An "antique" quilt for a dear family

Today I get the pleasure of quilting this beautiful quilt that was handstitched years and years and years ago by a dear lady. She brought it into me and wanted to know if I could finish quilting the top so that it could be used!  You can tell that this quilt has been stored for years because of the discoloration on the borders. But, I want you to make sure you look at the last photo!!!! Can you believe how tiny her handstitching is! Beautiful!!!!

Patsy Thompson is coming to our shop!

Patsy Thompson is coming and she's going to give a free demo on using rulers on your home sewing machine. We are going to have the rulers for sale in our shop so I've been practicing with some of them!  

Camper wall hanging.

I used to love to camp! Especially when my friends and I would set our tent up ON the beach! Nothing like  the sound of the waves and a warm campfire.

Cathy's camper brings back memories of happy times!

Catchy appliquéd this ADORABLE wall hanging and asked me to add a bit of texture to it. When I'm done she's going to add more embellishments  - like buttons etc. 

Isn't it just toooooo cute?! 

This is another piece Cathy made and will be picking up today.  I hope she loves the quilted texture that I added (as much as I love it)!

Piecing today!

Piecing a store sample today - FRIVOLS!!

Ruler Work and Free Motion Quilting

I think I will sketch out a different design for each block. This is going to be FUN!

Later......

Below is the sketch for the first blog and progress on two blocks.

Frivols - Store Sample Day

Today I'm working on a sample for Beginnings Quilt Shop in Hendersonville, NC.

The name of the small quilt I'm working on is Faithful. It's made up of 16 blocks that finish at 5" x 5". It has a scrap-pieced inner border that finishes at 1 1/8" and a pieced outer border the finishes at 1 3/4".   The finished size of the quilt is 25 3/4" by 25 3/4." 

I love minis!!
