Lisa’s Cotton Daisy Quilt

How darling is this sweet baby quilt?!?!

Lisa made this Cotton Daisy quilt by Karen at Laugh Yourself into Stitches for one of her granddaughters. The prints and textures are so precious.

Lisa loves my 4 oz bamboo batting, which is cozy and so soft. We used it in this quilt. The thread is a cream Omni from Superior Threads.

I wanted to keep the custom quilting light enough to still be cuddly but also show off the shapes and enhance the overall design.

I used a few rulers for the quilting on this one. For the arched square that is in the background I used my 13” Circle2 ruler for the arcs and my 3” Circle2 ruler for the inside petals.

Above is the 7”/13” Circle2 ruler. Each set comes with 6 rulers, and each ruler has two different sizes of rulers. The circles range in size from 2” up to 13”. They are made in America with 1/4” high quality acrylic.

Above is the 3”/9” Circle2 ruler. This and the 2” and 4” circles are my most used rulers. The 3/4th of a circle design allows for easy maneuvering as I custom quilt. Here is a video of me using one of them.

Above is the entire Circle2 set stacked up and ready to send your way. It’s the best circle ruler set on the market.

I also used the 3” Circle2 ruler to quilt the petals. Then I quilted the mini pebbles (circles) freehand.

I used an Edge ruler from my friend Linda at The Quilted Pineapple, to quilt all the lines.

This quilt is a keepsake and I hope Lisa’s sweet granddaughter will treasure it forever.

Thanks for stopping by. If you’d like to have some edge to edge quilting done, January is a great time. Check out my calendar and schedule a day. Happy quilting! Leisha

Angie’s Baby Cuddles Quilts

Angie has a great go to baby pattern, pick some of your favorite fabrics and get yourself a copy of Baby Cuddle by Fresh Dew Drops. I’m going to share four baby quilts she made and a queen sized of the same quilt. Fresh Dew Drops has a regular pattern with larger sizes as well it’s called Simply Done Quilt.

What I love about a pattern like this one is it’s all about the cute fabrics, and it’s super fast.

I quilted this one using a free panto design available on my Gammill Statler called Rose Vine by Norma Sharp. It quilts out beautifully!

I used natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads and my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting by Winline Textiles.

This is a gender neutral one because the parents were waiting until they have their baby to find out. I love the pops of color and fun prints.

We went with a gender neutral panto design, too. This is also a free one on my Gammill Statler called Geometric Border. The designer isn’t listed. I love the fun texture this design creates.

I used natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads, it blends so well. I also used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

See that texture on the minky, sooo good!

Love this sweet version!

I used the same 8020 cotton poly blend batting and a cream Omni thread from Superior Threads.

I used Patricia Ritter and my Sweet Indigo panto design to quilt it, which is available at Urban Elementz.

How sweet is the quilting on this quilt?!?!

Next up, this sweet apple print.

We originally talked about putting a flower on this one, and I then I thought Sprig would be an excellent choice. It’s by Abling Vines and is available at www.matantequilting.com

This is a favorite of mine. It stitches out beautifully and creates lovely texture.

I used my favorite natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

Check out that quilty texture!!

Here is the queen sized version that Angie made for her daughter who loves Halloween.

You can probably guess I used natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads, which blends so great on even those black fabrics. I also used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

I used the Haunted Web panto by Apricot Moon Designs to quilt it. It’s available at Urban Elementz.

Thanks for being here!!

Kristan’s Put a Spin On It Baby Quilt

Are you looking for an idea for an easy baby quilt? Kristan made this darling pinwheel quilt. The pinwheel blocks are pretty large.

The pattern is free on the All People Quilt website and is called Put a Spin On It.

I used the sweet Sprig panto design by Abling Vines which is available at Ma Tante Quilting. Sprig quilts out beautifully and adds some lovely texture.

I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles and Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads.

The fun thing about a quilt like this is showcasing the beautiful fabrics. Especially when the blocks are large like these ones.

