Professional Longarm Quilting Services
What a perfect quilt for a 3 year old grandson! The construction quilt!
The pantograph Waterworld was chosen for the quilting design by us as it offers a perfect density that should hold this quilt together well for what we hope many hours of play and snuggling.
The backing print full of loaders was a perfect choice for the quilt and the print was perfectly matched so that it’s hard to find the seam.
Her quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up!
This was a fun quilt to add my quilting and hand stitching to! I love the messages about reading which made me smile as I advanced each row!
We chose the quilting design Jitterbug with its playfulness adding more joy to a fun quilt!
The important message for us all in the center of the quilt.
The backing required piecing, which is always a complimentary service that I provide, which also includes matching the pattern whenever it is possible.
This quilt was also bound and ready for use at pick up. Yes I do hand stitch bindings for my customers.

When this quilt was picked up, my customer exclaimed how much the quilting makes the quilt! It truly does bring the elements together.
Choosing the pantograph Rhapsody played on the florals in this quilt along with having curves and swirls against the straight lines in the piecing added a softness to the appearance of the quilt.
I love the elegance of this quilt, that really showcases some of the beautiful floral prints that can accumulate in our stashes over time. Of course you can use any prints to crest a similar quilt.

Let’s talk about finishing your quilting projects!
Let me start with a Liam update…he is officially much taller than me and more so every time I see him it seems.
He is also a big brother to our youngest grandchild Lydia. He is an amazing big brother and absolutely adores his little sister.
I wanted to make Lydia’s first quilt pink as I have made for 3 of our other granddaughters. Kaija asked to help make hers and hopefully we will have time to work on that soon.
My daughter Mary, Liam and Lydia’s Mom has many of the quilts that I have made along with ones from my Mom. So I decided that her first quilt would have Minki for the backing so that it would be perfect for tummy time.
These quilts are super fun to make and in this case I also added a striped fabric for binding that I cut on the bias. (My kind of fun!)
I used the pantograph Two of Hearts for the quilting, it just adds so much more love!!
Sometimes I do slip in some time for personal quilting!
All this Christmas gift needs now is the binding!
The Pantograph Ground Cover was chosen as the quilting design by its maker and it flows so beautifully over the quilt top and compliments the backing as well.
The batting is Hobbs 80/20,which I always carry on the roll and sell just what’s needed for each quilt to my customers. Thankfully I have a fantastic batting source that continues to offer the best price that I can find and am happy to give my best price to my customers.
Choosing the right thread colour can be a challenge when there is a lot of contrast, in this case I went with white as I knew that it’s contrast with the dark fabrics wouldn’t be as distracting as it would had I chosen a darker colour.
The backing fabric is a lovely match! There are so many wonderful wide backings to choose from!
This quilt was picked up this week trimmed and ready for binding!
Years ago my friend and I travelled to Duluth to attend the Minnesota Quilt show and she purchased this pattern and I believe the kit.
Well her quilt made its way to my studio for quilting and wow is it a beauty! She said that piecing this quilt was a good lesson in Y seams and she has definitely mastered those!
She chose the quilting design Nebula which is truly an amazing design and perfect for this quilt.
Her backing choice was absolutely perfect, a reads like solid print always showcases the quilting design to its fullest.
Her quilt was trimmed and ready for binding when she picked up her quilt.
We have enjoyed an incredibly long stretch of good comfortable weather. Last winter was a very mild one the first Christmas in my memory without snow! The snow arrived just after we left for our big trip on March 20th so we missed that and spent the next 6 weeks enjoying more summer like weather. Returning at the beginning of May we didn’t have long to wait for summer and that stretched into a beautiful and long Autumn…
Well winter has arrived, and I want to rebel! I have spent a lot of November busy in my studio and December will be much the same however it time to pull on my boots and jacket and bravely face the snow and cold 🥶
That’s a sampling of what happened in November however the very best part of November was celebrating Liam’s 13th birthday!
Oh this quilt was such a joy to work on! I love scrap quilts and bright colours especially this time of year. This quilt just made my heart sing…sometimes it’s really hard to part with a quilt job and this was one.
On a funny note Erik took one look at it and couldn’t understand it at all, I suppose to his mechanic mind it looked chaotic.
To me it just looks like artistic freedom and fun!
Its maker and I decided on the quilting design Rhodendrom adding a lovely softness against so many lines as well as just adding more blooms to the incredible Tula Pink backing.
Her quilt was trimmed and ready for binding…yes I did part with this quilt 💗
Beautiful bright fabrics (mostly batiks) really pop against the black in this stain glass quilt.
I chose a new to the studio quilting design, Finesse adding swirls curls and teardrop shapes against the angular piecing.
The batik backing couldn’t have been a more perfect choice for her quilt!
It was trimmed and ready for binding a pick up!
This Sampler quilt was added in with my customers group of tops that she brings me once a year, sometimes more. Anyways she included this quilt and said one wasn’t hers and she was sure that I knew which one it was.
The quilt belongs to her niece and was pieced by her Grandma. It’s a beautiful example of talent and some blocks that take advanced skill.
This type of quilt was popular when I first began quilting almost 40 years ago. They were a great way to learn different skills without making a whole quilt with the same block.
I chose the pantograph Here and There for the quilting design. Some of the blocks had a little fullness that this type of design helps to flatten without causing puckers.
It also could have been a candidate for custom quilting however it won’t be a show quilt it will become a cherished gift from a grandma.
This quilt was trimmed and ready for binding and returning to my customers niece.
You can see a glimpse of the quilt on my Longarm that I was working on when suddenly the lighting from my window was cooperating for a photo shoot!
