Here are three customer quilts that I did this week.  Three quilts all done with the Baptist Fan groovy board.  Each one has its own personality.

I'm sitting down for this one.  Gotta love those micro handles!!!  This quilt is 84x86 with lots of hexagons.  So for this one, I pulled up a stool and put on my micro handles.  Plugged in a book to listen to on my Ipod and away I go!!

Have you ever dragged a chenille project through your sewing machine?  Well, never again!! This little baby quilt was done on my HQ Fusion in 2 hours!!  Even cutting the channels!

Just finished this customer quilt.  The piecing was perfect. I am told it is an older pattern by Atkinson Designs.  I used my Pro Stitcher along with my circle rulers for continuous curve.

My customer brought this over last night for me to quilt for her granddaughter.  (If you look thru my blog, she is the one quilting with the groovy board circles.) 

I used Anne Bright's pattern Soft and Sweet from the January 2011 club.  I am having a blast with ...

Business is good!  Quilters have been snowed in and finishing their UFO's.  January and now February have been very good for my long arm business.  Here are some of the quilts that I have done.  More to come in the next few days.  Enjoy!

These are two quilts that I made in the month of Dec. for the holiday seasonl.  The Figgy Pudding quilt was a free pattern from Moda.  It is hanging on the wall in my studio.  The "window" quilt is my tablecloth.  I bought a large sheet of plastic to put ...

I just finished this baby quilt using the circle groovy board.  So much fun!

I am loving these new HQ rulers!  Oh, I  think I said that in another post.  Anyway the circle rulers with all the sizes are great for those large continuous curves!

I took in this gorgeous applique quilt from one of my favorite customers.  She does a phenomenal job with the piecing.

Again I used my new HQ rulers, the Swag and the right angle.  Fantastic!!!

She will pick this up on Wednesday.  I can't wait for her to see ...

I just finished this quilt using the new clamshell and swag rulers.  I love, love, love them!!

This is what I did over the Labor Day holiday!  It doesn't matter what the day, any day quilting is a good day!!

Sometimes its just impossible to see the thread on the quilt.  With the black light option on the Fusion this is no longer a problem.

Without light

With black light

I really like the looks of this panto.  It is called Noveau Scallops by Lorien Quilting.  I used it on two different quilts.  '

Well, I am back from the Knoxville show and home for a week before the Milwaukee Machine Quilters Show.  Time to catch up on customer quilts.  If any of you are in the S. Indiana area, we are having a truckload sale at Sharryn's Quilt Box, in N. Vernon ...

Yesterday I posted a photo of a striking quilt that I used the Groovy board circles on.  Tonight I had the pleasure of the customers granddaughter coming over and quilting her own.  This lovely nine year old was a quick learner and just as proud as can be with her ...

This quilt was done with the Groovy board.  It took awhile but I love the end result.

I just finished this quilt for a lady that found me online from South Dakota.    This is the 2nd one that I did for her.

Its been awhile since I posted.  Been busy, but have a short break between shows and catching up on customer quilts.  Here is the latest that I quilted.

Yesterday my good friend asked if I could quilt a baby quilt she made.  Of course I said yes.  I had to share this because embroidery is not something I do.  It is so sweet!  What a lucky little girl to receive this!

As promised here is the photo of the finished quilt, where I used my black light.

I finally got to quilt with my blacklight on today!  It was just to cool!  I will post the quilt (my quilt) when finished.  Here is a photo with the blacklight on and one without.  Thanks to Debby for the quilt pattern.

My customer collected business cards on her shop hops and made a quilt.  Imagine that!

My customer gave me permission to post photos of her quilt.  She hasn't seen it yet, and won't get it until Sunday.  (Suzanne- did you peek??)

This is a Marti Michell BOM called Jamestown.

Happy New Year!!  I have been busy at work with customer quilts.  I just finished 2 identical quilts done in the Moda U club at the local quilt shop.  I am pleased with the way they turned out and thought I would share.

Love doing feathers.

And the back

I finally did it!  I upgraded to the HQ Fusion.  Wow!  What a machine!  I just finished my first customer custom quilt and I am thrilled how it turned out. 

And for those who have been following my studio construction,  I now have an additional 2 feet of closet space ...

I recently joined the Anne Bright monthly club.  This month was a Halloween theme.  I put together a small table mat and stitched out the design.  What fun!!

