Quilting for Client
This beautiful quilt is so romantic and soft pretty pastel colors. The quilt is a queen size and has amazing embroidered borders running down each side. I really enjoyed the custom quilting that I did, there were many borders and block and sashing designs.

Quilt in a Day
I really enjoy the satisfaction of having a project DONE, something to show for your time. These are great utility quilts. I also like the fact that if I find a fabric that I just love {which is the case with many Amy Butler fabrics} you can "highlight the focus fabric and not cut it up into tiny pieces and enjoy the whole lovely piece". I quilted an overall pantograph pattern "sweet william" by Kim Diamond in a blue thread, to have high contrast on the white backing to "show" the quilting. We use this in our family room, on the deck in the summer by the pool...it gets used and used, I've washed it and it is loved.

Quilting for Client
This lady does beautiful applique work. I quilted some very intricate designs between the applique spaces. Her classic use of yellow, red and black is very striking.

Quilt for Friends Baby
This quilt was a pre-printed panel with adding a couple of borders. A princess pantograph was quilted and a high lofty batting was used to give a more of a comforter feel. Turned out really cute.

French Roses Quilt
This was a very fun raw edge applique quilt to make, I added a raw edge binding to create more texture and then jeweled the center of the flowers with crystals for a little punch. I really like the soft romantic colors of the quilt. I quilted in pink thread roses of course.

Quilt in a Day-Giraffe Panto & Border
This is another quick quilt, use a focus fabric for center and add a couple of borders. I used a very high loft batting for this one and it worked real well for the purpose I intended. This was a very fun design to quilt.
Column Quilt-Carousel Stitch-Carmel Thread
These Column quilts are lovely....they highlight those beautiful fabrics that you can't bear to cut up into tiny pieces and are extremely quick to make.
