Grant’s quilt

Grant’s quilt

 

Wendy made this quilt for one of the kids she’s a nanny to.  Pretty nice, uh?!  I’ve got another one in the queue for one of the other kids.  Wendy is a great sewer and quilt maker.

 

 

 

 

 

The pantograph is Wind Blown Leaves and the batting is Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton select.

 

Have a great weekend!  I’ll be spending it with my sisters celebrating one my sister’s landmark birthday!

Just keep stitching!  Thanks for looking.

Looking back..

Looking back..

 

Today is my sister’s birthday!  I did not give her a quilt this year but here’s a couple pics of the quilt I gave her in 2004, just a few months after I got my longarm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I started this quilt at a retreat in January sponsored by Rainbows and Calico Things quilt shop.  The delectable border was fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The quilting is a simple meander, perfect for a beginner but I still like it!

 

 

Happy Birthday Marge!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Candy’s quilt

Candy’s quilt

Looking through my pictures, I found a recent quilt by Candy.  It’s a very fun quilt using brights and 5″ squares.  Any ideas for a name?

We used Spiral Path pantograph for the quilting design,  Superior King Tut variegated thread and Quilter’s Dream Poly select batting.

Candy’s getting to the end of her Double Nickel Quilt Challenge, check her blog for updates and her progress!

LAQ Sneak Peak

LAQ Sneak Peak

I’ve been busy custom quilting multiple items for one customer and haven’t posted  pictures lately.  So here’s a sneak peak of the last one I’m working on and will hopefully finish soon.  More to follow when they’re done!

Thanks for looking.  And if you recognize this quilt, don’t tell Janann!

Bloggers’ Quilt Festival! My Amy Butler Apron Quilt

Bloggers’ Quilt Festival! My Amy Butler Apron Quilt

This is my first time joining the Bloggers’ Quilt Festival!  Check out Amy’s Creative Side for all the details.  There are so many awesome quilters out there!  Thanks for sharing!

This is one of those projects that starts as something else when you buy the fabric!  I bought this great Amy Butler fabric to make a reversible apron but when I came home from the store and read the apron pattern….well, the fabric went into the stash!  What was I thinking!  Years later, after getting a tumbler template, I cut up all that apron fabric and this quilt was born!  Using my design floor, I decided on this arrangement.  I challenged myself to leave the edges and this is my first attempt at a shaped border.

It  measures 63″ x 81″, so I think it makes a much better quilt than apron!

 

 

Thanks for looking!  And just keep stitching!
