Heidi’s Omigosh Quilt

Earlier this year I had the opportunity to custom quilt this incredible quilt that Heidi made!!! Those little squares are 1/2” big. I’m amazed at the beauty and complexity of this one.

The pattern is by Sue Garman and it’s called, Omigosh. The pattern is available here: https://www.comequilt.com/shop/c/p/Omigosh-Digital-x67416969.htm

This would be such a great scrap buster quilt!

I used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

Such a classic quilt, deserves a classic stipple. I love that is what Heidi requested. A stipple is one of those first designs to learn as you set out to start custom quilting. If you’re interested in getting started, I have just the right course for you. My Quilting It Freemotion course. It is available on my website, go to: https://www.quiltingit.com/quilting-it-freemotion-course Stippling is the first design I teach, with 9 other designs to follow.

I used my favorite cream Omni thread for the center and white thin border and a red coordinating thread for the two red borders.

I did ribbon candy, pebbles, and my swirly feathers…the pebbles and swirly feathers are also designs I teach in my Quilting It Freemotion course. https://www.quiltingit.com/quilting-it-freemotion-course

Close up on the amazing piecing that Heidi did!!!

Below are the details Heidi shared on her instagram of this quilt!! It’s fun to see. If I made a quilt like this, I totally would count everything, too. Which I have done on other quilts that I’ve made that have tons of pieces. It’s fun to have all of those statistics.

If you’re interested in having me quilt for you, check out my edge to edge quilting calendar and schedule a day or two. I still have availability before Christmas. https://calendly.com/quiltingit/edgetoedge

Louise’s Pastel Stars Table Runner

I love it when a new client sends her friends or sisters to me, too! Thank you, Louise!

Louise sews in a group with some of my other clients and she started bringing me her projects this year, and two of her sisters have as well!! It’s fun to see their different tastes in fabric or patterns.

This fun table runner Louise made with the Pastel Stars table runner pattern by Mimi’s Quilts and More: https://mimisquiltsandmore.com/products/pastel-stars-table-runner

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

Louise said to surprise her with a quilting design, so I chose my Sweet Orange Peel panto. It’s available on my shop, go to: https://www.quiltingit.com/shop/p/sweet-orange-peel

Sweet Orange Peel is one of my best sellers!

Love the curves on all of the straight lines, I think it softens them up a bit.

I have oodles of pictures to share in hopes that you can see the details more clearly. Here is the center, and all the borders or blocks build off from here.

Here are the left and right sides of the center block.

Below are the beautiful stars with the circles on the left side.

I used the Pyrex Stems panto from Julie Hirt, which is one of the few Kristan picked for me to choose from. Which I think turned out so fun, especially with all of the beautiful fabrics she used. Pyrex Stems can be found here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/577305907/pyrex-stems-longarm-quilting-digital

I also used my favorite cream Omni (3004) thread from Superior Threads to quilt it, and 4 oz bamboo batting from Winline Textiles.

Peace by Piece • Festival of Trees Quilt

A local quilt guild has been excitedly making several quilts to help with two local charities, one of which is the Festival of Trees. The Festival of Trees is a fundraising event the beginning of every December which supports Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City. The amazing medical professionals at this hospital have helped a few of my niece and nephews. I love to give back to them, even in small ways. To find out more about the organization, to go: https://intermountainhealthcare.org/foundation/festival-of-trees

Two of my friends in this guild are quilting several of the quilts, so I offered to quilt one. The bright and happy dots are sure to cheer up whoever receives this quilt. I’m not sure if it will be donated to a child or auctioned off. Either way, I’m happy it’s on its way.

I quilted the quilt with the Soho panto design by Sarah Ann Myers, which can be found at Urban Elementz. https://www.urbanelementz.com/soho.html

I’m not sure what the quilt pattern is. It reminds me of a classic chain block with a simple square every other block.

I used my go to favorite Omni thread from Superior Threads, Natural White 3002. It blends so beautifully over every color. To try it out on your machine, go to: https://www.superiorthreads.com/omni-3002-natural-white/p/134-02-3002

I’m a Superior Thread Ambassador, if you’d like 10% off your order, use code “ASTLEISHA”, which can’t be used with any other promotion.

The guild supplied some polyester batting which adds a fun little dimension to the quilt.

The quilt was pieced by Jan and will be bound by Joleene, both members of the guild. The fabrics are from Riley Blake.