Jeanenne’s Throw Quilt

When quilting texture looks sooo good on a quilt, my heart is so happy!

Jeanenne made this beautiful throw quilt, unfortunately I don’t know the name of the pattern.

I used my favorite Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads, and my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

What I love most about this quilt…is our Taj Mahal Echoed panto design, which is available at Urban Elementz. I can’t wait to put this design on another quilt, it quilts out beautifully.

Look at that texture, it’s just sooo good.

The quilting adds so much texture, so I try to pick something that will enhance the overall design.

Some more close ups…

Look how perfect that quilt backing is!! Jeanenne didn’t have a backing fabric, so I found this perfect one in my mom and aunts online fabric shop Sisters and Quilters.

Are you looking to get one of your quilts quilted? Check out my edge to edge quilting spots available on my calendar. Thank you!! Happy New Year!

LeAnn’s Rose Garden Runner

I have a darling table runner to share with you today!!

LeAnn made this Rose Garden Runner from a kit available at My Girlfriends Quilt Shoppe. The pattern and Market Street fabrics are both by Heather Peterson from Anika’s Treasures.

I was going to quilt it with yellow thread, but didn’t love it, so I swapped it for a cream Omni thread from Superior Threads. I also used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

I gave LeAnn a few options, and she chose my Beaded Orange Peel, which I love!! It turned out so perfect for this particular runner. Beaded Orange Peel is available in my shop.

I love how the circles within the panto design adds interest to the traditional orange peel design.

If panto designs that touch scare you. Here is a link to a video of what I do when I quilt pantos. I hope it helps.

This cheerful runner has me dreaming of spring already!! How about you?!?!

Jaimie’s Halloween Quilt

Happy Halloween 🎃

This simple Halloween quilt is all about the fabrics. Unfortunately I don’t know the pattern name or fabrics. I’ll update this post if I do.

I used 8020 cotton poly blend batting and Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads.

I used my Lined 1/2” design to quilt this, which is in my shop. Here is a direct link to it: https://www.quiltingit.com/shop/p/lined-12

Kara Jo’s Daisy Do Quilt

Excited to share this incredible quilt with you that Kara Jo made…she used the english paper piecing method, which means the entire thing was sewn together by hand, with the exception of the borders.

The pattern is called Daisy Do in the Jen Kingwell book called Quilt Lovely. I just linked one shop, there are several that carry this book and it’s also available on amazon. It’s such an amazing quilt!!!

If you follow me on instagram, then you may have seen this photo while I was quilting. I love to turn the lights out and pull out my flashlight to see if I’ve missed a spot, but also to see all the quilting textures.

I used Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads to quilt it and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

I love it when I can pull out my Circle2 rulers, and for this one I used my 4”/10” ruler. I use the inner circle, the 4”, for the curves in the flowers. I typically use my rulers for orange peel petals, however they are great for echoing in shapes as well. If you quilt freemotion, you should grab a set!! They are available in my shop.

I also quilted lines with one of Linda’s Edge rulers from the Quilted Pineapple, and included a freehand swirl with it for the background.

Kara Jo wanted my Overlapping Circles for the border, which is a fun texture to frame all the flowers. Overlapping Circles is something I teach in my Quilting It Freemotion Course. If you’ve been wanting to learn how to quilt freemotion… Check it out!!!

This quilt is so beautiful!!! I wish you could all see it in person.

Have you tried english paper piecing yet? I love it!!! It’s relaxing and doesn’t require much thought. I’m working on my quilt a little here and there. Hopefully I’ll be sewing the edges together soon, so I can sew them to the quilt.

If you’re interested in having me quilt for you, check out my calendar. I have lots of edge to edge spots still open before Christmas. Have a great week!! Happy quilting! • leisha

Sandy’s 4 Patch Baby Quilt

Did you have a chance to check out my new website??? Take a look around when you get a moment. Thankfully I was able to transfer my blog and most of my shop with the help of Square Websites Plugins, a company not associated with Square Space that developed a software which collects the data and downloads it. Best tool in the rebuilding process for me. In my shop a had to add digital files to each of my designs, which I was planning to do anyway. Such a smooth process. They have other resources as well. If any of you are in the same boat, give it a try!

