Halloween Saturday Sampler

American Quilting hosts some darling Saturday Sampler quilts, this year they hosted a Halloween quilt and it's darling! Seriously, one of the cutest Halloween quilt's I've ever seen! 

This is Maryann's version, it's darling! I custom machine quilted it for her and had a lot of fun doing so. I added fun little details, the row above has little spiderwebs. :)

There are also little spider webs hidden in the borders.

I may have taken too many pictures but I love it! :)

I love these little characters, they are so dang cute!
Can you believe that Halloween is only 3 1/2 months away? Seriously, this year has flown by!

Lone Star Quilt

Jan pieced this beautiful Lone Star Quilt. 

I've never made myself a quilt this traditional but after finishing the quilting on this beautiful quilt I'm definitely adding a Lone Star Quilt to my bucket list!

Jan sent me her ideas of how she wanted the quilt machine quilted and then I had at it, and I have to admit, I love, love, love how it turned out. So below is a picture overload. Yes, I had to take a ton of pictures! :)

The quilt back turned out beautiful as well. :)

Thanks for letting me machine quilt your beautiful quilt Jan! I really love it!

Dove Visible Care Body Wash - Product Review & Give-away!

;

Every once in a while I get the opportunity to review new products for Blogher. Today is another one of those great days! I really do love to review new products.
For me this Dove Visible Care Body Wash has been a really fun product to review. For a few reasons, one of them being that I am a mom who does work full time away from my home, machine quilting, and my children go with me every day. I love my children more than anything, but.... I do need a break from them, a little bit of me time. It's pretty much a known thing around my house that as soon as we get home from work I head straight into the bathroom and take a bath. Bathing is so relaxing to me and it's one of the only places that I can lock the door and have some quiet time.

Chevron Wedding Quilt

Okay, so who isn't crushing on chevrons right now?I am! I totally want to make myself a Chevron quilt! This darling quilt is a wedding gift. 

I custom machine quilted this darling quilt, chevrons in the chevrons and then custom borders. The custom borders include writing, it's so much fun to add a little detail with writing on quilts.

Across the top is the couples names and wedding date and then along the bottom border the quilting says "together is the best place to be." I love, love, love it!
Hope you're having a great day! Are you working on anything fun today?

Americana Quilt

Maryann pieced this darling Americana quilt. I love that she mixed in the greens, just darling!

I custom machine quilted it for her, lots of feathers, you know I love feathers! and then a few stars and waves. I love how it turned out. 

The backing is a solid flannel, it gave the quilt a bit of extra loft and the quilting really stands out on the back.