Joleene also told me of a local need. There are so many kids and teens in our area, as well as other parts of the country, who have no blanket or quilt to sleep with and they’re sleeping on the floor. I encourage you to look for a place in your area to donate an extra quilt or two you may not be using. Let’s see if we can make a difference one quilt at a time!

Look at all those happy colors.

Kathy’s amazing Blooming Star Quilt

Excited to share this stunning quilt that I custom quilted earlier this summer!!

Kathy always does an incredible job, and this Blooming Star quilt is one of the most amazing ones she’s sent me to quilt. The latter is called Blooming Star by Edita Sitar. Here is a link to the pdf pattern, if you love paper patterns she sells them, too. It looks like she may even have some kits available, which may be available for long. https://www.laundrybasketquilts.com/online-store/Blooming-Star-PDF-download-p232395443

When I saw that Kathy wanted wool batting on her machine quilting form, I was excited to have the custom quilting pop!! I use Hobbs wool.

Can you believe all that detail???! The inner points of the star that go around the circle are dimensional, and pop up with the combination of wool batting and quilty textures.

I love a neutral thread on quilts like this! Omni from Superior Threads is my favorite thread. It’s thick and quilts out beautifully. I used the cream #3004 Omni thread for this quilt, it blends beautifully. It’s available at Superior Threads, go to: https://www.superiorthreads.com/omni-3004-cream/p/134-02-3004

All the beautiful lines were quilted using an Edge ruler from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple. Her Edge rulers are my favorite straight rulers!! https://www.thequiltedpineapple.com/shop/

I wanted to highlight the blocks so I decided to quilt around each block and do a pebble with an occasional swirl in the background. I quilted a swirl with a couple of feathers in each star pieces with 1/2” cross hatched squares on point in the center of the block. For the triangle edge blocks I quilted my freehand Swirly Feather. Both the Swirly Feather and Pebbles are designs I teach in my Quilted It Freemotion video course. Check it out on my website: go to… https://www.quiltingit.com/quilting-it-freemotion-course

Will’s Baby Quilt

Will made this sweet baby quilt, unfortunately I don’t know the name of the pattern. It can easily be made with half square triangles. These were around 3.5”-4”, if I remember right. If someone knows the pattern, please let me know.

I gave Will a few choices and he chose Sweet Marmalade, which is fun!! It is one of Patricia Ritter and my panto designs, which is available at Urban Elementz. Go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/sweet-marmalade.html

I used bamboo batting from Winline Textiles and my favorite Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads.

The quilty texture is sooo good!!

Angie’s Strawberry Social Quilt

I’m so excited to share this absolutely adorable strawberry quilt with you!!!

Angie’s daughter ate lots of strawberries when she was pregnant with her baby girl, so she had to make her this sweet quilt.

The pattern is called Strawberry Social by Margot from The Pattern Basket. Here is a link to her pdf pattern in her Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1001011999/strawberry-social-quilt-pattern-pdf

When I first saw the quilt I immediately thought that the Soho panto design by Sarah Ann Myers would be perfect for it!! That swirl that comes to a point is probably one of my favorites. Soho is available at Urban Elementz: https://www.urbanelementz.com/soho.html

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

I love the red pin dot background fabric and the variety of fabrics she used for the strawberries.

That swirly texture is so good!!

One more 🍓

It’s even more darling with this pinkish red minky on the backing.

Midway Wool Quilts

Back in April I quilted these fun mini quilts for Midway Wool. There are fun wool textures on each quilt!!

This first one is called Grace by Jan Speed from A Piece of Work. The delicate stitching and wool textures are so beautiful!! Midway Wool has kits available on their website.

https://midwaywool.com/collections/kits-patterns/products/grace-kit-or-pattern

I used my favorite Edge ruler from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple to quilt the cross hatching on the border. https://www.thequiltedpineapple.com/shop/

I quilted pebbles and swirls in the center part, which are some of my favorites to quilt around appliqué or embroidery. If you’re interested in learning how to freemotion quilt, I’d love to help you!! Check out my Quilting It Freemotion Course on my website. https://www.quiltingit.com/quilting-it-freemotion-course

I close up on the beautifully delicate flowers. I didn’t quilt the mini black border. I think it’s fine to leave a part unquilted, if there is lots of quilting around it.

