This was such a fun project to quilt. With the LeMoyne Stars, V-blocks, and Square there was such a diversity of areas to be quilted it was just fun. My previous blog (and yes it has been a while, but life gets in the way sometimes), showed the piecing of “Trade Winds”, and here I want to show some photographs of the actual quilting. I find it so disappointing when I see a beautiful quilt and the quilting doesn”t do it justice. I like everything about quilting. I could not imaging giving my quilt to someone else to finish for me. I hope my quilting inspires others to get creative and enjoy the whole process of making a quilt.
I used silk thread on the top of the quilt, and Aurifil in the bobbin. Swirls and feathers, straight line and swiggles, what fun!

I love everything about quilting. I love the colors, the feel of the fabrics, the piecing, the quilting , and even putting on the binding! I free motion quilt using a Bernina 780, longarm quilt (free motion or ruler work), on a Prodigy , and hand quilt when I get a chance.
I have been teaching quilting since 2004, and became a Certified Studio 180 Design Instructor in 2013. In 2020 I became an Island Batik Ambassador, and an Island Batik Designer in 2021. I teach locally at Bernina Connection, in Tallahassee, and travel to guilds and shops to share my love of quilting through a trunk show or workshops, and I also vend at several Quilt Shows in the area.
