Freehand and Ruler Work

 I LOVE this quilt - it was a fun one to quilt as well - 

but the best part - Mixing Ruler work with free hand quilting... It bring the best of both worlds...

She said to get Detailed...

And so.... I had some fun!!

 And also made my eyes go dizzy haha!!

Enhancing an Antique Quilt

My Client found these old blocks in her Grandmas trunk . She put them into a top and then was stumped.

The blocks had quite a bit of puffiness and weren't flat - but they were Grandmas - so you really want to use them 

I quilted half feathers in each petal and that really worked in the fullness for us to continue ... and surprisingly - it was pretty flat and square when all was said and done!

I am completely booked for the rest of 2021 - but... I will have appointments for 2022... if your thinking of getting some quilts Quilted!

Diamond Crosshatching

 Got a little Diagonal Crosshatching going on today. This quilt is so cool - my client used all greens and whites - its more white that green at the top and transitions to more green that white at the bottom - Such a Cool Effect!!!

Antique and Antique-ish quilts

I loved quilting on this quilt.

The antique fabrics are so rich and colorful

and reminds me of the days I would go to Grandmas and she would let me play in her fabrics.

I didn't know what a blessing that was...

And this one!

Its a great Christmas wall hanging - 

I like this one 

Its antique-ish 

but made of all new fabrics!

Another Great Week

I have such fun getting to see all the different quilts my clients make!!

From Batiks

To Solids

To Grunge

I am looking forward to this week - I have a Vintage Quilt, and an embroidered quilt.... even a cat quilt!! Yay me!!!

This week in Quilting....

Happy Easter!!!

I had some fun in the Quilting Room this week. Even though it was Spring Break and my kids and I took some short trips in the state!

The above one was really neat - it was all these classic fabrics

and she wanted feathers - so I had a lot of fun

Below

This is  Quilt of Valor my Quilting group made

I quilted a Baptist fan - sort of

at the bottom of the fan - there is a swirl!

Too fun.

Another classic quilt

I must have been in Baptist Fan mode ;-)

Quilting Snippets

A few little glimpses of the Client Quilts I have been working on:


This one might look familiar - It was one of the Bonnie Hunter Mysteries... I LOVED the color choices!

This one was so fun  I got to free hand like crazy!!

The Cathedral Window part - that was made in the 50's by my clients Grandma - it wasn't finished so the relatives were going to throw it away.... She saved it, and we finished it... then made it bigger so she could display it.

it sure is fun to see the variety of quilts that my clients make - and of course, I want to make them all!!

Flashing back a bit

I am going to flash back a bit today - this is a client quilt that she liked - but was a little blah about.

Sh wasn't sure she liked so much plain fabric in the quilt ....

and so:

we added a TON of texture

This turned out great - 

she didn't want feathers as we had just feathered the heck out of another quilt of hers

Isn't that fun?

abstract Purple

My client wanted to play with her purples and make something Modern and Abstract....

I think she succeeded!

Isn't that cool?   I quilted Swirls and pebbles and squares all over it

In the workshop

I sort of feel like Santa's helper this week - it is awesome!!!  Helping folks finish up their Quilt - and knowing they are ready to gift them at Christmas!!!

Here is one that is going to a Granddaughter that loves hearts!!

Isn't that fun????

Have a great day!

T Shirt Quilts

I love watching a pile of T shirts become an important Memento to a client!

This one was for a high school graduate - she chose her favorite shirts,but wasn't really sure what was going to happen.....

Ta- da!

This! Is what happened:

Isn't that just a fun a bright Quilt?   It was fun to make too!

(PS - graduations are coming up - if you are interested in me making one for you - book your appointment soon!)

Cheryl's Quilt

I was handed this quilt from my Client Cheryl - and she said - go for it.  ( of course, we discussed the price range first )   

Here you go:

this was a really fun quilt - it had a lot of different blocks in it, but was held together by the color scheme.  

And the back!  By using a solid - wow - you could really see the quilting stand out!

Thanks for Visiting!

31 Day Blog Writing Challenge

In my minds eye - this blog was to be more about my professional part of my Quilting Life - Client Quilts, Tips, Quilts for sale..... and I am sort of hit or miss here.  I do quite well posting on my other blog - Alycia Quilts - but that is more.... well, all about me ;-)

I am joining in with the 31 day Blogging Challenge to see if I can't just make this more of a routine. And show off more of the Client Quilts that I work with.  Of course, Since it is the Christmas season - there are quite a few I can not show. In that case - I may reach back into the past quilt - either way - it will be Quilty ;-)


Today's Quilt was pieced by Judy P - and it is SUCH a great quilt! I love all the half squares on it.  She said she liked Feathers - so I went to town and did a feathers.

Isn't that a great combination of colors? The Blue Plaids and the Chicken Feed Sack type Prints.

I really enjoy collaborating with clients and making these Quilts come to life.

Tree of Life

A client of mine found these old antique Tree of Life Blocks - and she set them in the lovely quilt.

Her son asked for this quilt as his Wedding Quilt

But he wanted Trees Quilted in the blue blocks

and he sent a picture.

It sounds like the wedding went well 

and he and his new wife were tickled with the quilt.

Today's Quilt

I have the coolest quilt on the frame today. It is a Custom Quilt job - and boy is it fun:

The Borders

I just think this is going to be a cool quilt!!! 

A heart Quilt

My client brought me this quilt and said - can you fill the white with something?

Oh Boy!!! Why -yes.... Yes I can!

I had SO much fun!!  and She LOVEd it!!!

Lots of Purple

Oh I just Loved this Customer Quilt - it was such a great variety of Purples....

Ps.... Ready to have your quilt Quilted?  I am ready to help!
