Slow Posting - But I AM Working!

 I know I've been slow posting as of late but I HAVE been working.  I recently finished two customer quilts that requested my pantograph designs...woohoo!

Here's a few shots of Darlene's quilt...she requested Felicity for this lovely spring quilt:

...and here are a few shots of Cindy's quilt...she requested Sonnet.  I mistakingly went with the Petit version...me oh my it took me a LONG time on this over sized queen quilt!  Cindy loves to send me huge quilts so I always smile when she tells me she has a "small" one coming my way...

In other works I have a large queen on the frame that is being custom quilted and a couple of really beautiful projects on the way!  More photos to come!  :)

Cindy's Quilt Finished - Deja Vu Panto

I am SO happy with how this quilt turned out!  I have an older APQS and I am not sure if it is an early design flaw or simple wearing from being an older used machine but I have always struggled with pantographs.  Being that Urban Elementz has given me the amazing opportunity to co-design for them, I wanted to use my pantographs and have them come out just as pretty as all my other quilts!  AH!  So I spent some time fiddling with my  machine trying to come up with a solution, and I bought a few aluminum strips that I use as a support so that I can stitch without the table on my machine.  OH what a difference it made!!!  No more womply curves - and a whole new world of quilting has just opened for me!  :)

Here is Cindy's gorgeous quilt (she always sends amazing quilts, truly!) with Deja Vu stitched out onto it...

Oh I am just so happy with how elegant it came out.  I am in love.  :)  I'm so happy that Cindy was also pleased too and I am thinking I might put together a few baby quilts and use some of my new pantographs on.  Yay!

Waiting for my roll of batting to arrive and I will be working next on Bobbie's Sew Spooky quilt - she has been waiting for MONTHS and I bet she is super excited to see some photos!  I am excited too!  :)

Happy Quilting!

Laura's Quilts - Free Hand Allover Quilting

Just sharing a few shots of Laura's quilts!  She requested a medium density all over E2E design similar to what I've done in the past for her.  Here is what I came up with to coordinate with her quilts.  I will try and get a couple full shots when I pull the second quilt off the frame today!  :)

These are both all over edge to edge free hand designs.  ;)
