November update

Good morning,

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  I have been busy quilting thus have lapsed on my posting.  I just wanted to share some pictures of quilts I have done for some customers.

This is the front and backside of a quilt from a customer that asked that I do a design fitting for the quilt.  Barbara Graham came to the CHQ in September and some of our members showed her the mystery quilts they did after reading her books.  This was a lot of fun to quilt.

Another quilt I did for a customer was a simple meandering I did .  All of these were free motion quilting on my Baby Lock Longarm (not computerized).  I love to free motion with my longarm as it is me that is operating the machine not a computer.  Sure the computer has it's place but I want my hands on the handle and create as i go.  

Beautiful colors.  She gave me 2 quilts to quilt for her.  Here is the first one which I love the colors.  I did an overall meandering design as she wanted something that looked like puzzle pieces.  

Well off to my quilt room to complete another quilt.  I will try to post a little more frequently.  My passion is making and quilting quilts for my customers and my family.   Visit my facebook as you will find a poem that AccuQuilt posted at Thanksgivine time.  Beautiful video about God created Quilters.

Happy Holidays From The Longarm of The West Custom Quilting

Can you believe it, it is the last Day of August.  Fall is in the air.  I am Co-Chair for the Community Quilts of Cheyenne Heritage Quilt Guild for this year as well as VP which includes setting up programs for the  Cheyenne Heritage Quilt Guild.  I am so excited to be able to help organize the fabric into Kits for the members to sew, quilt and bind.  Rest assured I am doing some myself as I love to quilt with my own longarm Crown Jewel.

I just completed a Quilt for a customer headed to New York for her Niece's wedding.  I have a couple more to complete today for 2 Customers and I will post those as well here and Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Google, and my web page.

We have been receiving fabric donations, so feel free to contact me or Debbie with your donations.  I will be more than happy to pick up any fabric you care to donate or drop them by at 507 Julianna Road, Cheyenne.  Also willing to pickup within outlying towns close to Cheyenne.  Longarm of the West Custom Quilting ...Quilt shop/Studio is in the back and I am there from 8 a.m until 5 pm or knock on the front door as there is someone always home.  :)

I found in the last donation of cotton and flannel fabrics some preprinted patterns.  Remember those fabrics that had a quilt block preprinted or the animal patterns already printed with instructions to sew.  I found an awesome fabric such as Jingles the Reindeer to sew up and stuff to give to Carol Gardner, who is this year's Boutique  Chair.  Also some fall leave appliques to make a table runner as well to give to Carol.   I love going through fabric and see what others have picked out in fabric choices for projects that had completed.

Longarm of The West Custom Quilting, LLC  A Day spent Quilting is a Day well Spent.  
As soon as I get Jingles completed and the table runner I will post here as well as on Facebook, Pinterest, Google, Twitter, and www.longarmofthewestcustomquilting.com

Happy Quilting and Sewing,
Until we Meet Again :)

BInding a quilt at Longarm of The West Custom quilting, LLC This is so much faster than on my Bernina sewing machine. No more wrestling the quilt. Planning on offering it as a service on my web page to my customers. Quilting and embroidery are my passion. I am passing my knowledge onto my granddaughters. Lexi presently is making her a dress Since we could not find strips of 3 pinks, we bought material enough yardage of 3 colors of pink and making 3-1/2 inch strips. She will then learn how to place a pattern onto the fabric and cut it out and put it together. We will post pictures once she gets this accomplished. Nice to see the sun out and no rain. Have a great day..

I am enjoying my Crown Jewel Babyloc and started a community quilt for Cheyenne Herritage Quilt Guild which I am a member.  This one I am doing my free motion stippling on.  Later on I will try a pangograph.  I sketch out my design on a long sheet and place it on the table to follow with the laser.  I love to create my own pantograph.  

The QBOT is the computer system with lots of designs.  The next project will be a whole-cloth quilt with all the designs that QBOT has on its file.  A great upgrade from my Pfaff Grand Quilter and Inspira frame.  If anyone is interested in purchasing it, give me a call.  

Keep watching as I will show pictures of my little quilt shop/studio.   AccuquiltGo Big and cutters are here.  If you have fabric and want it cut, let me know.  I have some fabric in my studio but adding the online storefront to order fabric as well.  So visit http://www.longarmofthewestcustomquilting.com for the online store.

My Brother applique cutting machine (similar to the big laser machines that cut applique but smaller version) Watch for quilts that I create the applique with the machine and Iron on to the fabric and stitch down.

Happy Quilting and Sewing
