Butterfly
A quilt with a lot of negative space inspires me to quilt a dense design like I did on this client’s quilt. It adds interest without detracting from the focus which, of course, is the butterfly. I was delighted with the result and so was my customer.
One of My Own
Sometimes I take a little break and work on my own projects. This quilt was one of them. This is a design from Scott Flanagan of the Nebraska Quilt Company. I knew I needed to make it as soon as I saw the pattern. He suggested flannel for this quilt so that’s what I used and I am quite happy with the outcome.
Nebula Quilt
I quilted this beauty for a new customer in Oregon. I spent more than 40 hours on this quilt. I failed to count the diamonds in the background and although it was tedious I was very happy with the outcome as was my customer.
Quilting During the Corona Virus
Corona Pachyderm
What a challenge we are all experiencing during this terrible time. Staying home is very difficult for some people, but quilters are using their time to hide out in their sewing rooms. I’m being careful along with most people and I’m using my time to catch up on customer quilts and spend time on my own projects. I decided it was the right time to work on my Elelphant which was a paper piecing challenge. Although the virus is a worry for everyone, using time to enjoy your favorite homebound activities cqn bring calm and pleasure to a difficult day.
Wide backs
I have begun carrying some wide backing fabric. I have 108” cotton in basic colors and 60” & 90” Cuddle as well. The Cuddle is so soft and the quilting looks beautiful on it.
Gravity Quilt
I did custom quilting on this Gravity quilt for a customer. I was pretty happy with the result and my customer was delighted.
My Own Quilt
I found this pattern a few months ago and immediately began searching for the fabrics i wanted to use. Once they all arrived I started piecing, piecing, piecing. I loved the top when it was completed but it took me a very long time to come up with a quilting plan. I had a week off from working on customers’ quilts just before the holidays and I took a deep breath and put it on the frame. Oh, did I have fun. It took me several days to work out the placement and stitching but I am pretty happy with the result.
