Climbing Roses

March 27, 2017/ Phoebe Roth

So I realize that I don't post frequently enough, but I was struck that my last post was about another rose styled quilt. This quilt was brought to me by a customer who had used her brother-in-law's shirts to make a Lover's Knot quilt for her sister. Stitching on that fabric was dreamy!

Growing Roses

So, this post is going to be mostly pictures. I had the pleasure of quilting for a new customer who made this gorgeous Granny Square quilt from a bright pink and a collection of fat quarters, and I love the back almost as much as the front.

Getting Married

December 23, 2016/ Phoebe Roth

So, when a good friend from college got married this fall, my husband said WE should make them a quilt. I thought he meant himself and the mouse in his pocket! I asked my friend and her then-fiance each for three colors and was given blue, gray, green, yellow, and red. Quite the challenge! I love how it turned out.

Getting Off Track

December 08, 2016/ Phoebe Roth

So, Cheryl Sleboda at muppin.com posted her yearly "blog for 31 days challenge." I'm a wee(k) bit behind, but better late than never I guess. I quilted this customer quilt last week and really like how it came out. The pattern itself is Off Track. My customer said she was good with something simple but I could quilt what I want. Y'all know I don't do simple, right?

Here it is!

Disappearing Nine-Patch

July 28, 2014/ Phoebe Roth

So I've been intrigued with the disappearing 9-patch and disappearing 4-patch blocks ever since I first saw them. There are some really cool tutorials out there taking it a step further by cutting on the diagonal, but I wanted to start simple, which SO isn't me.

Sneaking a peek

Here's a stack of lovely pink and gray squares hot off the rotary cutter.

Creating order from chaos

June 10, 2014/ Phoebe Roth

This quilt has been hanging around my sewing studio for months! It's been up on the design wall. It's been on the floor in hundreds of triangles after I left the window open on a windy day. It's been stacked neatly on my ironing board while I cut and designed something else. With the longarm machine out of the way, there really is no excuse for it not being finished.

Getting back in the saddle

April 18, 2014/ Phoebe Roth

I've recently moved my longarm quilting machine into a new location! That one small move has generated so much creativity! Since moving it over there just over a month ago, I have completed quilting on two quilts that had been hanging around in my sewing studio for just too long. Below are some pics of the red, white and blue Streak of Lightning. I'm calling it Stars and Stripes Forever because it took so long to finish.

Quilting?

September 03, 2012/ Phoebe Roth

So, I’ve begun to wonder about the Quilted in QuiltedPig. Honestly it’s because I have not been having a nice time with my quilting machine.