How cute is this adorable baby quilt that my mom made for my cousin’s baby girl?!?! I can’t believe he’s old enough to be a dad, and I babysat him when he was a baby. I’m old, haha!!

My mom sewed 2.5” squares together into a four patch and cut 4.5” colored and white squares to offset as you can see.

I’ve had a bunch of 2.5” squares left over from my Hexie Flower quilt that I’m making, and my mom took them and some charm packs and made this adorable quilt. All Bonnie and Camille fabrics.

I used Flower Child from Apricot Moon Designs available at Urban Elememtz, to quilt it. Which is a perfect design for this quilt.

I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles and Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads.

Check out that quilted minky texture!!! Love it! I love regular solid minky. The quilting creates the perfect snuggly texture.

Pat’s Summer Haze Quilt

Are you looking for an adorable baby quilt??? I have a sweet one to share with you today!!

Pat made this sweet Summer Haze quilt, and the pattern is by Suzy Quilts. The fabric is a line that came out October 2020 called Folktale by Vanessa at Lella Boutique. The combination of the pattern and fabrics is sooo good.

I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles and Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads.

I came across this super darling free panto design on my Statler called Rose Vine by Norma Sharp. If it doesn’t come free on your machine, it’s available in paper and digital format at Quilts Complete. I’ve linked the digital version above.

The quilting design softens all the hard lines, and matches the fabrics perfectly!! Pat was thrilled!!! Check out that quilty texture on the minky backing.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have fun quilting plans for the week!!

Jessica’s Dresden Quilt

Hello there,

So excited to share this stunning quilt with you!!

Jessica made this classic Dresden quilt with such fun fabrics. I love the navy background, which allows the colors in the dresdens to pop!!

Jessica wanted simple quilting, and suggested cross hatching. I typically need reference points when I cross hatch, so I decided to try my On Point panto design and do some custom computerized quilting for the background. On Point is available in my shop. I did the rest of the custom quilting with one of the Edge rulers from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple. I quilted in the ditch around the dresdens and then a half inch cross hatch in the center. Simply perfect, if you ask me.

I used Navy and Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads, and bamboo batting from Winline Textiles.

Those lines…a favorite of mine, for sure!!! If you’re interested in having me quilt for you, check out my edge to edge calendar.

Jessica is an incredible photographer, and took this beautiful picture and gave it to me to include. Click on her name to see more of her beautiful work.

Kristin’s Color My World quilt

Hello, thanks for visiting Quilting It. I’m excited to share with you one of the quilts I had the privilege of quilting earlier this year. It’s an amazing one!

Kristin made this amazing Color My World quilt. The pattern is by Wendy Williams. Kristin wanted custom quilting, which is perfect for this quilt.

It may be hard to see, but look extra close in the background behind the trees there are pebbles, which is something I teach in my Quilting It Freemotion video course. The swirls, which I also teach in my course, you can see quilted in the trees around the center. These two designs are ones that Kristin requested, after seeing them on another quilt. She left everything else up to me. She loved it, and so do I.

I used the natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

When it came to the quilting in the houses, I quilted in the ditch with an x in the windows or doors. I also tried to highlight the shape of the roof’s in the center…let’s just call them the suburbs, haha…with a couple of simple v shapes.

The center star also go some echoed lines inside and out. See those white dashes, aka the lines down the middle of the road, I quilted in the ditch on each of them individually. The overall look is worth it.

Here is a close up of it all.

You can see the lines in the city buildings a little better in these close ups. I used a couple of Edge rulers from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple to quilt all the lines.

