Today I printed a presser foot! It’s a great time to be alive.

The best part about making #memoryquilts is delivering them. There’s a look the receiver gets when they see “their stuff” that’s hard to describe.

This #upcyle #quilt was made from upholstery scraps. Here’s hoping it keeps you warm and cozy, Dr. G!

Figured I’d start #2025 with an #upcycle #quilt that I pieced from upholstery scraps. Binding and final pics coming up!

To my seam ripper, who I both love and despise:

I wish my stitches stayed true and straight,
But here you are, my twist of fate.

I wish I didn’t need your aid,
But since I do, my peace is made.

So while I curse and start anew,
Seam ripper, thank you for what you do.

In the spirit of “I’ll try anything once”, a client brought two wall hangings she wanted quilted. I loaded them BOTH and quilted them separately.

A client made this patriotic #baseball themed #quilt, so I’m adding ⚾️ quilting for her.

Up early starting up a #longarm job for a client who made this adorable baby #quilt. Because, well, Christmas was yesterday.

Happy holidays y’all! It’s Christmas, so spiked egg nog at 6:45 am is ok, right? 🤣

Early #newyearsresolution. Do one thing that scares me: try and quilt with curves.

When a client sends me a #quilt top to #longarm, I try and make stitching part of the #quilt’s story. Here eagle fabric meets eagle #quilting.

Before the “real” day starts, up early to #longarm another amazing #quilt made by another of my amazing clients. I’ve been blessed to have the world’s best clients. ❤️

Being able to #upcycle fabrics is one of my favorite things about #quilting. A leather and denim suit from the 70s has a second life as a #memoryquilt.

Today’s #quiltsofvalor presentation was heartwarming and moving. I am so happy and proud I got to be part of it.

The amazing owner of A Klassy Lassie wanted a #quilt made from some of the fabric she had in her shop. Challenge accepted!

Celebrating my first #bluesky post with one of my first #tshirt #quilts. Looking back at it, I had a lot to learn. But here’s where the love affair started.
