Quilt, Pillow and Ringbearer's Pillow for Ruby

Ruby had a beautiful wedding dress with a double train, one layer satin and one lace. She wanted her  dress made into a quilt, a pillow and a ringbearer's pillow for her daughter. 

Ruby Pillow Front

I used satin from the dress for the pillow, with the beaded front bodice and strands of  bead "pearls". The back of the pillow was made from the lace train.

Ruby Pillow Back

The ringbearer's pillow was satin with beaded embellishments from the dress.

Ruby Pillow and Ringbearer's Pillow

Ruby's quilt was made from the skirt of her dress.  The satin and lace panels were joined in the center, and machine quilted in a feather design.  This showed off the lace, embellishments, and the lace on the bottom edge of the quilt

Wedding dress quilt for Sandy

Sandy sent me her husband's tie along with her dress for a wedding dress quilt.  Her dress had a net overskirt, with an underskirt covered with embroidery and sequins.  The lining of her dress was a pretty satin. 

I embroidered the names and wedding date in a heart in the satin center of the quilt, with a feather design around the embroidery.  Her husband's tie made a narrow green border, then the lace from her underskirt was over satin in the middle border.  The satin outer border had a quilted feather design.

Catie’s Three Layered Wedding Dress Quilt

Catie's beautiful wedding dress had three layers. The bottom layer was a pretty satin, the middle layer was a fine mesh covered in sequins, and the top layer was tulle with beaded/sequined lace embellishments.

The center was satin, embroidered with the bride and groom's names and wedding date inside of a diamond shape made from lace motifs from the skirt of the dress.  The rest of the center was quilted in two feather patterns, the inner swirl pattern mimics the outer border pattern. 

The inner border was satin, covered in the sequined mesh, with lace sewn on in the corners and spaced around the border.  The outer border is satin, quilted in a feather swirl design.