You can see that I quilted my Overlapping Circles design in the rest of the background from the road out to the border. It’s one of my favorite designs to quilt freemotion, and it’s also one of the designs I teach in my course. It’s a fabulous design and creates the best texture!! It also fills up a space quite nicely.

These buildings are so clever!! I think this pattern, if I remember right, is a foundation paper piecing pattern.

Thanks for stopping by!! If you’re interested in having me quilt edge to edge for you, check out my calendar. Happy quilting!! • Leisha

Terri’s Flower Farm Quilt

Hello there,

I have a sweet quilt to share with you today!!

Terri made this lovely Flower Farm quilt by Anne from Bunny Hill Designs. I think these are Anne’s fabrics as well, if I’m not mistaken.

My goal was to create lots of texture and make each block stand out on its own. If your a longarm quilter and would like to learn some freehand or freemotion quilting designs, like I’ve quilted here, let me teach you. I have a 10 video freemotion quilting course called Quilting It Freemotion. I start off with Stippling and work my way thru a variety of different designs. You can pick and choose which design you’d like to learn, or grab the whole bundle. It could be just the thing you’ve been waiting for!!

I used my favorite Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

I quilted pebbles, crackle, grass, arcs, ribbon candy, my overlapping circles, stippling, loops, swirls, feathers and more. I quilted them in multiple blocks throughout the quilt which creates cohesion and movement.

I love the sweet touches that custom quilting can add to such a beautiful quilt.

I wish you could all see it in person. The pictures never do it justice.

Thanks for being here!! If you’re interested in having me quilt for you, check out my edge to edge quilting calendar.

Have a happy day and I hope you get time to sew. • leisha

Morgan’s Yankee Doodle Dandy Quilt

Hello!!

I can’t believe summer is coming to an end, this year has flown by! I actually have a beautiful fall quilt on my machine ready to quilt tomorrow.

Morgan made this beautiful Yankee Doodle Dandy quilt by Holly from Maker Valley. It’s such a fun modern twist on a flag quilt!!

I used Patricia Ritter and my Liberty quilting design, which is available at Urban Elememtz, to quilt it. I love the mixture of swirls, pebbles, and stars in the design. If you love our Marmalade design, Liberty is a variation of it.

I used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline and my favorite Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads.

I close up on some of the fun fabrics that Morgan used. I love quilts like this that are scrappy and you can use a variety of low volume prints.

If you’re interested in having me quilt for you, check out my edge to edge calendar. I have lots of openings. Sometimes my calendar fills up quickly this time of year, so don’t wait too long to get those Christmas quilts quilted.

Thanks for stopping by!! Happy Quilting! • leisha

Kathy’s “Who’s in My Garden” Quilt

Hello,

This incredible quilt was on my machine back in February, and with a little bit of time this afternoon I want to tell you about it.

Kathy created this design herself and called it “Who’s in My Garden”. Which, if you notice all the little creatures…you’ll see who visits her garden. There is no pattern for this. She had the center panel for awhile and possibly the floral border fabric, which she designed the whole quilt around. There are 7 pieced borders on this quilt.

The delicate floral arrangement in the center is so beautiful and classy, and I didn’t want to take away from that with the quilting so I cross hatched it with a long Edge ruler from Linda at the Quilted Pineapple.

I quilted my freehand Overlapping Circles design in the corners behind the birds. If you’re interested in having me teach you how to quilt freemotion from the comfort of your own home, check out my Quilting It Freemotion course.

Then I just kept quilting and trying to highlight each border, repeating some of the designs to create cohesion throughout the quilt.

If you’re interested…Check out the quilting details for the first couple of borders in this instagram video. I used my 4” Circle2 ruler for curves behind the outside scalloped blue border. My Circle2 rulers are available in my shop, in a set of 6 ranging from 2” up to 13”…with two circles per ruler. Check them out!!!

I share the rest of the border quilting designs in this video. I used my 5” Circle2 ruler for the petals in the flying geese blocks. More freehand Overlapping Circles and lots and lots of lines.

I used Hobbs wool batting and natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads.

