Robin from California is a new quilt finisher and I have the privilege to share some of her quilt finishes with you today.

“I finished the last 3 quilts of the 6 you sent me. I provided the backing, batting, and binding for all 3.
The first one is a Harry Potter-themed quilt. The size is 39 x 41 it was quilted with a loop design.
This one is a cute panel with prints of hearts, fans, and flying geese. I did a stipple pattern for the quilting and it’s 40 x 46.
You can’t tell from the photo but it has the same backing as the Harry Potter quilt. I had a large piece of the grey backing and I put them both on the longarm at the same time. Â
This last one is… 39 x 42 and I used a blue for the backing. I used a beige thread on top and a blue on the bottom.
Once again I did a stipple design. Someday I hope to get brave enough to do something other than a stipple or loop.
I need to step out of my box and try something new.
I am going to pack up all 3 quilts and send them to HELLO COTTONS. That’s the group you told us about in your 5/23/22 post. They are collecting quilts to send to Ukraine all year long. So these will make their way to Ukraine.”
Great quilts Robin. They look wonderful. A stipple or loop is great on community quilts. They will likely be used and washed regularly and both of those motifs stand up to heavy laundering.
I believe all of these tops were made and donated by the Cresco Ladies. Many thanks to them and to Robin for bringing these quilts to life. I think they will all go on and make the recipients happy…and welcome to the team Robin.
Thank you Robin and all the ladies involved in making the beautiful quilt tops!
Such pretty quilts. They will all be well-received and cherished. I think the stipple and loops are great stitches for the quilting. Thanks Robin and Cresco ladies!
Great job Robin! The quilts are beautiful.
Robin,
You did a beautiful job!!! Don’t be afraid to try something new. whoever receives these quilts will love them no matter what the quilting is on it. It’s a great way to have some fun.
Great start Robin. Lovely quilts all of you.
Robin, thanks for the lovely finishes along with donations of batting, backings and bindings. A shout out to the Cresco ladies for an endless supply of tops!!
