Liz's Embroidered Baby Quilt

Liz's mother had started this little crib quilt but never finished it so Liz decided to finish the quilt and did a really nice job of it! Perhaps a lucky future grand child will receive it!

The train's coming down the tracks!
All her ducks in a row.
A cute cross stitched rocking horse.
The backing of the quilt is green flannel with white polka dots. A very soft cozy flannel.
The front was done on a pre-quilted fabric so we just added a heart quilting called I Love It to finish off the quilt.

Barb's Table Cloth Quilt

This was a really neat idea. Barb brought over this table cloth that hadn't been used since the last time her whole family was together. It belonged to her parents so it is probably 30 or so years old. She wanted it quilted and picked a backing fabric to match. She looked over my patterns and decided on the roses with a tea cup and tea pot on it. I quilted with Dyed Natural thread and it is so neat! It is heavily quilted but with so much open space (it measures 64" X 98") it really turned out nice! So all I have to say is, go through your closets, your mother's closets, your salvation army stores and other thrift stores or antique nooks and crannies and find those table cloths and bring them over for a whole new life. I found 2 in my house that I just might make into quilts. You know, you can never have too many quilts!




















A view of the backing, really shows the quilting pattern.






Allene's Hokey Pokey Quilt!

Allene pieced this small quilt and it's very nicely done! The batik colors are so pleasing together and it was artfully set together. Wonderful quilt!
The quilt was quilted with Fisherman Red thread and the quilting pattern is called Tapestry.

Football Quilts for the Family!

And now they have a new little football fan, baby Callen born in July. GO BIG RED! Footballs cover this quilt with black thread for the Nebraska football fans!
The backing of the lap quilt shows that they are Cowboy fans!

Important Announcement!

Yesterday, August 4th, my website hosting company announced that they were closing down on Friday the 6th of August. That is giving me 2 days to find another website host and to get my website back up and running! Needless to say, my website will be down for a short time while I am building it back up under another host. I will still display all customer quilts on this site, however my quilting patterns will have to wait until I can get the website going again.

Keep checking back for my new and enhanced site which I believe will be easier to use and view without having to page through so many pages to find what you are looking for.

Also remember, if you at any time refer a new customer to me, you will receive a 10% off discount of the quilting cost of your next quilt!

Happy quilting!
