Some Quilting Examples
Click on the sample to learn more about the quilt you see.
Baby Quilt
This is just such a cute little quilt that I did for a customer. I just added some cute designs to pull the piecing together.
Be You Quilt
I did this quilt for my niece who was headed to PA school. I just loved how it had a bit of "negative space" for me to go crazy in, and also some fun lines to follow in the fabric.
Sampler Quilt
I will often join a "Block of the Month" quilt along to gain new skills and work outside my comfort zone. this is one of those quilts. I chose the colors and each block is from a different designer. I wanted to highlight what made each block unique so every one is different. I backed it with minky ('cause who doesn't LOVE minky) and it will be a gift for a client who is turning 21 this year!
Rainbow Quilt
Just a super fun rainbow quilt. I didn't want to take away from the beautiful colors so I used ruler-work to simply highlight the blocks.
Nature's Wisdom
This one is mine - one of my first free-motion panels. I just love trees and the colors and layout of this panel was something I couldn't pass up. I used outlining, fill, and trapunto (in the leaves) to make the images within the panel pop.
Hexi Cabin in Blues
I made this quilt during the Minnesota Quilt Show - it was a class with Heather Peterson of Anka's Treasures (Love her and her fabrics). I had fun quilting this because of all of the "negative space" (for those who are not familiar with the phrase - it means a great deal of open space to fill in with quilting!). I outlined the applique pieces to make them stand out and replicated the shape of the flowers within the quilting. This is a classic example of how custom quilting differs from computerized or all-over quilting.
Seaside Quilt
Loved the colors on this one and made it for a lovely young lady who loves the ocean!
Winter Wonder Quilt
This is a pattern from Quilt Addicts Anonymous. I loved the colors and the layout. It was my first attempt at ruler-work - and I have thankfully improved a great deal since making this quilt. But free-motion quilting is a journey. You get better with each and every quilt.
Purple Quilt on Longarm
I wanted to show you how the quilts look when they are on the long-arm. This quilt was made for a wonderful gal who is studying nursing and just needed a hug from those she loved every night. One of the MANY reasons I love quilts!! Made with love.
Special Guests
This beauty is one that I submitted to the Minnesota Quilt Show in 2023 (I will let you know if I get any ribbons). All of the applique was a challenge but I chose my favorite colors knowing they and I would be very good friends before the quilt was done. I hope to have a picture of the entire quilt up on the site in July so you can see the whole thing. It was a lot of fun to make and to quilt.
Mandala Wall Hanging
This is a beautiful mandala and is an example of how you don't need to do a lot of quilting to make the piece unique and cohesive. The mandala stands out (as it should) and the quilting just pulls it all together into a lovely wall hanging.
Hexi Cabin in Reds
You have seen this one before - above in blue. I made this one and my older sister fell in love with it. How could I NOT give it to her given all of her support and guidance along my quilting journey! Love ya Kimmy!!
Flower Quilt
This is a charity quilt that I did for Minnesota Quilters. I just loved the bold prints and had a lot of fun outlining the leaves and flowers and then pulling it all together with both feathers and straight lined borders.
