Alas, I finished custom quilting a quilt for Customer S yesterday. This was a Nancy Halvorsen BOM being offered by another LQS. What I love about Customer S is that she will try anything. She knows no fear. She is an accomplished quilter and I think I have quilted a little bit of everything for her. She has paper-pieced with the best of them...appliqued....Hunter's Stars....anything and everything. If things are off a little, she doesn't stress about it. For her, it is about the process, and I love that about her. Here, let me just show you....
I love these colors. You could put this quilt just about anywhere.
This is a close-up of the applique portion...stippling behind the flowers.
Close-up of the quilting. Flash ruined the center for you, but the close-up above should help. Most of the blocks were stitched-in-the-ditch. The borders got quarter inch stitching in from the edges. Gridwork in the background of the setting triangles.
Another thing I love about Customer S is that she lets the quilt talk to me. She drops them off and just says 'whatever'. Now, sometimes if I don't know a customer well, this would be a problem, so I would probe a little deeper. However, with S....well, we are 'in sync'. Another thing I love about Customer S is that she "stretches" me. It is never the same quilt twice and sometimes I have to think outside my normal self.
Speaking of which.....if I get my next UFO done today, you are going to be so proud of me. I've been "playing"!
The guys have the floor grouted. Today they sand the drywall and I am potentiall painting tomorrow. Most people don't look forward to painting. I, however, LOVE IT! There is nothing like a freshly painted room. But, there isn't a white wall in my house....
Have a blessed day!
