Road Trip 2023 Quilt Top

Posted in Quilting, tagged , , on June 17, 2023| Leave a Comment »

Remember back in March when we took that epic road trip to Missouri for fabric acquisition? (Read more about it here.) Well, I designed a quilt that features a block that represents each of the states that we stopped and shopped in along the way. I call it Road Trip 2023. Here is my version of the quilt using fabric that I purchased on the trip. I just finished the top yesterday and plan to send it out to be quilted. I gave each of the quilters who went on the trip this pattern and I know a couple of them are making there own versions of the quilt. I can’t wait to see how they turn out.

A Fiddler’s Quilt

Posted in Quilting, tagged , , , , on June 15, 2023| 1 Comment »

A few years ago Brother decided that he wanted to learn to play the fiddle. So he taught himself how! Now he goes to fiddle fests and Bluegrass jams and fiddles and fiddles. I wanted to make him a special quilt. I decided that a large fiddle applique playing with darks against lights would be best. I like how it turned out but once Wendy Hughes, long-arm quilter extraordinaire, performed her magic it turned into an incredible quilt. Thanks Wendy! I love it…and I just heard from Brother. I mailed it to him and he got it today. He loved it too! 🙂

Sandy’s Special Quilt

Posted in Quilting, Serendipity, tagged , , , , , on May 27, 2023| Leave a Comment »

Sandy is Lincoln’s sitter. She has been with us even before Lincoln so she has been a family friend for a very long time. Recently she was admiring a specialty quilt that I made for another friend and I told her I would make one for her that featured something she loved. Did I mention that Sandy is an amazing photograper? Well, she is. So I wanted to make her quilt with a camera theme. I asked her to send me some photographs she had taken….some of her favorites. Having received them I started laying out a design that would include a camera and film and this is what I came up with. The camera and film roll are applique. The black and white film is pieced fabric made to look like film. I printed Sandy’s photos on EQ8 Satin Printable Fabric Sheets. The border fabric with cameras I got through Joann’s. This quilt took way more time in planning than I anticipated but I was happy with the results. And I think Sandy liked it!

Love this Jelly Roll Quilt

Posted in Quilting, tagged , , on May 10, 2023| 3 Comments »

Lincoln wasn’t happy that I didn’t let him jump up on this quilt for the photo so he jumped up in the window seat and stuck his tongue out at me. LOL! I love this jelly roll quilt. I have been trying to alter some jelly roll patterns to make them into Quilt as You Go patterns and have done several over the last month but this is by far my favorite. I love a scrappy look in a quilt and I just adore this group of fabrics. I used “Flea Market by Lori Holt” for Riley Blake Designs jelly roll. It is just perfect for this quilt. We have an upcoming Jelly Roll class at The Studio with two seats left. Check it out here if you are interested in learning what to do with those amazing jelly rolls.

Around the World with Jack

Posted in daily painter, Quilting, Workshop/Retreat, tagged , , on May 2, 2023| Leave a Comment »

This is a super fun quilt to make. While it looks time consuming because of all the blocks there is a secret to it that makes it go so fast…..plus all your seams will line up beautifully. Another big bonus is that it takes only a small amount of each fabric and you can even use fat quarters. You know you have been buying them so now you can use them! 🙂 Here is the link with more information and to register to be sure to get your spot!
