This is a pattern from a magazine and I believe it was quilted by Shari Fisher. It was not quilted at the time I took the photo. It was queen size. The solid black had a pin tuck texture that was really elegant.
This was donated to a silent auction and sold for $300.00!! It is Queen sized "Stack and Whack" and quilted by Shari Fisher http://www.itsquilted.blogspot.com
This is a pattern I got from a magazine. I bought fabric for one quilt and was able to use scraps for a second quilt. I quilted these myself on a HQ Long Arm. The backs are polka dot minky which was a hit with the recipients. The orange one was given to a derby girl "Miss Discipline" and the blue one was for my new nephew Tristan.
This year is all about finishing old projects and using fabric I already have in my stash. This block was made in February of 2006. If I'm lucky, the entire quilt will be done in February of 2010. I'll post pictures when it is finished.
This is the first quilt I ever bought a pattern and fabric for. The pattern is "Yellow Brick Road" and I was trying to do Brights - but you can tell my fabric selection was not very confident and not very bright. I also did a "stitch in the ditch" on my sewing machine which I now regret. At the time I guess it was okay. I gave this quilt to my friend Megans Mehr first son Justin.
I started quilting at the end of 2003 and co-purchased a long arm in 2008. I only use the long arm for personal projects or barter projects.
After learning the basics, My interests are taking me into a love of Modern Quilting. This is a log of my past and future endeavors.
