  • Quilting pattern - Meandering feathers

  • Custom quilting

    Made this quilt from a pattern on one of Angela Walters' Midnight Quilter videos. It was a gift to a dear friend, completely custom quilted.

  • Vintage Blocks

    Fell in love with and bought the HST blocks at Humble Quilts popup shop during the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show 2024 (she has a lovely Etsy shop). There are over 100 different prints in them, including original feedsack! I pieced the black and white blocks - easy. I saw this quilt in my mind and I'll be darned if It didn't come out just like I imagined! The quilting pattern is Meandering Feathers by Wasatch Quilting. It's for sale, but will be hard to part with!

  • Vintage blocks

    A good look at the quilting pattern - traditional feathers with a little modern twist.

  • This is what I found when I removed the sheet that had been sewn over the top of this 70's vintage Trip Around The World quilt. Yikes!

  • The fabric in one of the concentric diamonds had deteriorated to the point where it needed to be replaced. At this point, I have begun to love this quilt and want very badly to bring her back to life.

  • Beginning to clean her up, remove the deteriorated fabric and develop a plan...

  • This quilt was originally yarn tied to a blue cotton/poly blend bed sheet for the backing. As the batting was also too tragic to use, I separated the three layers, leaving these holes. Surprisingly, the threads were not broken, just pushed apart.

  • I chose a pale teal and white diagonal gingham to replace the fabric I had removed. It blended well with the other fabrics, a collection of this and that from clothing, sheets, actual yardage etc. This took quite awhile.

  • All put back together, and now the pattern and the colors that blend so softly can be appreciated.

  • A big day for this old gal quilt - at the quilt shop, choosing new backing fabric. Everyone had an opinion! The lavender won out.

  • She's finally there - loaded on to the frame, all ready for quilting. Pretty amazing day!

  • First row done, starting on the second. So far so good...

  • I chose the pattern Damask 2 from Wasatch Quilting. Enough quilting to secure all the seams, and the look goes so well with the fabrics.

  • Finally finished the last row of quilting. She looks so good! All the time and work is so worth it to see the quilt looking so shiny again!

  • I had to get some pictures of this beauty out in the sunlight! Beautiful spring day, beautiful quilt!
