A client brought this cute quilt to me, and wanted it quilted similarly to the one I quilted for Gracie Lou's. She wanted polyester batting, so I quilted the center a little looser than I normally would have. I did a meander with stars, and it looked super cute with the batting making it puffy in the unquilted areas.

Minkee and Chenille
This quilt is a shop sample for Gracie Lou's. It is made out of a mixture of minkee, chenille, and regular fabric. I quilted a small meander in the sashing around the minkee/chenille squares, leaving the squares to puff up.

Flowers for a wedding
A client brought me these two quilts. She needed them done in time for a wedding a family member of hers is having.
On the pink quilt I quilted a large flower in each of the nine patch blocks. I quilted a vine in the sashing. I used an eggshell colored thread.
( I took the pictures from the back of the quilt because the quilting showed up better that way.)

"Joy" brought me this quilt she made as a shop sample for Gracie Lou's. She wanted me to quilt it in a way that made it look like it had movement. In the center I quilted swirls. I alternated directions of the swirls.

Baskets
This is one of my mother-in-law's quilts. She has so many quilt tops! She is such a gifted quilter, and she does the funnest quilts. I stitched in the ditch around each basket, did a vine in the green border, a squiggle in the rust border, and flowers in the outer border. I used a rust colored thread for all of this.

Pinwheels Revisited
My client, "M," brought me this fun quilt. She had me quilt a meander just in the white area around the pinwheels so that the colors would pop. I did a vine in the outer border.

Swirls
This adorable child's quilt was for Gracie Lou's. I did an all-over swirl pattern.
