My Home Town Quilt

September 2, 2015

Home Town Quilt, LKennedyGood Morning, Quilters!

It’s a happy day in My Home Town (Stillwater, Minnesota)…

This little quilt (12 x 20 inches) was stitched in less than an hour.

Remember the Doodle Lesson on Wavy Lines?

I started by drawing wavy lines across my fabric.

Doodles, LKennedyThen I added Home Sweet Home from yesterday’s, Tuesday Tutorial-

Home,FMQ, LKennedyPretty soon, I had an entire village!

Home Town Quilt, LKennedyI had so much fun that I think I will make this into a larger quilt.

I could add motifs like the Race Car

The Race Car-A Free Motion Quilt TutorialAnd perhaps a few trucks…(Is anyone interested in a tutorial for this?)Free Motion Quilted TruckI think with a little doodling this little village…Home Town Quilt, LKennedyCould be developed into a really fun city!

Hope YOUR doodles are helping you create more imaginative quilts!

Happy Street-Cleaning!

Lori

NOTE-This little quilt was stitched on my BERNINA 770QE  with Sulky Rayon 30 wt on top, Aurifil cotton 50 wt in the bobbin, using a size 90 Topstitch needle.

    I think you could add lots of cars on the Main Street of Stillwater. The wavy lines are the hills but also the beautiful St. Croissants. I like the design a lot.

      That St. Croix ..auto correct does some interesting things.

      Do you live nearby? Or have you visited Stillwater?

        Grew up in River Falls and now live in northern WI so I love when you photos are of the river. So yes I have visited Stillwater and love the shops and the eating is fun too.

    I would be very interested, because this would be a perfect Christmas gift for my Dad.
    Greetings from Germany and thanks for your patience to show us all your tutorials!

    Yes, trucks would be a good thing to add to our repertoire. I am making a road map quilt (at least in my head) for my GS. Anything boyish would be great addition to put on it.

    This could be really fun stitched on a kids quilt around the border. Yes please for the extra tutorial. Your blog has been a fantastic quilting resource for me as I learn more about Free Motion Quilting. Thank you.

    This question is off the subject, but I’m interested in your thoughts on quilt care. How do you clean/launder the quilts that your family uses on beds. laps, etc.?
    Thanks for all of your tutorials.

    Trucks, trains, planes! More things that go!
    We could put your boat in a lake, way down low.
    With a bird in the sky and a dog in the yard
    Quilting this way isn’t so hard!

    Cute poem Jane!! Love the truck idea Lori. I’m right across the “crick” from you, east of Houlton. How about a pickup pulling a horse trailer!?!?!?

    Adorable little quilt and I loved your beautiful town! I hope to come back sometime. I was super busy having fun with Charlie the last couple days but my head doodled all kinds of things all day….is like I had my doodle googles on. LOL! Sometimes it just takes someone kicking open a door to find all the new inspiration and ideas. You do that for me. 🙂 Have a super day! 🙂

    Love the idea. I have been wanting you to put together a snowy birdie rural scene, too! If you are taking suggestions! LOL

    Now, to make it really “educational” for a youngster, maybe put street names of his or her streets on it! And the cars and trucks on a border! Love your ideas, Lori.

      I love how you changed the motif to trees and houses! We love to camp in a trailer and I am imagining a campfire, trees and a vintage trailer tutorial! Thank you Lori!
