My work days are filled with beautiful quilts, and it is my privilege to put the finishing touches on them. From time to time, I would like to share with you some of the wonderful creative work of my customers and the quilting outcomes resulting from the time I spend daily at my longarm quilting machine.
Today, I will share a wall hanging quilt made by my longtime customer, Kris Sprehe. Since we’ve been talking about setting goals and finishing up projects, Kris’ story will sound familiar. She told me that the curved pieces in the border were very time-consuming when following the instructions she had been given. After awhile, she put the quilt away and didn’t work on it for several months. One day, she decided it was time to get it finished and worked out a new way to put in the curved pieces that was easier for her. Finally, it was done, and she couldn’t wait to drop it off at my house so she wouldn’t have to think about it anymore. Sound familiar? :)
After many hours on my quilting machine, here are the results:

Kris was quite pleased that she had put in the extra effort it took to piece and appliqué this quilt. When she left my house, she was very excited to get it bound and hung on the wall of her guest room. Congratulations, Kris!