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

Next up,

Gretta’s Flock by Midway Wool. This would be a fun runner, wall hanging, or pillow. A kit is available on their website at: https://midwaywool.com/collections/kits-patterns/products/grettas-flock

When Anna dropped this off for me to quilt, I asked her about quilting crackle in the background…she said Yes!!! I definitely don’t freehand chicken wire, but I thought it would be great to do something that fits the overall look of the wall hanging without being so predictable and quilting chicken wire. I teach crackle in my Quilting It Freemotion Course, check it out! https://www.quiltingit.com/quilting-it-freemotion-course

I quilted a 1/2” diagonal line on the pinstripe, which adds texture and interest. I used Linda’s Edge ruler for the diagonal lines. The Crackle is freehand.

Look at these details!!

I used cream and black Omni thread from Superior Threads and Winline Textiles 8020 for the batting.

Last one…

It’s called Hen Party by Lamb Farm Designs, so fun!!! The kit is available here: https://midwaywool.com/products/hen-party

I think most of this one is wool, including the red sashing. Because of the thickness of the layers I couldn’t quilt the hens. Plus I didn’t want to take away from the beautiful stitches.

I quilted my Grass and Wood Grain freehand designs, which I also teach in my Quilting It Freemotion course. Go to: https://www.quiltingit.com/quilting-it-freemotion-course

I used the Deep Cardinal red and cream Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

I quilted my freehand Swirly Feather in the outer border, which is also a design I teach in my Quilting It Freemotion Course. https://www.quiltingit.com/quilting-it-freemotion-course

I did quilt in the ditch on these steps because it was just poking up too much. Nice thing, you can’t even tell. You can see the pop in person though. So good!!

Stacey’s Nature’s Watercolor mini quilt

This absolutely stunning mini quilt is incredible. Those squares are so small!

The pattern is called Nature’s Watercolor by Kansas Troubles and Stacey uses Fluttering Leaves fabric collection.

I used a scrap piece of 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles and cream Omni thread from Superior Threads.

I decided to quilt little x’s in each square using an Edge ruler from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple. https://www.thequiltedpineapple.com/shop/

I used my 7” Circle2 ruler to quilt the curves in the outside border. My Circle2 rulers are available in a set of 6, and are available in my shop. Go to: https://www.quiltingit.com/shop/rulers

I quilted freehand swirly feathers in the background and inner border, and then an x and swirl alternating in the mini square border. Are you interested in learning how to quilt freemotion? Check out my Quilting It Freemotion video course, which is available on my website. Go to: https://www.quiltingit.com/quilting-it-freemotion-course

Stacey also sent this adorable Snow Fun panel to be quilted. The panel is by Liza Lewis. Here is a link, once it sells out try googling it to see if more is available. https://fabricshack.com/products/snow-fun-panel-ski-lift-sky

Stacey chose Ginger Snap by Apricot Moon Designs for the quilting, which turned out so fun!! Ginger Snap is available at Urban Elementz https://www.urbanelementz.com/ginger-snap.html

Laurie’s Color in the Lines Quilt

This super sweet baby quilt is for Laurie’s first granddaughter!!! I’ve been friends with Laurie for awhile, and even babysat her kids. It’s exciting she finally has a granddaughter to go with her cute grandsons.

The pattern is called Color in the Lines which is in the book Charming Baby Quilts by Melissa Corry. You can get a copy in her Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/780104880/charming-baby-quilts-signed-paperback

The fabrics that Laurie chose have cute little things from France. I’m not sure who it is by.

She looked through my designs and chose Vintage Lace, which was exciting for me because I hadn’t put it on a quilt yet. It was perfect for the fabrics. The texture is so lovely. Vintage Lace is available in my shop, go to: https://www.quiltingit.com/shop/p/vintage-lace

It quilted out so beautifully!!

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

The back has minky on it, so it’s extra cuddly.

This is why I love solid minky!!! The quilting provides unique texture that is so lovely.

Angie’s Pinwheel Baby Quilt

Love this super sweet baby pinwheel quilt that Angie made for her new granddaughter.

There are so many pinwheel patterns out there, I’ll let you pick one that you can find. One thing that help the pinwheels to stand out is adding the sashing and cornerstone blocks. Which also gives you the freedom to alternate the blocks, like Angie did every other row.

I used natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads, which is my go to thread of choice. I also used Winline Textiles 8020 cotton poly blend batting.