This quilt is amazing, and it was fun to create so much beautiful quilty texture!!

I’m still not taking on custom quilting at the moment, but if you’re interested in edge to edge quilting please check my schedule.

Thanks for stopping by!! Happy quilting. • leisha

• Madi’s My Happy Place Mini Quilt •

Hi Friend,

I hope you’re back into your sewing groove, I’m trying to get there and it’s exciting!! I have three quilts I’m working on, and hoping to finish this year.

I quilted this fun My Happy Place mini quilt for Madi Hastings from Laser Cut Quilts last year, and now I can finally share it.

So fun, right?!?!!!!

As you can see from the pictures, each strip has a different quilting design in it. Starting from the left a 45° pinstripe, my freehand grassy texture, 1/2” grid, my freehand overlapping circles, vertical pinstripes, wood grain, 45° half inch lines, next my freehand crackle, horizontal pinstripe, mixed freehand pebbles and swirls, my overlapping lines, and finishing off with a stipple.

If you’d like to learn how to freemotion quilt, I can help you with that!! I have a Quilting It Freemotion video course available in my shop. There are 10 videos to choose from or you can get the bundle of all 10. Seven of the designs on this quilt are taught in my course. Check it out!!

I quilted the machine down with a straight stitch along the edge, which I don’t love to do. Doing an appliqué stitch of your choice before taking it to your quilter is the best option.

These are the colors I used…yes I changed the thread for each strip of fabric. Madi didn’t request it, but knowing it was going into a magazine, I wanted to give her my best work. As you can see there are a variety of colors and brands of thread.

I used a scrap of 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles, which is out of Utah.

Such fun texture!! Loved quilting this.

Sometime in the future Madi will be able to sell this in a kit with the machine and letters laser cut, until then all the details are in Quiltmaker.

Get your Quiltmaker Jan/Feb 2023 issue on their website or in your local grocery store, it’s also available in a digital format on their website.

It was exciting to see my freehand work published in a magazine.

They even did a diagram of my quilting…which isn’t quite right. Hopefully you can see what I did from the pictures I shared above.

If you’d like me to quilt for you, check my calendar and sign up for a day or send me an email and I can help you sign up. quiltingit@gmail.com

Thank you!! - Leisha

Laurie’s Grandbaby Quilt

Hello there,

I have a quick and super cute quilt to share with you today!! Laurie made this for her first granddaughter!! I’m so excited for her! I’ve known Laurie for years and used to babysit her kids, so it’s fun for me to see her kids having kids of their own.

The pattern is called Layer Cake Loop, which is a free pattern from the Fat Quarter Shop.

Laurie used the super cute fabrics by Maureen McCormick called Flower Power…So cute, huh?!?!

I used the sweet panto from my dear friend Shelly’s mum shop called Sprig! I quilts out beautifully and it creates such beautiful texture.

I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles and Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads.

Check out all that beautiful texture…

And, she chose white minky for the backing!!

If you’re interested in having me quilt for you, check out my calendar and signup for a day!! I have lots of openings before Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by!! Hope you find some time to sew. - Leisha

Kathy’s Quilts

Hello there,

I have a few cute quilts to show you!! Kathy made all three of these quilts, so I’m going to share them all in this post.

First up, this fun Love, Sweet Love quilt. It’s actually a boxed kit from Riley Blake. The fabrics are by Amber Kemp-Gerstel. So cute, right?!?!

I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles and natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads.

Kathy picked a design off of Urban Elememtz called Alpine Grande by Patricia Ritter, which I hadn’t seen before. I love how it turned out!!

How cute is that eyelash background fabric?!!!

Another view…

This quilt is so happy…people reaching out for one another even in diversity…which we all need to do. Our differences can be celebrated and be something that brings us together.

Next up…

This quilt and the next are using the same Jenny Doan pattern that is in the Quilter’s 10” Precut Companion book. These fabrics are by Holly Taylor from her Sunflower Garden line.

