My friend Christine stopped by today with a great show and tell. She just pulled off the driveway, but I can hardly wait to show you what we did. (With her permission)
Christine's version of Peppermint Pinwheels. A generous queen size quilt.
Here is the detailed picture of her blocks. She chose to mix and match her colors within the block. I LOVE how they look! It makes them sparkle even without the sun!
Her machine quilted rainbow borders looked even more perfect in person.
Here she is! Here she was ''complaining'' how heavy this quilt was after being machine quilted. Christine loves working with home-Dec fabrics.
She makes the best of all kinds of fabrics and loves the challenge of creatively using pre-cut fabrics.
We hung her quilts on the line for pictures.
Are you seeing double?
Good! That's because she made not one but two quilts for her guest rooms and that's not all!
There is more! Just look at the next picture!
Like I said earlier, she loves working with pre-cut squares. Don't you love this quilt in the middle?
Check out the details on it. She hand quilted the quilt with perle cotton and embellished it with ... Guess what?
Paper clips!!!
Yes, you read it right - Paper clips! How clever is that? Who needs beads when you have got some fancy clips?
Christine also made these runners for my book before it was published. Unfortunately, it could not get included in the book due to the space restrictions. If you have my book you know how tightly the pages are filled. But now I get to share them with you. I wish she was a blogger, she would have hundreds of ideas for us all to try out.
Time flew by quickly as it always does. Christine, I am so glad you stopped by. As always, it was great time spent with you exchanging ideas and sharing stories.
I hope you are inspired by Christine's colors, textures and creativity. I am!
Thank you, Christine!

So many wonderful ideas! I love her peppermint pinwheels with different solids and large floral backgrounds. They do really sparkle. And the triangle quilt and flying geese runners are fabulous. Congratulations to Christine!
