Life
has been crazy the last couple weeks. I been working hard on
completing and finishing up several quilts for the patterns we have in
final stages of development. We hope to be going to the printers here
in the next couple weeks.
I
finally received another quilt top to finish for a customer
yesterday. I finished it up late last night. The quilt top is named
"Old Glory". This Red, White, Blue star quilt top measuring 71 1/2" x 91
1/2" was made by a first time quilter. She did a fabulous job for her
first time.
The customer requested a star design pantograph. So we found "Star Dance" on the Digi-Tech Designs website. The batting that I used was Quilters Dream Black Poly with Superior So Fine Thread.
The quilt came out beautiful. Now, just waiting for the customer to pick up the quilt.
Time to get back to work on these pattern and quilt designs.

Life
has been crazy since I returned from my vacation in Minnesota. I'm
ready for another already, but there is now time right now. We are in
the final stages of getting our Pattern's ready to print. I'm so
nervous and excited at the same time. Can't wait to show them off, here
in the near future.
I did find time this past week to work on a small project that My Friend Jean sent home with me from Minnesota. When
we were at the Hingeley Road Quilt Shop in Floodwood, Minnesota she
found some batiks with wine grapes and in the color of here dining room
area. So
she asked if I would make a table runner for her, didn't have to be
fancy. So when I returned home, with all the fabric, I started playing
around in EQ7 and came up with this idea. Originally the
idea just to make 5 snowball blocks and put borders on them. then I
came up with idea of adding the family names to all the snowball blocks
with Monogram lettering, with my embroidery machine.
It took me just about a half to make the whole tablerunner including machine embroidering the names on the blocks.
The
quilting took me a day to complete, due to I put some custom quilting
around the embroidered names to make the names pop out. Lots of loop to
loop in the detail. Then I added grape leaves in the middle between each block and the borders to finish it off.
Now,
I need to get the binding on today and finished this weekend. So I can
give it to her in person next week. Cant wait to see her.
