Delilah's Great Grandbaby's Quilt







I quilted this for a customer who is about to have her first great grandchild.  She pieced it using all 1930's fabrics.  It was a fun quilt to work on.

Another Quilt for Japan



I have quilted 24 quilts for the cause.  I'm almost finished and they will be shipping them out on the 30th.
 YAY!

Fairy Garden Quilt

This quilt was pieced by a 10 year old girl as a donation to Quilts for Japan.  I wanted to quilt it special.  She did a wonderful job, it was perfectly flat.   I quilted a total of 26 quilts for that cause and some were a disaster to quilt and I just meandered most of them.

Quilts for Japan



For the next couple of weeks I will be working on Quilts to help the Tsunami victums of Japan.  As of this morning 6 down and alot more to quilt.  In the interest of mass production the majority are getting quilted pretty simply but now and then I have to get creative.  Transformed this Plain Jane into a real beauty.

Baby Doll Quilt Just Finished!




I just finished quilting the cutest Baby Doll Quilt!  It has different Redwork Dolls embroidered on it in a Raspberry Color.  I did pebbleing around the embroidery and the Dolls stand out really nicely.  On the border I quilted daisys filled by a loopy meandering.

I love quilting

I have dreamed for years of being able to stay at home and make quilts all day long and finally I have my chance!  I am now starting a new career as a Long Arm Quilter and loving every minute of it.  I have the most wonderful husband in the world and he is making it possible for me to travel down this new exciting path!  We enjoy scuba diving together so I am making him a special quilt as a Thank You  making all my dreams come true.  I still have to add the silhouette of the scuba diver to it before I can put it on the Long Arm and Quilt it.   It makes such a beautiful window curtain that I sometimes think maybe I won't quilt it, maybe I'll just leave it on the window of my studio....what do you think?
