I have completed my first customer quilt! Yay! It was king size and the biggest I have quilted so far. The customer dropped off the quilt top and I went to work! It was quite an experience and I am looking forward to my next customer! I used glide thread and it had just the right sheen and my Avante just loves Glide! I just may be a “real” quilter!
This is a quilt that my friend, Janet, pieced and she was kind enough to let me practice on! Can’t wait for her to see it!
I made this quilt as a surprise birthday present for my daughter. It is queen size and I utilized a tutorial from Missouri Star Quilt Co. Quilt fabric is Sue Daly’s French Courtyard by Riley Blake. She was ecstatic!
I finished quilting my grandson’s Wiggling Quilt (Natalia Bonner pattern). I love The Boat House fabric and he is going to love this quilt. I will post another picture when I finish the binding.
Finally squeezing in a little quilting time. I am using a pantograph by Patricia Ritter called Constellation. The quilt pattern is Wiggling Quilt from Natalia Bonner’s One Block Modern Quilts book.
I decided today was as good a day as any to try a pantograph. I was wobbly at first, but tried to concentrate on moving faster and not necessarily being precise. That really helped. This was fun and I will definitely do another so can continue to practice.
The pattern I used is called Ocean Breeze by Lorien Quilting. I purchased it from Urban Elementz. The quilt was stitched on my HandiQuilter Avante.
I loaded up the spool quilt this morning and quilted away. This is only my fifth quilt on my Avante so I certainly need more practice, but I am feeling more comfortable. I may even try pantographs!
I really had fun making this one. The pattern was part of a Craftsy class with Joanna Figueroa of Fig Tree Quilts and the fabric is called Bake Sale by Lori Holt. Now I just have to decide what type of quilting pattern I will use.
