kissy frog quilts

My foot has healed enough that I was able to custom quilt this customer’s quilt, designed by Patty at BOLT in Bucksport.

I will be teaching another beginner free motion class in March. Class size is capped at 12. Last class had 10 people on the waitlist so sign up soon.

I won lots of ribbons, including my favorite: Outstanding Domestic Machine Quilting.

Since I quilted both winning quilts, you might say that I won twice!

Announcing the winners of the Bay Festival Quilt Show! Viewers voted for their favorite quilt and their favorite wall hanging/table runner/small peice!Thank you all for making this another successful show!

Favorite Quilt was “Happy Together” made by Ann McCann of Bucksport!

Patty really like the quilting on this shop display quilt. I will be teaching beginning free motion quilting again at Bolt in Bucksport on Saturday, March 25th from 9-12. Contact the shop at (207) 702-9469 to sign up.

After a few months of using Facebook to post pictures of finished quilts and giving contact information for quilting services, I asked Will, my IT guru, to help me make a website for quilting services. His idea was to utilize my already existing, but much neglected blog instead of starting from scratch. I now have pages of pictures of recent quilted quilts, price lists, and a special page for tshirt quilt information. Just this week I have 3 quilt tops come in. It is exciting to see what these women have pieced and see how I can make their quilts shine. A special thanks to Patty at Bolt Fabrics in Bucksport for having me quilt her shop quilts and help promote my business. Hopefully soon I will be teaching domestic free motion quilting at her shop.

Friday afternoon I had a message on voice mail saying that there was a cancellation at the local high school craft fair and my name was next on the wait list. Luckily I have all my little items, such as tote bags, organizers, purses, baby quilts, and bookmarks all marked with prices. So, I have one week to figure out how to display everything and price the bigger quilts. Tonight is quilt guild and I’ll take a few and ask the other ladies for their ideas.

This quilt, from Strip Smart Quilts, was fun to put together and even more fun to quilt. I loved making the flowers with variegated thread, figuring out which color would be coming up next added a little amusement to the process. I really like this book and plan to make another soon, once I get my list of ongoing projects pared down a bit.
