Thoughts and photos shared by me ... Marcia. I am a professional modern freestyle long arm quilter and a fiber artist, a photographer, and a novice gardener. I love to create quilted items using old and new fabrics. I am also a mother, a daughter, a friend, a wife and a Grandmama! I am a blogger and I share it all here... Welcome!
This is the colorful quilt that was featured in the Quilting Video. The pattern is "The Easy to Sew Quilt Pattern." It is available for purchase on my website.
This unique quilt looks different every time you make it! See examples in my photo gallery of quilts and quilting. Easy to read and follow. This pattern makes sewing and quilting fun again!

.. I use the quilting machine to thread paint on the fabric pieces with all different colors of threads ...... creates a texture like painting ..... a type of thread painting... really gives the quilt a three dimensional look.... Not necessarily real..... because it's not -- it's a quilted wall hanging! See more pictures of this type of thread painting in the photo gallery.
Quilts will be on display at LouAnn's Quilt Garden in Oelwein, Iowa later today, October 4, 2010.
.... Just choose a line of fabric and stitch it up!!! Using The Easy to Sew Pattern... it will guide you thru' how to choose the fabric and how to sew this easy quilt! Sewing made fun again!
Linda Kowalski made the brown and yellow quilt and I quilted it with vertical wavy lines. Deb Czech made the pink and green quilt. I chose to quilt it with overall swirls. I made the blue and yellow quilt and quilted it with a two color ribbon quilting and double daisies. All using the same Easy to Sew Quilt pattern, with different lines of fabrics .... The pattern makes it so simple!! ..... Choose a focus fabric for the center sections of the block and then add a light, medium and two dark fabrics.... choose some with a little texture. The possibilities are endless!! Add a wider border on the outside or add two or three borders to make the quilt larger. Choosing a whole line of fabric makes it easy!
