Home Town quilt from Quilting and More...

I’ve been working on a quilt that began as a BOM at my local quilt shop, but. halfway through the monthly releases, the shop gave everyone the option of going ahead and getting all of the rest of it right away. I took them up on it, as I do prefer to work on a […]

Birds in the Window from Quilting and More...

It’s finished! I’d worried that this quilt might not be finished in time for the birthday for which it’s intended, but I have about ten days to spare. Whew! The design came from the Wonderfil Threads site (you have to write them and ask for the link; it isn’t readily visible any longer) and was […]

» Quilting and more ...

It’s finished — finally! I’d pieced this top ages ago and was “stuck” on how to quilt it until Lisa Calle came to my rescue with some suggestions. It was mostly ruler work, which was a challenge on my lovely Bernina 790Pro — a domestic machine. That involves pushing the quilt sandwich through the machine, […]

Torture! from Quilting and More...

I made this quilt top several months ago and then waffled forever (as usual for me) about how I wanted to machine quilt it, finally getting some ideas from Lisa Calle, whose work is amazing. I have to say that I really love free-motion work (especially feathers), though I have a long way to go […]

Quilting Koi Pond from From My Carolina Home

I’ve been working on quilting the Koi Pond wall hanging, and the plan got more complex as I went along. When we left off, I had loaded the piece on the longarm and ruled out using a pantograph. The backing is a purple background morning glory print with the same colors as the top. I put Dream Green batting between the layers. I’m using this batting as much as I can, we have to support the market for our recycled plastics. Now, I am going to do a custom quilting job.

After stitching down the edge, I did ...

Reclaiming Fallen Feathers from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome! Today is a special post for Project Quilting (PQ) 16.5, "Follow Your Arrow". This little FMQ (free motion quilted) piece recalls Icarus' flight.

Free Motion Mavericks for March 20th

Please note that I'm not able to host Free Motion Mavericks this week, so the linking party is below. Hubby was operated but is doing quite well. Thanks!

Note: It would seem that I'm still having problems with dates and time

Progress on the Small Blue Scrappy Quilt from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome. I didn't spend much time in my studio but I did finish FMQ (free motion quilting) my child-size blue scrappy quilt. It had been a while and I had forgotten how much I love FMQ!

Another bag from Quilting and More...

I am absolutely crazy about this bag pattern. I’m not sure why, exactly, but it really is nice that it opens up into a flat “tray” for handy access. That’s really nice when I need to just toss some things to the side for easy use later. This is the third one I’ve made, though […]

Feather Table Runner... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

I am in the mood for applique'

I recently purchased this feather pattern...

I cut all the feather shapes from

Jelly & Jam Fabric by Fig Tree...

The pieces are backed with fusible web...

All of the pieces have been pressed into place

on the white background fabric...

All of the shapes have been stitched

all the way around...

It is sandwiched with batting and

spray basted with 505 Spray...

I started out quilting swirls on the feathers...

I am happy with it already !

White thread on white fabric...

time for some FUN quilting

quilting shows up so nicely on fabrics ...
