A cute little house quilt
This donation top is from Barbara Jean and I thought I would quilt it with the Halcyon pantograph while it’s on the machine but I changed my mind when I got it loaded, I was afraid the ric rac would get too messed up if I tried to quilt it from the back so instead I quilted flowers from the Pajama Quilter DVD. They have a kind of whimsy that suits the quilt I think.
I’m never that happy with my freehand quilting while I’m doing it but usually once I get the quilt off the machine I’m happier with it and by the time it’s bound and washed I’m usually very happy. This one’s going to be really cute when the binding is finished.
I’ve been wondering how much I’d be able to get done before heading out of town again next week and was thinking I might be able to get 6 – 10 tops quilted if I worked really hard.
This is #3 so 6 is definitely doable but I’m not so sure about 10 as I have some non quilting things to do including spending some time Monday with a couple new friends and getting outside a bit since we’re having such beautiful spring weather.

Love the whimsy PJ quilter flowers. I love the ones I did that way too. I wasn’t sure at first, but now that I’ve done them on a couple tablerunners, they are pretty cute.
That’s cute! I love the rick rack on the houses. It’s such a fun little detail.
fun quilt! I just finished machine quilting a house quilt myself and I have some of that that b/w swirly fabric that’s on the roof in mine too!
Such a cute quilt. Love all the bright colors.
That is a darling quilt. Good job on the quilting.
What a cute quilt!
That’s such a fun quilt, I love it.
My comment is more of the same, but I love it so much, I had to comment on the fun whimsy. The person who gets this won’t be able to help but smile! Nice job Barbara Jean and Mary.

The ric-rack trimmed houses are adorable!
really cute!
What an adorable quilt! I think your quilting looks great. I too am usually not happy with my free motion from the front of the machine, but once you get it off it’s generally just fine (the galloping horse thing, you know!). I love Pajama Quilter’s ideas.
Barbara Jean’s quilt is sooo cute and your quilting finished it off so perfectly. Reminds me of Freddie Moran’s quilts. The recipient of the quilt will be so happy to get the quilt. Thanks for sharing, Mary.
That is such a happly little quilt! Jenn
I have a weakness for house quilts and this one is ADORABLE
That quilt is adorable! I love house quilts anyway-that one is great! Now I may have to add another quilt to do to my evergrowing list
