Traditional Hand Quilting

This twin schoolhouse quilt features 1/8th of a inch quilting around the houses, featured circles and chains.

Scottie Dogs

Reproduction 1930's print dye cuts from Keepsake Quilting. Hand appliqued and hand quilted.

A Piece of Persian Stars

This small portion of Persian Stars shows the background echo quilting. Echo quilting 1/4" apart.

A mini

This is a portion of a series of hand pieced minis done by a wonderful long term customer. Her hand piecing amazes me. The circles are approximately 3 inches each. The green tape was used as a guide for the hand quilting. Echo quilting done every 1/4 inch.

Sailboats II

This is the second in a series of sail boat baby quilts. It has 4 sailboats by 4 sailboats with no border.
For the next one I want to add more water to the design with clam shell quilting lines.

My IBOL

This week on my day off besides quilting I worked on putting together my Bundle of Love. I read about IBOL on Lakeside Quilting and got to work. My APO box is filled with 20 yards of cotton fabric, sewing notions and knitting needles. As always Squeakey supervised my choices.

Silk Repair

My brother-in-law, Rob, an avid antique collector found this old silk quilt. It was severely worn. In the middle there was a hole through all three layers - probably from a mouse.
I appliqued silk pieces on top of the worn areas and hand quilted the same design.
The border and binding was in good shape.
The hardest part of the project was finding the silk to applique.
I understand it is now hanging over a second story railing away from the dogs.
