Long Arm Quilting This Week

Behind the scenes I am always working in my studio although the past few weeks I have been tied up with family responsibilities.  My turn around time for custom quilting has  taken a nose dive along  with my blogging.   My intention this week was to get back on track & therefore, I have started this week by working on my BERNINA Q20 Long Arm. 

I also have intentions this year of sharing most of what I am doing with the hope to inspire you by communicating via social media & blogging about it.  Although, I have blogged frequently in the past, there is a lot of work that I do not share.  Blogging for me is also a great way to keep track of my work.,much like a scrapbook.  So with that intention written  & communicated out in a public space, I hereby declare that I will share my work and will not be shy about even the most trivial of projects. I am also hereby declaring that  all projects are valid and hopefully you will learn some tips from me?  Let's see !!

Below are recent finishes this to date:

"William Morris" Inspired Quilt, Quilted on my BERNINA Q20 Long Arm with gold thread and "Wilflower" Pantograph/edge to edge design

Wild Flower Pantograph/Edge to Edge Quilt Design used

This first quilt design " Bauhaus" was requested by my customer as it is a gift for a man in her life, she thought it looked a little more masculine than some designs.  I chose teal thread to blend with the top fabric & backing allowing the panel like scene fabrics to sing.  The second pattern wildflowers was inspired by the floral patterns on the quilt, I also chose the gold thread to match the backing & blend on top of the quilt.  I wanted that beautiful floral fabric to be the star of the show.  There are many ways to think about quilting designs.   Hopefully, this year I will be able to share more tips for choosing quilt designs.
​Happy Thursday!
