Big blocks for big prints

Kelly  made a sports theme quilt for her nephew who's turning 7. We'll quilt it for them with variegated thread!
She collects fabric with fruits and veggies and makes picnic quilts with large blocks for wedding quilts for friends....a great idea.

Classes bring out the fun and creativity in you

The girls in the Homestead Gathering Club are having so much fun with doll quilts and cigar box doll beds. Karen wanted something unique for the legs on her doll bed and decided to use tea cups from her granddaughter’s tea set. Isn’t that the cutest idea?!

Marshall has been quilting up a storm! Always a finished new project when he stops by. This week he had two beautiful tops to show us.

Show and Tell - Batiks

One of our customers loves working with batiks because the colors always seem to blend well. She used the “Disappearing Nine-Patch” technique on one of the quilts. The other quilt is for her daughter.

Show and Tell - Awesome

One of our out-of-state customers stopped by while she was in Atlanta to show us her finished Sweet 16 quilt. Many of you will remember that Sweet 16, designed by Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts, was our appliqué block of the month last year. Mary did all the appliqué on her blocks, but had the quilt hand quilted by an Amish lady near her home. Beautiful!

Textile Memories

One of our customers wanted a teddy bear made from her mother's favorite sweater after her mother passed away. We think Wanda did a great job making this special treasure for her!
