A Woman and Her Horses

Teresa loves horses.
She designed this original quilt for herself featuring 20 different embroidered horses in country colors. One of our returning customers saw it and after buying a quilt for her daughter, ordered a horse quilt for herself. Can you see how the plaid and blue denim corners suggest horse shoes? The red bandana is a nod to country living. We call this custom quilt "Teresa's Horses."

Make Table Cloth Into Quilt!

One of our customers had a favorite aunt whose estate ran out of quilts to pass out to family members. In the place of a quilt, she was given a favorite table cloth used for family gatherings. Did I think we could make a quilt out of the table cloth, she asked.

After picking the best complimentary tone of solid burgundy fabric, I added panels around the table cloth to size it to a full size, 86x86 quilt. The custom table cloth quilt was finished with detailed machine quilting with a rose design, to compliment the cross-stitch embroidery on the table cloth. The customer had tears in her eyes when she saw it. She now also has a quilt with fond memories of her favorite aunt!

Add Printed Photos on Quilt

One way to quickly make a personalized gift is to add photos printed on fabric, then sew them on a quilt. Pick a quilt with favorite colors or a charming pattern such as handkerchief quilt. If you're not sure of colors, select something with a variety; that way the quilt will blend in with any room decor. I can print photos onto fabric; then you can cut them out and sew them on a quilt. We'll also be glad to do that for you!

Nuts About This Crazy Quilt

I am crazy over this brand new crazy quilt top from one of my talented piecing artists.

Look closely at it, she’s incorporated not only fabric remnants from other projects but the teeniest tiniest fabric pieces. And she says she does this to relax! I love Victorian crazy quilts. I even have one from 1910 hanging in my den but these teeny tiny pieces would drive me – well, you know.

It’s All In the Ears

When one of four customers wanted a personalized appliqué dachshund quilt
design, I was ready.
Custom fabric colors, check.
Adding her dog names to collars, check.
How about flapping dog ears…
Well, no guarantee but we did everything we could to give the ears a
chance to flap. They’re made out of lightweight fabric and attached only
at the top so with a good wind…
