client spotlight from Quilt Nut Creations

 Maxine has been a longarm client for I think 6yrs, maybe 7. 

I love how she uses her fabrics; and uses up every single bit that  she can in her quilts.

A lot of her quilts, she sells at a store her sister owns. 

Here are a few of recent ones from Maxine.


quilted with Popcorn 


The quilting panto Popcorn is one of Maxine's favourites so you will see it repeated often.

spookiness from Quilt Nut Creations

 I don't see very many Halloween quilts but recently I got to quilt these two.

This fun one by Karen.


How fun is this?


And the backing is fun too.


Both of these were quilted with the panto Spider Web.

And this one. 
This is fantastic.


I think this was done by Cynthia.
 Correct me if I'm wrong please!


The panto was absolutely perfect.


And how perfect is this backing?


So fun!

A Year in Review - Quilt Finishes from Appalachian Quilts

Sometimes I just don't feel like I've accomplished much when it comes to my quilting.  I have so many patterns laid out that I want to make, but I've been challenging myself to finish some of my old UFOs and flimsies first.  Then, I take a step back and look at what I did get done, and I don't feel so bad.  

The first UFO I got done this year was Christmas Ribbons.  You can bet I had it on the bed for the holidays!  I loved this fabric line.


The next completion was my Quilt ...

Woven Palette Charm from Appalachian Quilts

 I was going to name this blog post "Lesson Learned".  When I first opened the shop in 2003, Jinny Beyer fabrics were a 'big thing'.  I ordered the entire fabric line.  The shop was smaller and the only wall space I had to hang samples was the distance between the top of the fabric racks and the ceiling.  I was scrambling to get samples made and found this pattern that showcased all of the fabrics in the line.  It was perfect and I was excited to get it made up and hung.

A group of ladies came in to scope ...

Fancy Baskets from Appalachian Quilts

 Hello friends and beautiful people!  I pray you had a Merry Christmas!  Ours was full of faith, family and friends.  Thursday night we had our large family dinner with the kids and grands.  Friday night we had friends over for dinner before we all headed to church for our Christmas Eve service.  It was quite relaxing.

I did finish quilting and binding this quilt called "Fancy Baskets".  It is another older Thimbleberries pattern with Thimbleberries fabrics.  The fabric line was called Cottagewood and I really loved it - especially the plaids.  (We do have one pattern left on our website, and ...

Star Table Square from Appalachian Quilts

 This one was waiting to be custom quilted.  I've always known how I wanted to quilt it.  So, I waited....I finished quilting it last week and got it bound last night.  I was originally going to bind it in the green.  After I quilted it, I felt like it needed a *pop* of color, so I grabbed a red!


It is called Star Table Square from the book Calendar Table Toppers by Thimbleberries.   (We do have this book in stock!)  This is why I get side-tracked and we made so many quilts in several colorways.  I can see ...
