Finally got this quilt quilted. This has been quite a project. A friend did the blocks and I joined them and quilted it. This was made from the customers parents clothes.
That is awesome Jeanine!!!
Love it! Great job!!!!
Wow, Jeanine. Fabulous job. Ginny
Jeanine,
I am always in aw of how you can come up with ideas on what to quilt in all the spaces. Your customer certainly put a lot of effort into the clothes quilt. It's a great keepsake and your quilting was icing on the cake!
It took two days to square up the backing, pin to leaders and load but I did it. Being sick is no fun. But it is loaded and ready to quilt and I am hoping to have energy to wind my bobbins and start quilting a row or two tonight. This quilt is 118" square so it will take a few days at the rate I'm moving to get it done. Slow progress is still progress, right?
They didn't leave me much extra on the backing so I am hoping I don't run into any issues with that! I'll just have to be careful.
That's a pretty neat looking quilt. Love the batiks! You'll do great with it I'm sure. With just the little bit on the edges I hope it's cut straight and there is enough when you get to the bottom. Batiks don't stretch much but I'll keep my fingers crossed right along with you.
Can't wait to see how you quilt it. Whatever you do it'll be great!
Finished the quilt. Mi love it when everything goes smoothly. I will get it trimmed and the binding on tomorrow.
Your quilts always look great Jeanine! Now imagine putting that machine into a 8x10' room thats my situation.

You have to get creative when you get a longarm! We took the only storage area we had and converted it to my longarm room. Now we have to get real creative with stuff we need to store. The poor garage is bursting at the seams now. But I have my priorities!
What a beautiful quilt. I love that quilt pattern you used. It looks fantastic, especially on the back. Great job!

I love this. Fantastic quilting job Jeanine.
Where are everyone's quilts? I want to see what you are working on!
Here are my quilts this week.
Great looking quilts, Jeanine. I like the way you have the quilting to reflect the style of the quilt. Ginny
I'll try to post this again...
I am going to back away from this site and focus on a limited number of things in my life. I will still post on facebook so if you would like to LIKE my Threads of Faith (business page) or Quilts from the Bluffs (charity page), please do. (you can do a search in facebook on these names.) I don't think the links were accepted before.
Jeanine, I will miss your posts on here but I get it. I have not been on QCA much myself as I get pulled in too many directions. I haven't quilted much lately as we are waiting for some repairs to be done to the basement (where my machine "lives") so I'm in limbo.
Your quilting skills are wonderful & I bet your customers are very happy :-) Your quilt ministry work is a wonderful thing and I wish you success and happiness at work, home & with your ministry. We'll miss you.
