First, some catch up from the end of last year. This is an Asian inspired quilt made by Betty D. for a member of her family going off to college. Betty chose a beautiful panel that inspired the fabrics for the Disappearing Nine Patch blocks. Quilted with Woven Wind from Apricot Moon with a gold Glide thread to add to the gold accents of the Asian fabrics.
Betty added some very nice accents with a tiny gold and black inset border with flange. Very well done! We were also happy with how the quilting played with the panel print.
Backed with a soft gold flannel backing. Well done Betty, thank you!
Looking forward to the wedding quilt and the little quilt is quilted :0)

A baby quilt made by Linda E.
Love how Linda used French Braids for the borders. Made from scraps with allot of pinks, it is quilted with an Antique Rose Omni thread color. We settled on a fun idea for the quilting... Fireworks and it worked! IMHO. Linda will cut the corners with 45 degree angles before added the binding for a different shape too. Well done Linda! Thank you
I am currently working on another quilt for Linda. It's made with blocks from The Farmer's Wife book and it's gorgeous! Pix soon. A close up of Fireworks quilting design...
I am very happy with my customers, which brings me to the subject of changes and making a difficult decision. I am no longer taking new customers with the goal of scaling back the time I spend quilting for others. I have such a wonderful local client base, a second decision is not to take internet quilting orders. The website will remain intact for the purpose of information and inspiration for both clients as well as fellow bloggers.
There are plans to add tutorials to the website. My goal is to give tips to other longarmers and quilters. Resources and links. It's a great business to get into and I would love to see up and coming quilters make it a success!
Looking forward to what the New Year brings and the path it takes.
Tot ziens, Jo

How lovely to see my granddaughter's quilt when first I clicked on your site! It does look beautiful hanging like that. She was pleased with it. You always do such a beautiful job of quilting. Hurrying on the wedding quilt. They upped the date; I told them "grandma will be there, but the quilt won't!" Talk with you soon. As ever, Betty
ReplyDeleteYea and thank you Betty. I'll be ready for the wedding quilt when you are! Jo
DeleteThe quilts are very nice! It is important to stay in control of your business and not let it take over, I'm glad I have a quilt you quilted before you "closed" to online clients. :) have a great weekend.
