Making a change

I've decided that at this time I will only been taking quilts that need all-over patterns, and not taking any custom quilts (separate designs in blocks & borders.)

I have two kids in high school this year, and life is as busy as I'd like it to be right now.  I don't feel like I can commit the time needed to really do custom quilts justice right right now.  I may be back at it at a later date, but for now I think this is the best fit for me.

I am going to focus on all-over patterns, and will keep adding new patterns regularly.  If you'd like to use a design that I don't have, just ask, and I will find just the right fit for your quilt.

Thanks for all your business in the past, and I look forward to seeing what creative quilt tops arrive in the future!

"Lupin" pattern

Farm scene quilt

I used the Woven Wind pattern on this farm scene quilt.  I thought the pattern looked a bit like the rows of crops in the fields.

Summer Schedule

The kids are out of school for the year, and things are busier at home.... so I won't be taking any custom quilts this summer.  I am looking forward to enjoying some time outdoors for the few short months of summer we get here in Iowa.    Thanks-

T-shirt quilt

Quilter with the pattern called Slope Intercept.

T-shirt quilt

Quilted using the musical notes pattern...

Lazy daisy pattern

This one was quilted using the Lazy Daisy pattern by Anne Bright.  

Bullseye pattern

A fun, modern piecing design, quilted with the pattern called "Bullseye".

An interesting quilt with embroidered horse blocks.  I outlined the horses, and filled in the background with cross-hatching.

Custom quilting

I think the piecing pattern is called Tenneessee Waltz.  I quilter this doing a custom design.  Some parts are hand-guided, other parts are done with the Intelliquilter, like the block design.

Scrap quilt

The customer who brought this said she was using up scraps.  Isn't it striking?  Sometimes a simple piecing pattern is what is needed.  Just half-square triangles.  I quilted it using the pattern called Lupin.

A view of the back of the quilt:

Pearl swirl pattern

Used the Pearl Swirl pattern on this quilt.....

T-shirt quilt

Here's another t-shirt quilt....  This one without any sashing between the shirts.  

It was quilted with a musical note pattern, called All That Jazz.  The flannel backing fabric also has musical notes on it.

Flannel is a great choice for any quilt- really makes it soft and warm.  I suggest prewashing it, as most flannels will shrink a bit.
