Quilt, Quilts and more Quilts!

The last couple weeks I have been flooded with quilts to quilt, a big thank you to everyone who is keeping my studio busy! One of the great things about being a longarm quilter, is seeing a vast variety of projects. Here are some of the most recent things I've been quilting...

Las Vegas Quilters Guild- April 8th at 6 PM

The Las Vegas Quilters Guild meets monthly at the West Charleston Library. This guild is only one year old but is already 100 members strong! Come check us out!

At this month's meeting, we will be playing Quilto- a quilters version of bingo! Bring two fat quarters to get your cards. The blackout winner takes home the stash!

There will also be show and tell as always and a demonstration on how to make minature blocks!

See you there!

Circles


The machine quilting patterns that flow and loop are my favorites. This lead to the title for my blog. The more I thought about it, I found that there are a lot of circles in quilting.Along the Way by Anne Bright

Yo-Yos, buttons and beads are some great circular quilt embellishments. There are also blocks that use circles such as drunkards path and double wedding ring.

I have to say though that my favorite circles in quilting are circles of friends! It is always great to quilt the day away with friends!

What circles in quilting do you enjoy?

More Calendar Quilts

I forgot to mention about the calendar contest that if you have a quilt we have quilted in 09 and have a great picture of it, please email it to me! I would love to post it here and enter it in the contest! Email photos to CalendarPhotos@WagnerQuilting.com

Here are some more quilts we have fallen in love with! Too bad we don't get to keep them!

Here are a couple sunbonnet sues quilted in Sunbonnet Sue, Double Hearts and stippling!



This darling Snowman quilt has blocks with hand embroidered little snowman faces! We quilted it with Snazzy Snowflake.




This last quilt was unbelievable and huge! We spent several days doing the custom quilting. If you look close you'll see that some of the blocks are actually folded like origami! We decided to keep the quilting simple and only used this little Candy Twist block in different sizes, but it took thousands of them!
