Exciting News - I'm Retiring

Exciting News - I'm Retiring! I've been thinking about this for quite some time, particularly when I started back to work this year in February. Our Massachusetts daughter and her family have moved in with us for the next 2 years, while our son in law finishes up seminary. So this will give me lots more time with our granddaughter. I'll also have more time for doing my in-depth Bible studies, and of course, more time for sewing and quilting for my own things. I have 31 client quilts in my studio right now. I'll finish those and then I'm retired. I expect that will be about the middle of November, which will be right before our family trip to Disney World. There are a couple places to take your quilts for longarm quilting: The Quilt Foundry in Maumee Ohio, Material Obsession in Tecumseh Michigan and Threads of Tradition/Sauder Village Quilt Shop in Archbold Ohio. Thank you all for a wonderful 14 years!

What's on the Quilting Frame? Be Bold from me

 What's on the Quilting Frame? As many of you know, I was having machine troubles earlier this year. After we had the machine fixed, I put on one of my own quilts. This one is called Be Bold. The pattern was from the magazine American Patchwork and Quilting. I made this quilt using a different colorway than the pattern, but was able to use scrap yardage out of my stash. I chose the quilting pattern Meander 3. Then I used a variegated brown thread called Sinai.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's on the Quilting Frame? Susan M's "Stars Upon Stars" quilt.

 What's on the Quilting Frame? Susan M's "Stars Upon Stars" quilt. Pattern is by Laundry Basket Quilts. Susan chose the quilting pattern Lots of Feathers. Then we used a solid beige thread called Flax. This quilt is truly remarkable. The pieces are so incredibly small. I've added a picture with my hand next to one of the stars, so you can grasp the scale of the piecing. This truly is a lifetime achievement quilt. Well done!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's on the Quilting Frame? Susan M's "Metro Rings" quilt

 What's on the Quilting Frame? Susan M's "Metro Rings" quilt. This was a class out at the Sauder Village quilt shop. It's a new method of making the traditional double wedding ring quilt. Susan chose the quilting pattern "Orange Peel 2". (New Pattern Alert!") Then we used a white thread, so the quilting wouldn't distract from the piecing.
