Kimmie chose pink flannel back and wanted bamboo batting. She also wanted hearts. I drew up three wonky concentric freemotion hearts (continuous, thank you very much) and quilted it on the quilt along with a a Debbi Treusch offset of a Deloa Jones sashing, SID and my longarm feathers with echo.
Martha used a purple backing and wanted Hobbs Heirloom batting. Martha liked the Tree of Life design that I drew up and used on my son's Jacob's Ladder. So I did that inside the field of her half log cabin. I SID the border and used freemotion to quilt an open leage and curl pattern similar to one of the fabrics in the the quilt.
The back shows the budding stems of the tree. No flash used for this so the color is distorted.
You can't see the quilting on this photo but the color is correct.
So these two fabric-atistas (hey, if Starbucks can make up a name for their coffee guys, I can make up a name for the people who work at quilt shops) had two very different quilts.

I love your blog! I am a very newbie longarmer..got a used Gammill in September...but so wanting to learn new things. We live way too far from any quilting classes. Are you just so talented? Did you take classes? I never heard of MQResources until I read your blog. I am in awe of what you do...lovely work. I can only hope that one day I can do some of what you seem to have mastered.
