As I near the close of my 5th year of providing hand guided quilting services for all you wonderful, quilty people that have touched my life, I am gearing up to go to Phase II of my longarm career. Next week, Innova #2 will be installed comp…
I’m entering my Gravity quilt into the large quilt category. Technically, it could be considered scrappy as there are 112 fabrics in it…. but I did not make from scraps so I opted for Large Category
I’m sure most of you have seen this quilt, a number of versions can be found online. I really loved making and quilting this one! My original post can be found here

This quilt is being entered into the Modern Category. The piecing is not really modern but the way I quilted it, while steeped in traditional techniques is a favored style in modern quilting.
I created this piece for our local longarm challenge, you can find that story about SUDS here. I did turn out rather cool. But I was very rushed. It was a 1 day on the longarm, no rip kind of day, also dealing with a back/shoulder aggravation due to pushing myself with all thecustome longarming that I do. I was in agony that day but I got it done. If you start looking hard at each element, some techniques and general flow of the quilt has lots of areas for improvement. But again, initial impression is good! I really love the back. I named the quilt “Fith Grade Primer”
Isn’t this adorable! This quilt was made by the WAQG bee called The Wannabees, for their biennial donation to the MD Anderson Quilt Project that they hold every 2 years. Some of their quilts travel to different locat…
Wow! Another beautiful Paradise In Blooms entrusted to me. This one was a little difficult, I knew she wanted detailed quilting but the fabrics really did not want to let the quilting outshine their own beauty. I wen…
This quilt was fun to work up. Candy’s bee made units and swapped blocks to really create a delightful scrappy mix of fabrics in this cute quilt. Once again, she created a really cute quilt. We took a scrappy modern/tradit…
Isn’t this quilt fabulous! Those scrappy colors on that black background and the way Lou Ellen finished the outer rings. WOW. We decided to go a little more bold and quilted using King Tut’s De Nile variegated thread…
Each year our longarm group holds a challenge to create a piece based on a specific pattern each year. You can modify the pattern, create any size, or even create a garment or bag. Possibilities are wide open. I did not find the time to participate last year and almost did not this year but finally decided I would take 3 days to cut, sew and quilt the top.
I opted to use just 3 blocks turned like a heart and created different fills on this. I used part of one day just to mark some grids, then all one day to quilt. It really saves time when grids are marked and you don’t have to measure over with each row! It is not a judged event, just a challenge to us personally. I tried using fills with feathers flowing on top of the grids. Also the checkerboard background I had never stitched out. It came out rather cool!
This client quilt is one I also purchased the pattern for several years ago. I hope mine turns out as nice as hers if I ever find my “round tuit”. There is a lot of space to quilt on this wall hanging. Sometimes it is hard holdi…
This quilt was so much fun to quilt. It sounds like it was fun to make also. I ghosted in hexies around the sides of the quilt. This comparison shows the difference between Hobbs 80/20 on the left and whit…
