Long Arm Quilting

Elizabeth and I are very lucky to be able to work with some amazing long arm quilters.

One that Elizabeth works with a lot is Sandi Verbridge  and she does an amazing job.

I have shown you some of my blocks for our Block Exchange- well, Elizabeth finished her quilt! Doesn't it look great! Can't wait to see it in person and get some detail shots.



This is Elizabeth's version of one of our new Cat Nap series quilts- meet Tiger Lily!

Made with a jelly roll- 

And here is a sneak peak of one of the giveaways for our new website launch! Keep checking back... coming soon!

Jelly Roll Jumble- made with the Marmalade fabric line

All were quilted by Sandi- check out her website!


happy quilting,

Puzzler Update

A while age, I shared some photos of blocks that I had received from a 12 month block exchange.




I just got the last 5 months of blocks in the mail!

Over the holidays, while back in CT, I spent a great day with my daughter and my cousin and we finished up the last of our blocks. I think we were the final hold outs to getting this finished!











Here are the blocks I got back from the group:

September:





A close up of one of the blocks.



















October:







Don't you just love the dots?

















November:



 Some months we all seemed to be on the same page- this month had a lot of green in it!




December:






Love the grey fabric with the pink and turquoise- such a great combo!
















And the last month-

January:











Two of my blocks have that red center- I may switch one out for a hot pink. But it is so cute! I just love it!









Elizabeth, who was the organizer and block exchanger extraordinaire, also made all of these lovely quilt labels for the backs of our quilts.



I guess she is expecting us to finish!



The label was made with Printed Treasures Sew-On.

Our group was diverse and Elizabeth shared some of the demographics. We had 12 swappers from 5 states with an age range from 20s to 60s. And from very beginner to seasoned quilters. Didn't we all do a great job?

Now to out some of those blocks together....

happy quilting,
Kate
