3 and grandma of 2 it’s nice to see young quilters/moms be so successful.
This is a beautiful line of fabric my favorites are aquas as you know. I am looking forward to seeing that quilt.
I do hope Miss Baby is better soon. Giver her a hug but don’t get sick yourself. Bunny
All-over/long-arm style quilting is, perhaps, the biggest challenge to those who use DMSs. I find that it is difficult to maintain an evenness of density and scale throughout. Even on the HQ Sweet Sixteen (sit-down long-arm ) there are similar issues. The panoramic view that a quilt on a long-arm frame affords one really cannot be achieved easily in a smaller table setting but it is NOT impossible….as Wendy has just illustrated graphically for us all!!! Your quilting motif is one of my faves and similar to a pattern that I fall back on. Fab post!!!!! Hugs…….
So love your preview. Wendy I’ve never used Quilting Treasures before, but those colors are gorgeous. Are QTs the same as quality as Moda?
Hope Miss Baby feels herself again soon.
Love the new fabrics and colors. Can’t wait to see beyond the sneak peeks!
Such nice fresh colors!
I am soooo looking forward to the follow up to this post!
Beautiful fabrics and I love your quilting, as always. Fun motif. Amazed you can do a “longarm style” on a domestic machine. Great job.
I hope Miss Baby feels better soon.

I like the quilting. Nice and simple, but beautiful. Long arm style on a domestic is the best way to go! I do that myself:)
Love this fabric & the quilting!
