Blending Board Carry Cover

Having an addiction for all things fiber, I tend to collect tools. Nothing is more important than keeping your tools well protected. My recent tool I purchased was a blending board by Howard Brush a local RI company that has been in business for over 100 years. The blending boards are used to blend fibers to used to spin into amazing yarns. For a great video on blending boards Gwen is the expert on the topic and has created videos using her Clemes and Clemes Blending Boards. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RlmqzEUNMxE.

I decided to make a folded carry cover so that the needles are protected and won't catch sliding in or out of a bag, because the bag actually folds over the board. The folds creates a pocket for the parts and brushes. They are made from high quality cotton decorator fabrics. I am selling the bags for $30.00. I will be releasing a drum carder carry cover too. This way not only are the needles protected but your fingers, little children's fingers and your fur babies as well.

 The Underground Railroad Quilt. 

I think this one I will sell $350.00.

Border tricks

Borders have always tricked me up. Not sure why, but I seem to hem and haw over those the most. I came up with a new feathered border that I really like its easy to remember and pretty quick too.

Christmas in July

UHG! Really, Christmas! Well when it's a hundred degrees outside its hard to think of snow. Why not? I have a great snowflake pattern perfect for those Christmas quilts. Here is the special, $60.00 for any quilt up to 90 inches! Only in July. Just email me for details with snowflakes in the header. Easy peasy.

Don't forget my quilt contest. It is moving slow but I know I can give away some quilting, I just need 100 comments.

Contests: Get Free Quilting!

Lately my quilting business has been a little slow. Maybe it's the dog days of summer? I thought it would be fun to give away free quilting. But I need a quilter to give it too! Soooo, here's the plan leave a comment below why and what you need quilted, if I can get 100 unique comments, I will pick one to quilt free. Only limitations is the quilt can not be over 90 inches. So here's a great chance to reduce your UFO pile. If in the meantime you need something quilted give me an email you will be surprised how affordable it can be. Leave an email so I know how to contact you or email me with your comment number and I will record your entry that way. Don't forget to follow me:)

Moving along

I Finished this top years ago and I finally got it on the frame to quilt. It's called Washington medallion by Sue Garman.

Time to quilt the UFOs

After my big reveal, I decided it's time to quilt them. No more hemming and hawing over how to quilt them. Time to have fun and get creative. Today's quilt is a pink and white vintage flea market find. I decided to give it a feathered texture to bring out the "girly" in it. I did have an email asking me if my machine was stitch regulated, no its not.  My machine is an APQS Ultimate II an early workhorse machine.  It is hand guided and loads of fun.  I do quilt for others so please feel free to ask. My average price is only $.015per square inch.

Over all the quilt is in good condition.
As you can see there is some puckering and
a few minor stains that should wash out in the final wash.
