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…

Feathered Star Quilt
Read moreRemember 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…

Quilting Sea Glass
Read moreGood 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
Read moreI 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…

Custom Half Square Triangles
Read moreI’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
Read moreI 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!

Quilting A Traveling Quilt
Read moreToday i’m sharing another quilt quilted with the Gingersnap pattern. It’s such a nice, versatile pattern on quilts. This is Heather O’Brian’s Instagram Traveling Quilt, made with contributions from several other gals in their group (she blogged about the top here). It was amazing to see in person, so bright and cheerful! My favorite kind of quilts to work on. Just walking into my studio and seeing something so…

Quilting Cheerios
Read moreA few months before I quilted Angela’s fox quilt, I quilted her Cheerio quilt. I loved all of her fabric choices, and while this was the first time i’d seen this quilt pattern, I thought the fabrics worked perfectly with it. It’s a Thimble Blossom pattern, and when I think of Angela’s style, I can’t help but think of Camille Roskelley, too. I gave Angela a few designs to choose from,…

Quilting Foxes
Read moreI quilted this adorable fox quilt back in April for Angela. It is baby size, and was such a fast quilt, that I didn’t even get anything on Instagram of this one. Angela asked for woodgrain quilting, so I sketched out an idea and then free-motion quilted it on. She wanted woodgrain, but not too dense, so the quilt was still soft and snuggly. I think the quilting achieved just…
