Making Progress
Linda’s Quilt
Linda’s Rainbow Rocks
I just finished quilting Linda’s Rainbow Rocks Quilt today. It was so much fun quilting this quilt. It had a lot of negative space for me to play around with. Can’t wait to give it back to her.
Ellen’s Quilt
Ellen’s Quilt
This week I quilted Ellen’s Pixilated Heart Quilt. If I am not mistaken, I think she designed this all on her own! Ellen took her first sewing lesson from me a few years back, so I think I should take half the credit for the beautiful quilt she designed and pieced. (wink, wink) I could not be more proud of her.
Amy Jo’s Quilt
Amy Jo’s Quilt
I love the quilt, I love the fabric, I love the quilting…
May or may not give it back to Amy Jo.
Log Cabin Lovely
Sue’s Quilt
I finished quilting this Log Cabin Lovely today. It’s Sue’s and it’s perfection! She did such a great job on it. Until now, I haven’t really had the best space to take full sized pictures of all of the quilts I’ve quilted. My husband took care of that for me this weekend. He put up a cable/clothes line do-ma thingy for me and now I can hang the quilts and take pictures. It’s much better sharing the whole quilt instead of just a little snippet, don’t you think!
The Positive in the Negative
I finished longarm quilting Lee’s hand appliquéd Rainbow Rocks quilt this week. She handed this quilt over to me around the first of the year and graciously agreed to let me wait until I got back from my classes with Angela Walters at QuiltCon to quilt it. I finally worked up the nerve to suck it up and put what I learned down on a quilt.
Lee’s quilt gave me the perfect opportunity to test my skills in negative space.
The Rainbow Rocks pattern is designed by my good friend, Kathleen Baden, who took a second place ribbon at QuiltCon for her amazing hand quilted version.
Diving In
I am diving in and putting what I learned and practiced on to an actual customer quilt. Ooooh, nerve racking! It feels good, though. I feel good about it. I hope to have Lee’s quilt ready for her by the end of the week.
Bring on those negative space quilts, ladies. I ready for them!
Free Motion
Free motion scares me. To think about starting on a custom quilt makes me so nervous and I tend to put them off. I have a few custom quilts I need to get done, so tonight a put a yard of flannel I had on the frame and started practicing what I think I want to put on the next quilt I have to do. I don’t know why I get so scared. This makes me happy. Really happy! I learned this technique in the Quilting Negative Space class I took with Angela Walter’s at QuiltCon. It was by far one of my favorite designs I learned from her.
