A Quilting I will Go!

Since quilting is something I love doing, I thought I would share some of the quilts that I have quilted for other people. These quilts were not pieced by me, but by some of my customers. They piece the top and then bring them to me and I quilt the quilts for them! Enjoy the eye-candy!

This first quilt I just finished last week. It was a T-Shirt quilt a lady made for her son - they are from Chrisman, Illinois, could you tell? The thread I used was Glide on top and Prewound Glide Delites in the bobbin. Love those threads - they never break and work so well! I did some 'fire' in one of the red shirts with red thread, and the rest of the time I just used a grey-colored thread that work well for everywhere else. Except I did use black or red in the black t-shirts. I just did a meander in the borders and some swirls in the corner blocks.






This quilt was from a lady who wanted this quilted for her daughter's wedding as a gift. The lady made it from scraps and hand pieced it all with her grandmother, who passed away quit a long time ago. So her daughter will be the recipient of a quilt that was pieced by her mother and great-grandmother! How awesome is that? The lady just wanted me to do an all-over pattern, but I told her that I couldn't do that to this quilt - that it needed special handling and quilting. So she paid the extra money to have it custom-quilted and she is so glad she did! I loved doing this quilt - my first time to cross-hatch, but I gained confidence by taking classes from Karen McTavish!
