Just pulling this off the frame and couldn't wait to share! @heathersnacks hit it out of the park with all these yellow prints. It was so fun noticing all of the different ones, and this was just so bright and cheerful in the studio. #sometimescrafterlongarmquilting

This Neptune quilt by @sewdanasew is a few quilting jobs back now. (I have gotten so bad about being on here and sharing client quilts. I need more hours in the day.) Dana requested something custom and I came up with a simple, semi-custom design that played off the piecing, and wasn't too dense. We used wool batting, so there was a nice poof to the quilting. #sometimescrafterlongarmquilting

Time to share @duringquiettime Handkerchief Garden

Time to share @duringquiettime Handkerchief Garden quilt. This past week she shared about it, so I wanted to be sure to post a few more photos here for you to see the completed piece. Her quilt is composed of blocks from her book Petal + Stem, and also from her Autumnal Bouquet pattern bundle. Amy likes dense quilting, so we went with half-inch grid in the background and, for the most part, half-inch spacing on the piecing. It was an intense quilting job.
.
When I do something like this I utilize the Statler (computer) to set up each open space and quilt the lines. I'm sure there's quilters out there that will say it goes fast with a ruler, and that might be true for some, but the accuracy in quilting this was important. I knew with such a tight quilting, and seam lines everywhere, that if things were off it would be noticed, and decided utilizing the computer would be the best option.
.
I was able to space the lines 1/4-inch on either side of seam lines and then evenly space the lines between. By doing that, if they were slightly off of 1/2-inch, you could never tell because they are evenly distributed in the open space. This is also why I opted to quilt small sections at a time, because fabric shifts and moves and if I went from one side to the other, all in one programming, by the time I got to the other end, all that shifting would result in seam lines off by quite a bit. Nothing is perfect, especially with fabric, but I like for it to be as perfect as possible.

I've been embroidering some of my sketches in the evening and finally got around to spritzing away the blue lines today. I'm thinking this will just staying a hoop on the wall, but also think it would be a cute wall hanging with some patchwork pieces around it. You can see the original sketch over on my other feed @christinalanecreates if you feel so inclined. #embroidery #embroideryflowers

Another sneak peek at @duringquiettime quilt. I'll share it in full once she has it up on her feed. It was some intense quilting! #sometimescrafterlongarmquilting #customquilting #gammillquilting #gammillstatlerstitcher

While I am pretty active on my Stories, I find I go weeks without sharing on my feed. I have been busy over here in the studio, working away on this 1/2-inch grid in the background of @duringquiettime quilt. It's a slow process (for me, anyway) but it's worth it when you see the end product. I'm so pleased with how this is turning out. My thread order from 3 weeks ago finally arrived, so I'll be able to quilt within the shapes now, but I think I'll finish the background grid first. #sometimescrafterlongarmquilting #customquilting #gammillquilting #gammillstatlerstitcher #longarmquilting

I noticed my feed was lacking vibrant color of late, with the thick coating of snow in my recent photos, so today is a perfect day to share @mne_textiles colorful Lonestar quilt I quilted for her recently. It was such a lovely punch of color for this drab time of year, and it was so well done for all those bias edges and Y-seams. She did an amazing job on this! This was quilted with the pattern Celtic Sea and we used Poly Select batting with a light blue thread. #sometimescrafterlongarmquilting #longarmquilting #gammillquilting #gammillstatlerstitcher #quiltersdreambatting
