Every Quilt Tells a Story

Some more Longarming.... 

This time a gorgeous quilt, that has a sad yet beautiful story behind it... 

This quilt will be raffled soon to raise money for a Hospice 

where the initial blockmaker was cared for in her final days. 

The unfinished blocks were put together to make this lovely quilt 

at a later date by a very kind and wonderful quiltmaker 

and she asked me to longarm quilt it.....

I borrowed the quilt back to photograph it

and I hope I have done it justice.

The Night Shift

Late night quilting! 

I am just back from a late night shift at my studio

trying to catch up with customer quilts. 

I drive to my studio after the kids are in bed, 

quilt until I can't anymore, come home and get ready for bed 

so that I can get up in the morning to get the kids to school and me to work. 

My days are too short!!!

This customer quilt has been made by a lady 

who trusted me to longarm quilt 4 other of her gorgeous quilts 

that were needed by Christmas and this last one was made up with blocks 

started by a fellow quilter who sadly passed away recently.

 I believe this quilt is to be raffled to fundraise for the hospice 

that cared for the fellow quilter in her last days. 

Every quilt does indeed tell a story. 

This one of loss, of friendship and of the threads that bind us together 

if we are prepared to find inspiration in each others creativity.

I am still grieving, perhaps I shall grieve forever, 

but I shall also always create!
