Donna Scott with the fat quarter bouquet

Linda sent this recent photo of Donna with her fat quarter bouquet. It's wonderful to see her on her feet and on the mend! Keep healing Donna. We all hope to see you soon.

Quilt from Sue Urich

Here is a photo for the forum. It isn't that the quilting is extreme, it is that I restrained myself and I think it really enhanced the customers quilt.

Sue

Embroidered Quilt from Ann

These pictures are of the embroidery quilt that I completed for a customer. The customer brought my the embroidered blocks with the lace on it. I got the blocks and completed the quilt for her.

Ann

Photos from Linda

These are from a quilt from a customer from Florida . She designs them, does embroidery work , appliqué and then also does embroidery work. The dog is all hand stitched and was about a half inch think. I did actually do some quilting on it. They are all personalized for her grandchildren. This one also had prairie points on the outside edge.

The outside borders 16” wide, so I actually stitched create a separate border.

Memory Quilts

Dear old friends of ours, Bob and Debbie Borgstede, from St. Louis lost their son this last May from a gall stone in his pancreas. He was just 27 years old, married with a 2 year old son. He was a jazz guitarist and composer who won an ASCAP award this past year for outstanding young composer. Michelle pieced these quilts from his shirts for his family. His wife is an artist and designed the guitar design for the front of the memorial program. We had this embroidered on each quilt. I quilted these using a guitar and music note pantograph that we purchased at MQS. We made 6 quilts in all. Here are photos of 3 of them as well as a closeup of the embroidery and back. We are looking forward to a visit from them this upcoming weekend so they can pick up the quilts. We both felt honored to be a part of this memorial to him and thought we would share them with you.
