EQ8 Design -- 'The Heavens Declare Thy Glory'

This is the EQ8 design I plan to use for 'The Heavens Declare Thy Glory' quilt for grandson Leroy, who will be 13 next month. I have the universe fabric for these blocks, and I think there will be enough of the all-over glow-in-the-dark fabric for the back of this quilt, as well as the 'Consider the Heavens' quilt.

I've ordered some background fabric for 'Consider the Heavens', and am now hunting through my stash for coordinating and contrasting fabrics.

EQ8 Design -- 'Consider the Heavens'

Playing with EQ8, and here's the design for the next quilt, 'Consider the Heavens', which will be for grandson Grant, age 11.  I have the center panel, and an all-over glow-in-the dark galaxy print for the backing.

Border Fabrics

I've just been to our LQS, Sew What, and purchased these fabrics for borders for the Vintage Airplanes quilt.

 

Vintage Airplane Pieces

 I'm ready to start sewing all these pieces of the Vintage Airplane quilt together.  This quilt is for grandson Justin, who's 12.

'For Love of a Chihuahua' Quilt Complete

 The 'For Love of a Chihuahua' quilt for granddaughter Juliana is all done.  It was breezy today, and kept rippling the quilt or turning it into a balloon.  😅  The quilt measures 75" x 83".  I designed it in EQ8.  The Chihuahua panel and all-over print were designed by David Textiles, Inc.  The pantograph is called 'Sonnet', by Patricia E. Ritter and Valerie Smith.  I used a 40-wt. coral variegated King Tut thread called 'Valley of the Kings' on top, and 60-wt. coral Bottom Line thread in the bobbin.  The batting is Quilters' Dream wool.  Quilted on an 18" Handi Quilter Avanté.  My machine is hand-guided, not computer-driven.

Quilting Finished on 'For Love of a Chihuahua'

 The quilting is finished on the 'For Love of a Chihuahua' quilt.  Now for the binding!
