Shoeman’s Puzzle

Posted on August 6, 2012 by ginabean • 6 Comments
I finished quilting my friends beautiful Shoeman’s Puzzle today. I did some custom quilting on it.
Here is a little shot of the back. It is a stunning quilt. Kathleen did an amazing job on it. She is teaching a class on how to make it at The Little General.

 I finished quilting this really cool quilt for Laurie yesterday. I think it is pretty awesome. She made it for her daughter. I think she did a beautiful job.
The hardest part for me about quilting all of these super fabulous quilts is that I want to keep them all for myself when they are done! Wonder if any of my customers would go for that?!?

Sunday Sewing

Posted on July 15, 2012 by ginabean • 5 Comments
I finished sewing the binding down, popped this quilt in the wash, pulled it out of the dryer (my favorite part) and booked the models. This handsome model is my husband’s sweet little bull. He graciously posed beside the quilt.
The ladies stood back and looked at me like, “What the heck is this crazy woman doing?!?”
The cute little babies were just as puzzled.
I made this quilt using a great pattern called “Meadow Blocks”. If you are looking for a quilt that can be made in a day- this is it! Super quick and super easy. It’s made with 16 fat quarters and 4 yards for the backing. Cut.Sew.Done. That easy!
It is made with Jennifer Paganelli’s Crazy Love fabric. I quilted it with a panto called “Maidenhair.”
I am putting it at The Little General. She has all these beautiful fabrics and the pattern at the shop.

Don’t you just love baby quilts. My friend Linda made this one. I quilted a pantograph called 500 Fill Power on it. If you would like to see most of the pantographs I offer you can visit my business blog at ginabeanquilts.blogspot.com

 I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know we sure did!
 This is Laura’s quilt. It is gorgeous! It measures about 60″ X 60″. The border fabric has little swirls in it, so I mimicked that with a nice swirl pantograph called “Waterworld”.
Laura is going to be teaching a class on how to make this beautiful quilt in the fall at Knit One, Smock Too. I know that I would love to learn how to make this!

When Something Old Becomes New

Posted on June 30, 2012 by ginabean • 3 Comments
 This is Ellen’s quilt. It is one of the quilts I got done this week.
 There is an interesting story behind this quilt. The grandmother of Ellen’s God-daughter found these fabrics along with a sketch of how the quilt blocks where to look under her mother’s bed. She gave the sketch and the fabric to Ellen.
 Following the sketch and adding a few fabrics to it, Ellen completed the quilt. She is going to give it to her God-daughter. Now her God-daughter is going to have something started many years ago by her great-grandmother. I love the history of this quilt and I love it when something old becomes new again. This is a really special quilt.

 This has been a quilty week. I didn’t get any quilting done last week because my nephews were here for summer camp. I ran around taking Fletcher and his cousin to horse camp and entertaining them. (I’ll share pictures of camp soon.)
 So this week… I played catch up. I have gotten six quilts done this week including squeezing in my own quilt. I did a straight line, spiky kind of meander on it. I thought it would be a good contrast with the curves.
I put the quilt at The Little General. She has all of these great fabrics there.
I have pictures of some of the quilts I did this week and I will post those soon.

Tangled Webs

 This is Little Miss Angie at Stitching by Starlight’s quilt.
She designed it herself and made it up in Tula Pink’s Nightshade fabrics.
 Isn’t is amazing. I had the pleasure of getting to quilt it. It’s full of swirls (of course) and loopy thingies and such.
It is currently hanging in The Little General for all to admire. Angie is going to be teaching a class at The Little General on how to make it in the Fall. I believe that she will also be giving it out as a free pattern, so be looking for that on her blog soon. (Thanks to Angie for letting me quilt it for her and for letting me lift the pictures she took of it off her blog. I forgot to take some.)