The panto design is Rose Vine by Norma Sharp. It’s a free one that came on my Gammill Statler.

Love this quilty texture!!

Look at the minky backing!! Texture on texture.

Denise’s Kracken Quilt

Isn’t this quilt amazing?!?!!!! Denise has made a few other Legit Kit quilts, and this Kracken quilt is one of them.

The kit is available here: https://legitkits.com/products/the-kracken-full-quilt-top-kit

Denise wanted an organic wavy line and I asked if it would be okay to add random circles throughout. When I think of octopuses I think of bubbles. I love how it turned out. I quilted everything freehand. I quilted the wavy lines first and then quilted the circles in here and there between the gaps in the curves.

I used an aqua colored thread from Superior Threads, I can’t remember if it was an Omni thread or a different one. I also used my favorite 8020 cotton poly batting from Winline Textiles.

Look at the incredible details on the face and arms. Amazing!!

Denise’s son wanted this quilt, lucky him!!!

Here is a close up of the wavy organic texture and circles.

I tried to make the quilting as random as possible.

Look at the details on the arms!! I was going to say tentacles but looked up the spelling and google said octopuses have arms with suckers on them, not tentacles. 🐙 Learning new things all the time.

Denise found this fun minky for the backing, which added a fun additional texture.

Heidi’s Special Vintage Quilt

Excited to share this stunning quilt with you!!

Heidi was given some of her grandmother’s hand embroidered dresser scarves and pillowcases, and she decided to make a beautiful quilt with them after seeing a quilt from Elsie Grays in Australia. She ordered precut diamonds in the most gorgeous fabrics from Elsie Grays, which was a fun shipment for her to receive in the US.

Here is a link to the fabric stores instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elsiegrays

Then she fussy cut the scarves and pillow cases, and let me tell you…this quilt is such a keepsake. I love the texture and details those stitches add, plus it’s a piece of her grandma.

If I had these precious heirlooms, I would make one too.

Heidi chose Patricia Ritter and my Haven panto design for the quilting. She wanted something loose and swirly. It’s a great choice. Haven is available at Urban Elementz : https://www.urbanelementz.com/haven.html

I used cream Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles which is based out of Utah.

Look at those embroidery details. 💕

Will’s Prairie Tracks Quilt

How beautiful is this quilt?!?! Will sent me this beautiful quilt to quilt a few months ago.

It’s the Prairie Tracks quilt by Cotton and Joy. The pattern is available here: https://cottonandjoy.com/products/prairie-tracks-quilt-pattern

I love the mini square in the center of the block with the mini strip of fabric. It’s almost as if the sashing and cornerstones that are typically around the blocks are inside this block. It makes the star blocks stand out more.

I used bamboo batting from Winline Textiles…have you tried bamboo on one of your quilts yet? You should! I have 4 oz and 6 oz available. Send me your quilt and we can try it out. I love the 8020 I use, but the bamboo is super soft.

I gave Will a few choices, and he chose Patricia Ritter’s and my Sweet Indigo design. Which happens to be my favorite floral panto design. Sweet Indigo is available at Urban Elementz. https://www.urbanelementz.com/sweet-indigo.html

I used natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads, if you’ve been around here for awhile you know it’s my go to favorite. It blends so well!!

Carol’s Landscape Collage Quilt

Over my nearly 19 year longarm quilting career, I haven’t quilted many landscape or collage quilts…I can think of maybe one other.

Amazing, huh?!?! Carol took a picture, of a cactus with the mountains in the distance, and decided to do a collage quilt. Wait until you see the picture…it’s incredible she was able to get the cactus to be so similar.

The quilt size is a lot smaller than you’d think, which makes the details even more impressive. Around 20”x30”. She found an ombré background for the sky, which I love!!!

I did simple organic lines in the sky, straight lines in the blue mountains…which are like the Overlapping Lines that I teach in my Quilting It Freemotion course, echoed lines in the tan mountains, and my freehand Grass design that I also teach in my Quilting It Freemotion course.

For more info on my course, go to: https://www.quiltingit.com/quilting-it-freemotion-course

I’d love to teach you how to get started with freemotion quilting. Let me know if you have any questions.

See that quilty texture, sooo good!

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

Here is Carol’s picture she sent…amazing that she could take a photo/memory and turn it into an amazing quilt!
