Off to the Quilter

Sometimes it is necessary to send some of my work out. When I get a request for a large quilt it makes more sense for me to have someone else quilt it. Anything larger than a twin can get tough to quilt on my smaller machine.

The lady I have used recently has a long arm quilter with computerized stitch options--it's pretty amazing! It takes up a whole room (a large room) and while it is still work, at least she doesn't have to wrestle the quilt through the tiny opening of a regular-sized machine. You can find her here, at Riverside Quilting.

Most recently I sent out a t-shirt quilt and another quilt that has been in process for at least 12 years. It was to be a wedding gift for a friend and after sewing a whole line of triangles backwards, I got frustrated and put it away. There it stayed until I finally had enough! It is now quilted and just needs binding before it goes to it's forever home.


Butterfly stitch

The t-shirt quilt is also ready for binding and then off to it's forever home as well.

Ok, not real puppies!

This cute quilt is perfect for that puppy-loving little boy in your life! Made with cotton, flannel , satin and a brown minky this is super soft and cuddly! This will be available in my shop.

I also finished this one:

Cupcakes in a jar!

It's true--I saw this on Pinterest and had to try it for myself!

While I used a mix and store bought frosting, I used the instructions from this website.
I got the free printable tags here.
The spoons came from Party City.

I used these as a favor for a brunch I held. I loved sending guests home with an afternoon treat!
