Starting the new year off hanging with Aunt Bea!! This quilt measures roughly 64” x 82” and was pieced by a friend for another friend. I am honored to be able to help quilt it for her. She is a newbie self-taught quilter and this is only her second quilt top. ❤️ She’s a great piecer!!

It was pieced and embroidered by hand by the clients 2 grandmothers. I assembled it into the final setting with new fabric, quilted, and finished it. It’s a gift for her sister. 🥰 I am so blessed to be apart of finishing this heirloom!

The original fabric was super thin so I reinforced it with a full backing of muslin and it’s double 80/20 batting.

Machine finished on 1947 Singer 221k “Mae”
Long armed on Gammil “Aunt Bea”
Embroidery label on Husqvarna Rose
Time spent ~ 35 hours

Made these adorable “mug rugs” for a couple fantastic teachers. My 11 year old son actually made the yellow pencil. He is a super sewer and this was a new method for us both - paper piecing!

This beautiful queen size quilt, with custom digitized quilting and custom embroidery, was made for my niece and her new hubby. My daughter added the custom vinyl on the storage bag for an extra touch. 😍
