Studio

At LAST my lovely studio is near finished and it deserves a few shots :) The wedding ring looking one is being hand quilted and is currently hanging on a hand frame. I started that quilt for my grandmother right before she was diagnosed with lung cancer and she passed shortly after the top was done. She got to see the overall effect but never got to see it finished. The other two quilts are laying on my new quilting table! Well, its technically a target special quilting table back to back with a plain ol desk but its really working wonderfully. Both of the quilts on said table will be going in the shop shortly.
This is a close up of the quilting on the wedding ring looking quilt. My grandma LOVED sunflowers so a sunflower is quilted into each circle and you can't really see them but vines are around each edge in the colored part. The name of this quilt is "Betty's Sunflowers"
This is a close up of the quilting on the girl's twin bed quilt that will be going in the shop. Vines are quilted into each "paddle" to give them direction and different flowers are quilted into each brown square and the center of each main block.
This is a quilt that I made over the weekend. I think it turned out kind of cute :) this will be going in the shop upon completion as well.
And another shot of my studio, this time featuring my ironing board, fabric shelves and "inspiration wall". I have 6 plastic buckets of fabric in the closet but the fabric on the shelf is arranged into sets that I think look good together or that I already have a plan for.

  1. Gorgeous quilts Megan, I love the sunflower, very special. Hi, you left a comment on my blog, but your email didn't come through, so I came here instead. I am using my free motion foot with a Janome machine, I haven't used a Brother, how do you find it? I usually leave all the tension the same as I would for normal stitching, but make sure the foot pressure is lessened (can you do this on a brother?). It doesn't seem to matter on mine whether the feed dogs are dropped or raised, but if that foot pressure is still set for normal sewing it will make it very difficult. I hope this helps,
