A real Trip

Trip Around the World that is! Connie made this beautiful quilt for her daughter and her new husband. She likes green and he likes brown.....what a nice combo it made for this quilt! What a beautiful job Connie did! I quilted 'Falling Leaves' which was so perfect for this quilt.

Family Reunion T-shirt Quilt

A customer contacted me about doing a queen sized t-shirt quilt for her in-laws. What lucky in-laws she has :o) She boxed up her t-shirts and mailed them to me. I didn't have enough shirts to make a queen sized quilt, so I added extra quilt blocks to make the quilt the right size. I love the challenge of designing a quilting for someone. This one went through 3 design changes before I felt good about it.


I think it turned out quite nicely AND I just got an email from her saying...."OH MY HECK - Carrie this is Amazing! I love this quilt - It's beautiful! I can't thank you enough for all your hard work. I can not wait for my in-laws to open this up. They will be so surprised and touched. Thank you again for everything. You are the best!!" Couldn't help but smile when I got the email =D Thanks!

It's always fun to open a box to find fun and interesting t-shirts that have special meaning to their owners :o)
Here is the backside on light blue fabric.
Here is a close up of the blocks I made using my AccuQuilt Go cutter! Love that machine :o)

Olivia the Pig and Outer Space

Finished these two cute quilts just in time for this young family to move to....Kenya! What an adventure for them!! She just had a baby boy and wanted to get his quilt done. We actually did a swap for this quilt....She made me this adorable monkey that I wanted really, really bad, so she said she was willing to do a swap!
So I quilted the baby blanket for her littlest 'monkey' :o) I quilted "Rings of Saturn" and it just turned out so nice on her space fabric!


She decided to make a quilt for her daughter using Olivia the Pig fabric. Such cute, fun fabric! She chose "Ribbon Dance" as the quilting pattern. Very cute!

A baby quilt

My friend, Diane, made this darling little quilt for someone special. She rented time on my machine to quilt it. It was her first time and she did a super-duper job :D I meant to get a picture of her on the machine but alas I forgot :( Next time!


Nice job Diane!

Janet's quilt

I just finished quilting this quilt for Janet S. She chose Come Dance with Me to be quilted onto it. Really like the way it turned out! Red thread was used front and back.

Mary's Daughter

Mary, a returning customer, brought me her daughter's first quilt! It is the Yellow Brick Road pattern. I just love that pattern. It's quick and easy and it never looks the same! You can purchase the pattern here.

I was only able to get one picture because my camera's battery died! I meandered the quilt top.

Thank you Mary for allowing me to quilt your daughter's quilt :o) She really did a very nice job!

Amy's Quilt

Amy, who is a friend of the family, sent me a beautiful quilt. She really did a nice job piecing it and she chose Ribbon Dance for her pantograph. Nice choice!

Here is the front.

Here is a close up of the quilting.

This is the back of her quilt.

Thank you Amy for letting me quilt your quilt top!

New look to my quilting blog!

This blog has been used for and about my family. I now have a new blog for my family so be sure to bookmark it or better yet, become a follower! This blog will now be devoted to my quilting quests. My little business is picking up and I would like to show case those quilts that I have the privilege to work on and the great customers that I get to work with :o)

I just finished a Memorial Quilt for Traci in Florida. This is a quilt in memory of her mother. It was quite interesting to work with the different fabrics and colors that were sent to me.

Here is the quilt in progress. Laying out the blocks and shirts.

Here is the back of the quilt. I wanted her to see the fabrics she sent in larger pieces. I loved pieced backs also.

Here is the finished quilt. Loved how everything came together.
Thank you, Traci, for allowing me to be apart of this wonderful memorial.

Hurts were here!

George and Ginny Hurt were here this weekend. They spent Thursday night with us which was fun. We got to catch up with each other. We had dinner with them and Gadberrys and Sheppards at Habib's. Love that place....such yummy food. I got to quilt a quilt top for her. She made it for her grandson who turned 8 and was baptized today. (their reason to visit Maryland!)

Projects I have finished

Hi Everyone,

I have finished a few projects so I thought I would share. This is a quilt that was a consignment from a lady that liked my display quilt at the Liberty High Craft show. I finally finished it! I machine quilted this quilt for someone else.
This is my second quilt from her! woohoo! Hopefully I will get more quilts from her in the future. I finished these little scrap bags last night. I will use them next to my sewing machine and cutting table for the thread scraps, etc. I thought they turned out cute.

This is my next project...a sample t-shirt quilt for Jomax. I will be teaching this class in March! I will show you the results.
