I just finished machine-quilting a quilt made by my friend Tamah. It is always a pleasure to work on a well- made and beautiful quilt. I was tempted to keep this one... it looked great in my house.

UFOs and cats

I don't know what there is about cats and quilters, but every quilt studio needs a cat or two. Sammy is now discovering the joys of my sewing room...he is fascinated with all of my gadgets, especially my bobbins. I now have to put all the dangers away, and there are quite a few in my sewing room. It is like having a toddler around. 

I have been busy finishing up my Primitive Gatherings "Folk Album" wool quilt. It has been a pleasure working on this for the past 3 years (no - really, I am not kidding). I love hand-appliqueing with wool, especially these beautiful hand-dyed wools. I decided that because all of the applique was done by hand, it deserved to finished off with hand-quilting. It was worth all the work - it really is beautiful.

I have also finished machine quilting a Carolina Lily quilt for Tamah, which came our really nice.

Last but not least here are some updated pics of Kip and Sam, who are having the best time together.

Baby quilt

I just finished machine quilting a baby quilt for my friend Janet. I love working on baby/kids quilts, I don't know what it is about them, I guess they are just delightful. This one was perfect for quilting; in the area around the bunny I did in a small stipple which makes the applique pop. And the feathers around the circle make it pop even more.  This was fun!

Machine Quilting

I have decided to try my hand at machine quilting as a business. I have been machine quilting my own quilts for years and really enjoy it. A few members of my quilting bee have asked me to provide this service. I am honored that they have confidence in me and trust me with their beautiful quilt tops.

I will be charging 1.5 cents per square inch, plus the cost of the thread. I prefer to work on quilts no larger than full size as I machine quilt on my domestic machine.
I will be posting a list of prices plus pictures of my work. Feel free to contact me or come over to see samples.

Here are a few examples of my work:
