I picked up a few more little quilts I had machine quilted this week. I wanted to show you how great the long arm quilting is on these quilts. I love to hand quilt but in reality I can't hand quilt everything I make. I still have another 5 or 6 that are waiting for binding and probably another 12 that need to be quilted! Lorre does such a great job on these little quilts I am caving in and having them long armed so they are finished and I can enjoy them! I fell in love with the baptist fans on these little quilts, the texture it gives my quilts is great, I tried to capture that for you to see...
The red , yellow and green is actually just X quilted thru the blocks and yes she changed the thread color for each fabric, she knows me well !
the pink and white quilt is a reproduction from Childhood Treasures book, The T Quilt and the red, green and yellow quilt are just my own " designs", just made them using fabrics I love.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I hope you all enjoy the holidays you celebrate and find a little time for quilting over the next week or so...

Lorre dies do a great job. I haven't been able to find someone to do such a good job on minis by machine. I am still (anxiously) waiting on two from the hand quilters. My favorite is the 'T' quilt. Wonder why? ;)
those minis are just sweet. my favorite is pink and white.
have a lovely Christmas

Very nice quilting job! Such beautiful work really makes the little quilts come alive, doesn't it?
They are so lovely Kathie, I particularly like the pink and white quilt. Wishing you a nice Christmas break and all the very best for 2012.
Merry Christmas to you, too!
Your little quilts are all very sweet. Love them all.
They are darling! I think I like the pink and white one best too. The baptist fans works great with them. I would like to learn to do that by machine, but I think it would be difficult.
Beautiful little quilts, Kathie.
Merry Christmas!!
I am still looking at these. That Baptist fan is amazing. How far are the curves apart? Does she do several on the same backing?
The baptist fan pattern is perfect for them. And they're done! I think you are probably lucky to know a longarmer who will do the tiny quilts for you!
Merry Christmas, Kathie!
The machine quilting has worked so well on your small quilts, love the baptist fans. I always look forward to seeing what you post, thank you for another year of inspiration and beautiful quilts.
Merry Christmas!
I'm sure it was exciting getting these little beauties back. I love your minis. Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas...
Your minis are great. Lucky you to find such a great long arm quilter who will do minis. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year. Hugs
The baptis fan pattern is a great choice.....very fitting for these lovely little quilts!
Merry Christmas

I love the way Lorre has quilted your minis. They all look fabulous and I love the fans. The pink and white quilt is gorgeous! Merry Christmas to you and your family my friend.
A few more finishes for the year! Good for you. They are beautiful. I usually don't like a machine quilted baptist fans, but I like these. A very festive grouping of quilts!
Your minis are fabulous, Kathie. The quilting is sheer perfection.
Your mini's are just adorable. I just bought several books and patterns for mini's and can't wait to get them done.
I do love the machine quilting on these types of mini quilts and I need the practice with my free motion. I like using hand stitch for the prim ones, I prefer the black floss for those.

I am trying to figure out how the long arm machine creates the Baptist fan quilting. It looks very good.
Merry Christmas!
Love you little quilts,have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.
a trio of cuteness~!
LOVE the fan quilting whether by hand or by machine.

How lovely!! I like the baptist fans very much. Getting them quilted and finished so you can enjoy them is very smart! Have a very Merry Christmas! Wishing you a 2012 filled with quilts :0)
Learning to make Baptist Fans is high on my list for the coming year. Love your little quilts!`
love the green red and yellow! yummy!
Merry Christmas!!!! all the best to you and yours!
Best wishes for a sweet holiday and very happy new year! Your quilts are always inspiring me. I love your scrappy stars!
Don't they look wonderful, though?! You are going to fill up an entire wall in no time flat!
Happy Holiday to you, Kathie!
Merry Christmas, Kathie!
Lovely little quilts and the long-arm quilting idea is a really good one for quilts this size! Lorre has done a great job! I agree better to get them quilted and enjoy them than having them sitting as UFO is a dark cupboard! Have a lovely Christmas holiday season!
Lovely minis! The quilting is perfect for each one of them. Wish you a merry Christmas!!
Lovely quilts - I'm partial to the pink and white one with the baptist fan quilting... very sweet.
Hope you have a lovely Christmas Day and a safe and happy New Year!
Merry Christmas, Kathie.

A triple treat of lovely quilts! The quilting is amazing, and sets off your work perfectly. Have a wonderful Christmas Kathie, I wonder if Santa will bring you some lovely fabric.
Lorre did a beautiful job on these little ones. I love the pink and white with the fans!
Enjoy your family this Christmas.
Kathie,
Wishing you a very happy Christmas, and a New Year with a lot of fine stitching!

Love your little quilts. And that wrapping paper you found for your gifts is awesome!!!!
I hope you had a Merry Christmas Kathie!!!
The all look wonderful Kathie! I think I like the red, green and yellow the best, although it's very hard to pick just one. ;)
