A little long-arm action...

Over the past month I have finished a few customer quilts. I want to share some beautiful quilts.

I always enjoy quilting for customers and working on a variety of quilts that I could never get around to piecing.

This is an updated version of my Tic Tak Deco pattern.  Really fun and graphic!  New pattern photo soon!

Toni's super fun and happy quilt that I jazzed up with ribbon candy quilting and swirls.

Of course, I had to use my favorite back-n-forth filler:0)

Toni had me use this SUPER long fuzzy minke backing.  Kind of weird to quilt on.  Toni said over time all the fuzzies come out of the stitching and it just looks fuzzy on the back and you can't see the stitches....

Karen had pieced this great geometric quilt.  I did a free-hand spiral square on the center blocks and repeated the linear lines in the border to frame it.



Karen wanted pine cones and moose on this earthy table runner.

LOOK close....there is the outline of a moose.

A little fun background fill...



I always love this pattern that creates the illusion of curves without sewing a curve.  I always use my Quick Curve Ruler to make the curves in my quilts...Lol


Happy Sewing, Helen

Practice - Practice - Practice

I have been working on a curved four patch block.  I am trying to get the final block to measure 8.5" square.  It only took 7 tries to get the dimensions I wanted.  Here are three of my tries. This is your teaser for next week's post on our 'Curve It Up - QAL.'

Happy Sewing, Helen

"The One Ring to Rule Them All"

Jenny and I have had tons of fun coming up with patterns for the Double Wedding Ring!  Using the Quick Curve Ruler to recreate traditional quilt patterns and new designs is tons of fun!  After Jenny and I worked on the Double Wedding Ring this weekend, I had to do the Solo Circle.  I could see it in my head and I couldn't leave it alone until I had it in fabric.  I am not sure what to call it........ Ozone?  Solo Circle? The One Ring to Rule them All? Lol.......Ocredible?  The options are endless.

I think it would make great modern pillows for my girls for Christmas.... They are out of the country for the next week so I'm hoping they don't see this post....



Having way too much fun with the Quick Curve Ruler!  Patterns to come soon:0)
