Spring Quilt-Along and New Adorable Bag (Bag-Along?)

If you haven't already, please head on over to Melanie's blog at http://www.aboveallfabric.com/.  I hosted the Spring Quilt-Along and the bag project was published this week.  It turned out so cute! 


In other news, I have been very busy on the longarm machine this week!  Don't forget that there are only 10 days left to take advantage of the low May Promotion prices.  Some quilts are as low as forty bucks!  Visit http://www.cottonpig.com/ for more information.

Last week of school coming up.  Lord help us :-)

New Quilt Pattern Tutorial! Portrait Gallery

Head on over to http://www.modabakeshop.com/ to check out my newest quilt pattern and tutorial called Portrait Gallery.  I used Sherbet Pips to make this double-bed sized quilt.

I also used Sherbet Pips to make this Doll Quilt:


I wanted to show you how great the Pips look with gray framing instead of black.  Love it!

Let me know if you have any questions or encounter any challenges with the pattern.  Meanwhile, please be sure to check out the Quilt-Along that I'm hosting over at http://www.aboveallfabric.com/!  Up next we will be making the bag that carries the quilt and all of your picnic goodies.

Finally, if you haven't already checked out my new quilting business, Cotton Pig, please do.  I am running a great kick-off sale on longarm quilting services for only the next couple of weeks.  Spaces are filling up fast!

Thanks to everyone who has already said wonderful things about these projects.  Without such a supportive quilting community, none of this would be possible!

LONGARM QUILTING BUSINESS IS OPEN! SPECIAL PRICES :-)

I am thrilled to announce the opening of my new quilting business: Cotton Pig.  I create custom quilts, t-shirt quilts, and memory quilts along with providing longarm quilting services.  I have been working on opening the business since the first of the year but have had too many projects keeping me busy so far to announce it!

I quilt on a Handi-Quilter Avante machine with a 12' frame.  This means that I can accomodate any size quilt up to an over-sized king.  I have taken several hours of classes on my machine as well as quilted several quilts on it so far.  I wanted to make sure I could do a good job for my clients before offering my services.

In order to get started with a bang, I am offering basic meandering (stipple) or simple pantograph all-over patterns for just a penny a square inch.  That means a double-bed size quilt that is 80"x80" would equal ONLY $64.  This is a great chance to pull out those forgotten tops from your UFO stash and get them done once and for all.  This price is good for quilts sent to me by May 31, 2011.

I can also do custom quilting patterns, so just contact me to discuss what you have in mind.

I offer Warm & White batting for an extra charge.  I can also attach your binding to the front and back for an additional charge if you want your quilt completely finished when it arrives back home.

Please contact me for additional information.  For examples of my quilting, check out my Flickr stream.  I quilted the AboveAllFabric.com Quilt-Along Quilt on the longarm and used a few different quilting patterns on it.

If you are already happy with your longarm quilter, please stay with him or her.  I don't want to take away anyone's business out there.  If you have never tried a longarm quilter and are interested in sending a quilt to a longarm quilter to get it done quickly and affordably, I would love the opportunity to help you!
