Quilt for my Grandmother


I had made this quilt top in a class i took a few years ago and since my mom whanted to give my grandmother a quilt as a getwell gift i quilted it up quickly for her.


I quilted freehand flowers and meanders all over the top.


I think it turned out pretty good for being in a bit off a rush to compleat it.

Whant im curently working on

 this is the quilt i just took off the frame . Im making it for my Daughter she picked out the fabric i dident like it at first but now Im starting to like this quilt. i just quilted it in a random pattern of flowers leaves hearts and butterflys with lots a swirls.
 I love the coulours pink and black together and im having fun adding lots off texture to the background off this quilt.


This quilt is for a customer its her first quilt and she did a realy good job. Its an exploding pinapple pattern and i love the colours she chose. i quilted it with varigated tan and brown aurifill thread.

This is one off the first quilts I made for a paying customer.
The pattern is spring time ribbons from about quilting .com.
I stippled it on my domestic machine. That was an adventure since it was the largest quilt I had ever quilted on that machine. Thankfully i have a mid arm on a frame now so I can finish a quilt much faster and with more acuracy now.

my fist blog post

A bit about myself. im a Mom and i love to quilt. i hope to post pictures of my in progress and finished quilts as i get then done.