I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles and a golden tan Omni thread from Superior Threads, that blends well with the fabrics.

Kathy requested Maureen’s Sunflowers from Urban Elememtz for the quilting design, which is another new design for me.

It’s fun to see sunflower fabrics again!! My sister and I had dresses in our early teen years that my mom made us, with almost identical sunflower fabric.

Next up…

This is the same pattern as the last quilt, just in different fabrics. These are from the Forest Fables fabric line by Paintbrush Studio Fabrics.

Kathy requested the Gummy Bears quilting design by Patricia Ritter, which is available at Urban Elememtz. Which is such a sweet design!!

I used a golden tan Omni thread from Superior Threads, and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

The bears and stars dance across the quilt!!

Another view…

Thanks for stopping by!! Hope you find some time to sew soon, I sure need to.

If you’re interested in having me quilt a quilt for you, please look at my calendar. Thank you!! • leisha

Susan’s Goose Crossing Quilt

Hello there,

It’s been too long, and I have lots to catch up on…life has been crazy for me. Hopefully I can get back into a blogging groove, because I’ve quilted some pretty amazing quilts over the last several months.

Susan made this incredible Goose Crossings quilt, which is in the Autumn Bouquet book by Sharon Keightley. So amazing, huh?!?!

Susan used fabrics from several lines by Kim Diehl. Kim’s fabrics are so rich and stunning, and they go so beautifully together.

My quilting plan was to make the appliqué pop!! I quilted all the lines with an Edge ruler from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple and my Overlapping Circles freehand design in the background behind the flowers. The flowers themselves have no quilting in them. With how dense the quilting is, I don’t think it’s necessary. I quilted 1/2” squares in the very center of the background.

I used Almond Omni thread from Superior Threads, which is a perfect cream color.

The cornerstone blocks gave me the opportunity to quilt a simple grid design in the corners. Which I love with the petals.

To help the flying geese pop and create a beautiful frame around the flower blocks, I quilted simple petals using my 3” Circle2 ruler. (Pictured below) My Circle2 machine quilting circle rulers are available in my shop, and come in a set of six ranging in sizes from 2” to 13”. They are such a great tool to have when you’re freemotion quilting. There are two circles in each ruler, the one below is the 3”/9” ruler. 3” on the inside and 9” on the outside. They are made in America from high quality 1/4” acrylic.

• Design Patent D875,574 •

The pop of red Susan put in the inner border is perfect. I quilted a freehand ribbon candy inside which ties everything together.

More Overlapping Circles, which I teach in my Quilting It Freemotion course, between the flowers and the inner border, with 3/4” lines from the flowers to the outside edge of the quilt.

I used two layers of batting. A 8020 cotton poly blend on the bottom from Winline Textiles, with a layer of Hobbs wool on top. I love that combo. I also love wool with bamboo. I recommend double batts on wallhangings or show quilts…or ones with lots and lots of dense quilting, it helps everything pop in the best way!

I wish you could all see this one in person. It’s incredible!!!

Thanks for stopping by!! My edge to edge quilting schedule is available, I’m not taking on any custom quilting right now. Happy quilting!!

Ashley’s Star Sampler Quilt

I have a little down time while we are camping, so I thought I would share Ashley’s beautiful quilt!

Ashley made this gorgeous star sampler quilt with Camille from Thimble Blossoms Nantucket Summer fabric line. Isn’t it beautiful?!?! I’m making a Swoon 16 with this same fabric line, it’s such a beautiful line.

I used my favorite Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads and a cotton poly blend batting the Ashley sent along with her quilt.

I wish you could each see this one in person, pictures never do a quilt justice.

Ashley chose my Wicker quilting design, and I am beyond thrilled with the outcome. Wicker is available in my shop, in several different digital formats.

Do you have a quilt that you’d like me to quilt Wicker on? Look at my schedule and signup for a day.

This quilty texture is so great on a variety of different quilts.

Thanks for stopping by, have a happy quilty day! Leisha
