Longarm Quilting

  • Mod Blooms // Wish Quilt

    Sometimes Crafter June 26, 2020

    Since we’re on the topic of Amy’s Petal + Stem book this week, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about one of the quilts I helped her quilt for the book.

  • Garden Whimsy // Quilting Ideas

    Sometimes Crafter June 22, 2020

    So you’ve been diligently sewing your rows every 2 weeks for the Garden Whimsy Quilt-along and now you’re thinking to yourself: How should I quilt it? That’s where I come in, I’m going to give you a few ideas that are a bit more intricate (perhaps if you’re taking it to a longarm quilter), as well as a few less intimidating ideas you could accomplish on your domestic machine. If you’re not sure what i’m even talking about, the Garden…

  • Going The Extra Mile

    Sometimes Crafter March 22, 2019

    Yesterday I posted some photos on my Instagram stories about repairing foundation paper pieced blocks in a quilt i’ll be quilting for a client. I made a “highlight” on my profile page with all the posts if you’re interested in seeing how I go about making FPP repairs, but that’s not what today’s post is about. Today I wanted to talk about the business of longarm quilting and offering services like this for your clients. I had a couple of…

  • Feathered Star Quilt

    Sometimes Crafter January 26, 2018

    Remember the days when I use to blog daily…yeah, me either.  It’s been so long since I’ve done any regular blogging and every year I tell myself this is the year I get back on track.  It just never seems to happen.  Social media has taken a backseat to actual life more and more every year.  I had a Facebook for years and I officially got rid of it two years ago.  Best decision I ever made.  I still like…

  • Quilting Sea Glass

    Sometimes Crafter April 3, 2017

    Good afternoon!  It’s sunny and bright here in the Pacific Northwest today and i’m feeling so productive, so I thought while I had a quilt going in the background i’d take a moment to pop in and show you some photos of Amy Friend’s Sea Glass Quilt I quilted for her last winter.  Its one of many quilts in her new book Improv Paper Piecing.

  • Kite Flight Quilt + Quilting Video

    Sometimes Crafter February 26, 2017

    I just recently quilted this beautiful Kite Flight quilt by Heather Wall (@heathersnacks).  If i’m remembering correctly, Heather is a new-ish quilter, and she did a really wonderful job on this.  The seams weren’t too bulky, everything laid flat and lined up well and was relatively square, which I noticed would be rather hard to achieve with all the bias seams that end up in this block.  She was going back and forth between two patterns and ultimately let me…

  • Custom Half Square Triangles

    Sometimes Crafter November 19, 2016

    I’m a little behind on sharing quilts – but when am I not behind when it comes to blogging.  I didn’t want to let anymore time pass without sharing Meredith Hobb’s gorgeous quilt.  She designed this and asked me to do some custom quilting on it, which I was more than excited to do.

  • Quilting a January Quilt

    Sometimes Crafter June 17, 2016

    I quilted this quilt back in December for Melissa Everett.  (It’s the January Quilt pattern by Lady Havertine.) This past week she entered this in the Smoky Mountain Quilter’s Quilt Show (with a couple other beauties) and it won Honorable Mention in ‘Large 2 Person Team’ and also won the ‘Modern Quilt Award’.  I think it’s well deserved for all of those pieced curves!

  • Star Bright Star White Quilting

    Sometimes Crafter June 9, 2016

    I often forget about quilts I’ve quilted that are meant for publication.  From the time I see it until it’s out there for the world to see is usually at least a year, and often longer.  As is the case with this beautiful quilt.  Rebecca Bryan of Bryan House Quilts contacted me last year to see if I could quilt this for her. It is in the most recent issue of American Patchwork & Quilting that just hit shelves last…
