New Swirls Template

Last week I received my newest Circle Lord Template, “Swirls” for my long arm.

This is a customer quilt that I just finished using that template. Isn’t a wonderful design!

This quilt does not have a quilt bat. Rather, the customer brought me a wool blanket (that had been washed several times) to use as batting. Even though the blanket has virtually no loft, the design of the quilting still shows.

I can see lots of quilts using this template in my future!




A Week for Gifts

Last week was a week for gifts.

I received these cute potholders from Phyllis as a thank you for quilting the following quilt for my quilt guild’s We Care Committee. The quilt was far too large for the ladies to manage to quilt easily on their domestic machines. I told them that I wouldn’t mind doing the quilting for them. I returned the quilt to Phyllis (one of the We Care Committee coordinators) on Wednesday night at our guild meting. The piecer has the quilt back to put the binding on. Once the quilt is bound and labelled it will be donated to a new hospice starting up in our community.

I love anything with snowmen on it. I collect snowmen. I love snowmen! I thought to myself, what a wonderful gift. I asked Phyllis, how she knew her gift would be so perfect and she whispered to me, “I read your blog!”. What a perfect lead into my presentation on blogging that night!



This is the quilt that will be donated to our local hospice.

I also received a package in the mail from Carol of Giraffe Dreams. Thank you Carol for the wonderful fabric and lovely cards depicting scenes of your community!
