Locket - An AGF Stitched FREE Pattern

I'm so in love right now, last week I gave my master bedroom a little make-over and I love it! I swear I give it a make-over every couple of months, but when you're a quilt maker you can do that, right?

This new quilt is called Locket, and it's a free Art Gallery Fabrics Stitched with Kimberly pattern.

Hand Applique - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

Emmy made this beautiful hand applique quilt. Emmy is my grandma, and I remember watching her carry these beautiful blocks around with her as she hand stitched each one of them. They are beautiful and her work is amazing!

Emmy has always loved hand quilting, and the hand quilted look, so when she asked me to machine quilt this gorgeous quilt I knew that it needed to have a hand quilted look.
