Pictogram


This customers quilt was made using templates and her domestic sewing machine - she used some of the built in fancy stitches on her machine. It was not done using an embroidery machine. She did a great job and I loved quilting it. Take a look.

Dance!

I am so happy to be finished this wall hanging. 
It was started in a class by Kim Caskey called Story People. 
We used a favourite quote or phrase as inspiration for this free flowing wall hanging. 
Techniques used include: curved piecing, raw edge appliqué, trapunto, and machine quilting.

Harvest table runner


This is a customers quilt. She plans to use it on her table. 
I love the colours and prints she chose :)
I did custom quilting in each block and the back looks as good as the front.

Star Quilt - long arm quilting

This whimsical customers quilt was fun to quilt. I started with a border from a "Follow the line Quilting Designs" by Mary Covey. I think the house and tree border suits the quilt well. I then echo quilted inside and around each appliqué. To finish, I free hand filled in the blue background with at star / swirl design and on the snow with an open seashell.
