Testing Out New Designs
I have a customer who makes quilts for the Linus Project. She is prolific in her quilt making. It’s always a challenge to do something different on these quilts. She usually give me 4 to 6 quilts at a time. Some times I use a printed pantograph. But I usually try to use these quilts […]
Quilt in A Quilters Gathering Show
I have a quilt in “A Quilters Gathering” in Nashua this year. The quilt I entered is the one I made for the MVQ challenge last year. It is titled “One of Five.” The main five blocks are called Sisters Choice. I am one of five girls. I asked each of my sisters what […]
Trip to Alaska
No, I haven’t been to Alaska. I would like to go. Especially after finishing my customer’s quilt. While vacationing in Alaska, my customer stumbled upon a shop hop being run by the local quilt shops. As part of the shop hop, each shop had a kit for a block to a quilt celebrating the 50th […]
Challenge to Myself
On January 3rd, along with a few other members of the Hanna Dustin Quilt Guild, we presented a lecture on longarm quilting. As part of that lecture I stated that I have many quilt tops that I have yet to quilt. So I have decided to challenge myself to quilt one of these tops per […]
Colorful Tee-Shirt Quilt Comlete
Okay, I completed it months ago but haven’t had the time to blog about it. My customer, Robyn, absolutely loved it. I decided upon using various blocks. Nine patch, three bar fence rail, four patch, five bar fence rail and half square triangles. There were a few pockets that were in good shape so I […]
What to Do with Colorful Tee Shirts
I have a customer whose father passed away. She has asked me to make a quilt from the t-shirts he used to wear. Most tee-shirt quilts are made from tees that have some sort of design on them. Like the ones purchased while on vacation, or from some event, or sports teams, etc. This is […]
Inspired by Peggy’s Quilt
I finished a quilting a quilt for a customer. It is just a crazy style log cabin/courthouse step block. It would be very simple to make. A great way to use up some scraps or fat quarters. You could make it any size you want by changing the block size or adding more blocks. You […]
Ellen’s Quilt is Finished
I finally finish Ellen’s quilt. I had a tough time with it though. At first the design I wanted to do in the green sashing did not look that great. Though Tom didn’t think it was all that bad. But need less to say, I had to rip it all out. I was trying to […]
Working on Ellen’s Quilt
Yeah I know. It was supposed to be a Christmas present. Between not having time and not really sure how I wanted to quilt it, I have been procrastinating on it. I have been keeping up with customer quilts. Just not my own. I spent most of this past week at the Machine Quilters Expo […]
Under the Sea
I completed a quilt for one of my customers the other day. It came out awesome. Jerusha made this quilt for her son who is a scuba diver. The quilt was a challenge for me because I wanted to incorporate many under sea creatures and a couple of scuba divers. Google is my best friend […]
