Lone Star Custom

Those of you that know me, know I love love love doing freehand feathers.  Well I definitely had my chance to do feathers on this quilt. This is a full custom with 3 thread color changes.  A wonderful quilt from my customer Lisa which will be a Christmas gift for her mother-in-law. I have a few more quilts to do before I book off for Christmas so I'd better get back at it.

T Shirt Quilt - Custom Quilting

Wow - All I can say is "man it's a busy time of the year".  I just finished custom quilting this T-Shirt quilt for my friend Jane.  What an amazing labour of love for her daughter who played volleyball for a number of years.  I tried to use a number of different fill stitches and was fairly happy with the results.

"Sister's At Heart" Wins at the Calgary Stampede

I've been meaning to post a photo of my beautiful blue ribbon but quilting got in the way - go figure.  Anyways, yes "Sister's At Heart" did win a blue ribbon at the Calgary Stampede.  I think Lynn would be proud.  This is the quilt I made in memory of my best friend Lynn who passed away August 2009.

Scrappy Flannel Quilt

Well as some of you know I do try and still get a bit of piecing done in between longarm quilting for others.  This is a scrappy flannel birthday quilt for one of my grandson's. I quilted it with a pantograph called "Sea Weed" by Lorien Quilting. But the one thing I still don't understand - is how come my scrap bin is still as full as it was??????  The pattern started out being out of Judy Marin's book but ended up being my own design - those that know me shouldn't be surprised.