This is my first attempt at a wholecloth quilt.  I used a satin type fabric with Isacord thread.  The batting is one layer each of Hobbs Wool and Hobbs 80/20.  Inside the circles I used my Micro Handles.  I randomly put the circles on with my Pro Stitcher.  There ...

Just had to share these 2 quilts.  They were made by sisters.  I freehanded each one of them.

This is my first attempt at discharging.  I can't wait for the spring and new leaves to grow on the trees.  I want to do another.  I quilted the inside using my micro handles with thread from Jenny Haskins.  Inside the leaves the veins are Signature Pixelles and the ...

Well, except for one piece of trim, my new studio is up and running.  Just try and drag me out of here!!

My new closet

I was so excited when my husband hung my quilt!  (It usually takes longer than this).

This quilt has been on the shelf since the day I bought my HQ16.  Today it is quilted and tomorrow will be bound!

I'm really having fun combining my Pro Stitcher with

freehand!

I am so pleased with how this turned out.  Just need to whip down the binding and it will be delivered on Friday.

Here are the last two blocks.  Champagne glasses complete with bubbles...

and my version of the Tree of Life.

I really wasn't planning on repeating a design, but this was so pretty I had to...

This was the first purchased pattern I bought for the Pro Stitcher. It was from Digi-Tech.

The next two blocks...

One more row to go!  Then I turn it and finish the borders.

This is my latest customer quilt.  I have her permission to put into this blog.  Thanks Polly!

I get to use all my toys on this one.  There are 10 plain blocks in which I digitized designs and am using my Pro Stitcher.  My micro handles are being used for ...

How many quilts can I get from this one box? 

Here is #1

This pattern is from Quiltville.

Here is #2 from Atkinson Designs

I'm working on #3 but need to get back to customer quilt.

Yeah!  It's finally here.  The carpet was just laid, the men are gone, and I'm ready to move what I can.

Still some trim work, one more light fixture, but I can work around that.  I will post the final pics in a day or two.

You never know how large a room really is until you have to paint it...twice!!!!

2 walls to go and that makes 2 coats.  The carpet will be here Thurs. instead of Friday so I will be able to move back in a day earlier.

This is work, I ...

Well, we are all done hanging drywall, priming and patching holes.  Tomorrow I start to paint.  All 27 feet.  I picked out a light brown? latte color. Carpet is being laid on Friday.  Hopefully I can get them to come earlier as my house is a complete disaster!!  I am ...

Well, we are done for the day. 

One door is framed up.

See that indent in the floor.  That is where the closet used to be.  I could easily fit 5-6 rolls of batting in there.  The door in the back is also a closet, but it is also the ...

It's noon and the wall is down!!

Tomorrow morning at 10:00 am eastern time, the wall between these 2 rooms will be removed.  I am in desperate need of more space, and as this house is minus a basement, this is the next best thing.  I am going from 13' x 11.5' to 27'x ...

The only downside to doing a block of the month project is the wait!!  This block is the new Block of the Month from  "The Quilt Show" with Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson.  It was designed by Susan H. Garman.

Well. as predicted, I quilted this customer quilt with the HQ Baptist Fan Groovy board.  It looks great.  For the first time I used Signatures Pixelle thread.  Its a trilobal polyester.  It quilted like a dream!

Just want to say welcome to Matt and Bradie, and thanks for the quilting ...

I just finished this Moda University Block of the month.  It took 4 days on and off.  I am keeping to my New Years resolution and using my rulers more and more.  I did the clam shell in the red border and use the swag ruler to put my spine ...

The customer quilts keep coming in (yeah!) and again this one was perfect for the Baptist Fan groovy board.  For those of you who are new to quilting I highly recommend this template.  If anyone has a groovy board they use as much as I use this, please let me ...

Today I did something for me.  Actually it started last night.  I participated in a New Years Day mystery quilt.  You were given directions to make the quilt the day before and then New Years Day, loaded the quilt and waited for instructions as to how to quilt it.  it ...

With 3 years of quilting under my belt, my New Years resolution for 2009 will be to do more ruler work.  I really love the look, but I am a bit intimidated by using rulers.  My last customer quilt of 2008 really cried for straight line quilting, so I bit ...

Well, this is my first attempt at blogging.  I am finally breathing a sigh of relief that all my holiday orders are finished and delivered.  I have added a photo of a customer quilt that was just finished.  I was the customer!!!  The pattern is called Olde Hickory and I ...
