Fun Custom Quilts

I love to quilt.... 

So, have I told you that I  LOVE to quilt and do a LOT of custom quilts?  Quilts for friends and friends of friends and relatives of friends and so on...  Some of my clients like to pick the fabrics and the patterns and set me to work,  some give me a general idea  like "Make me a baby quilt with a monkey on it" and some just say make me a colorful quilt!   Either way I just love it!

This is my latest custom quilt, my neighbor asked for a baby quilt with a monkey on it.  I had the cute little swinging monkey fabric on hand and I downloaded an image of the larger monkey and pieced it together to applique onto the top!   This was so much fun to make.  I love the monkeys and the bright colors. Plus on the back I used a super soft minky fabric and did a free hand scroll on the quilting.


This is one is for a friend of a friend and He asked for something colorful! So....what is more colorful than Batiks?  I designed the pattern to be masculine, yet geometrically interesting, and oh yes, VERY COLORFUL!
  

Baby Quilt with skewed squares also with a minke back!



Luke's quilt (my precious Grandson!), I love the modern twist and mix of fabrics.




Last (at least for this post) but not least... The Hope Quilt - two different color schemes one precious sentiment! I love to make these and they make great gifts for anyone who may be ill or just generally struggling with life!  Crafted from fabrics and panels on my website www.All-Sewn-Together.com!




I would love to talk with you if  you are interested in having me do a quilt for you.  Please check out the Custom Services Information page on my website for sizing options, quilting options and pricing, or email me at

New Fabric for a NEW YEAR!



HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

We are so excited to see what 2014 brings!

So lets kick if off by starting with NEW FABRIC on All-Sewn-Together.com!
(sound the trumpets...)

Introducing........Lola, by dearStella.



Dear Stella is a unique fabric brand with modern style. The collection evokes an edgy freshness, combining the best of old traditions with modern influences. These beautiful fabrics will inspire both a traditional quilter and a contemporary “sewist” to reinvent their sewing style.

This is not just for quilting (although we think that would be the most fun!)  Think of all the cute things  you can do with this fabric in this color pallete.  Rich Navy/Indigo blue, Citron and Grey really push this collection toward the modern!

Check out this quilt that dearStella featured in a blog post on their web site using these Lola fabrics!  You can view the full post by clicking on the image.


BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! 

Check out these other fabrics from dearStella from the Honey Crisp Collection.  I needed to add some rich and creamy browns to the web site and I found these and just had to have them! Aren't they just dreamy! sigh....
