I'm not entirely sure what sparked a monster to come into my head when I looked at this quilt. I think it may have been the contrast of the green and bright purple/pink fabrics. It could also have been inspired by the maker of this quilt saying that she loves all the weird stuff in...
Although the premise behind getting a quilt backing to the correct side sounds simple it seems to be a very prevalent problem. Unfortunately, if a quilt backing is smaller than the top it really is in the best interest of the quilt to find a new backing or add more fabric to attain the 4"...
Well, this quilt was an interesting one. This quilt was sent to me by Annie in British Columbia, Canada. I was very inspired by the Fibonacci shape (the golden spiral). It reminded me most strongly of a sea shell. So, I decided to add some water-inspired elements mixed...
Who doesn't love a puppy quilt? I really enjoyed quilting this for Monette (Kamloops, B.C.). I'm unsure of the name of this quilt pattern (Patty Whack?), but I know it was published in a magazine, and Monette, enlarged the pattern from a wall hanging to a baby-size quilt.

As a custom quilter, I sometimes have the tendency to over-quilt things. But most of the quilts that come into my studio are bed quilts (shocker lol). Not every single quilt needs to be a fantastic show-worthy work of art. If you want to watch the video you can find the...

I received this quilt top in the mail from one of my long-term customers Monette from Kamloops, BC. She requested that I custom quilt it and gave me free rein to do what I wanted. Sometimes it's awesome to just go to town on some designs that have been percolating in my head for quite...
