This quilt is made from a pattern published by Missouri Star Quilt Company and they call it "Oberlin". I used it recently as the basis for a larger quilt - I put four of these together and added a border - but this grey and white smaller custom version was the one I first intended… Continue reading Custom Quilting Ohio Star

Custom Quilting on a baby quilt panel
Just wanted to share this cute baby quilt I worked on this week for a client who requested a combination of computerized and free motion quilting. Â She wanted custom quilting on the inner panel and a digital design for the outer edges. Â And she chose wool batting which gave this quilt so much texture! Â I… Continue reading Custom Quilting on a baby quilt panel
Time Flies – and so do flies and bees and ants and other such outdoor summer kinds of things…
I am soooo far behind in posting here; I just checked and it's been a month! Â I knew I had a lot to catch up on but a whole month? Things have been buzzing along in my studio this past while, including my first bee of the season which, as anyone who knows me well… Continue reading Time Flies – and so do flies and bees and ants and other such outdoor summer kinds of things…
Free Motion Graffiti Quilting
Happy Hump Day! (yeah, I know, sounds kind of weird but I'm told that in the present day that's what working people call Wednesday...getting over the hump for the week!) I recently posted this short video on Youtube - sped up, of course - showing some playtime free motion quilting I did on a practice… Continue reading Free Motion Graffiti Quilting
A Happy Accident
Burnt orange is supposedly a trending color for 2019.

So I thought I'd go with it, dive in, and make a quilt in this… Continue reading A Happy Accident

After several days of working on cementing some of the basics of edge to edge computerized quilting in my brain, I was feeling the need to get in some of my favourite hand guided free motion quilting. I loaded up a practice quilt sandwich, lowered the belts, and spent some time playing on my new… Continue reading Just Stitching – free motion fun
Custom Computerized Quilting on my Gammill
After practicing some edge to edge designs on a few quilts this past week, I went ahead and tried some custom work using computerized patterns. This quilt has a lot of wide open space, but it is pieced together in rows so, for the most part, I chose designs for each row. Â When I got… Continue reading Custom Computerized Quilting on my Gammill
My Gammill is Here!
I would like to introduce you to my new Gammill Statler Stitcher (fondly referred to for now as my "personal assistant" until I can come up with just the right name for it! LOL) Â It arrived a week ago, has upped the decor level in my quilting room by several points, and is performing like… Continue reading My Gammill is Here!
Longarm machine comparison
I'll bet from the title of this post that you're expecting me to give you a chart of some kind, with various brands and features, and present myself as an expert on the subject! Â That's not happening. First of all, I'm no expert on anything other than my own opinion. Secondly, writers of blogs choose… Continue reading Longarm machine comparison
