Karma and Poolside - The Quilts



Karma (left) and Poolside (right) are FINISHED!

Created during Vicki's HSTeria quilt-along
these quilts each measure 45 x 66 inches.

Photographed on the fishing pier at Cameron Brown Park in Germantown, TN.





This shot shows the backing fabric - it's the same on both quilts.

I just love the way the sunlight and breeze bring the quilts to life!

And if you look closely, 
you can see my younger son
sitting on the pier holding the top edges of the quilts
so they didn't blow off into the water.




These ducks were less than a foot away from my son on the pier --
extremely curious, persistent, and vocal they were!




Quilting by Chris Ballard.

Karma (left) was quilted with one of my favorite pantos - Waterworld.

Poolside (right) was free motion quilted.




Karma and Poolside are "his and hers" quilts.

They'll be gifted later this year.

They turned out very nice. The setting was beautiful but I was holding my breath that they wouldn't fall into the water.

Oh my, what beautiful quilts--and a perfect setting for photos! Love the quilting on both of them as well.

Both calm and serene... well done. Waterworold is one of my fave pantos too; I know, that shocks you. ;)
