Welcome home!

Quilt4 Quilt1_2 My Roman Holiday quilt made it back from the longarm quilter and I am just thrilled with the work she did.  It's very detailed and each star has a pretty spiral snowflake pattern in the middle - that's 36 stars!  It's more beautiful and detailed than I could have imagined.  The pattern is Opening Day, another terrific pattern from  Miss Rosie's Quilt Company.  Despite the number of pieces, this one went together in a SNAP - truly.   Everything fit together perfectly - no pulling or tugging to get the borders to fit.  Really, I promise.



IQuilt2  met with a new longarm quilter today to drop off my Portobello Market quilt - another Miss Rosie design called 4OT.  She showed me some amazing samples of her work so I let her have free rein with the quilting design.  I am anxious to see what she comes up with.



But for now, enjoy these pictures of my beautiful Opening Day quilt.

  7. Now that is just right, isn't it? I can't wait to get mine to the quilter and back again! Mine is so backed up I probably won't get it until February though. I think that is my absolute favorite quilt. Thank you for suggesting the combination of fabric and pattern! Perfection.

  8. Does your long arm quilter do this free hand or does she have a pattern and a stylus? It's really fantastic and you should advertise her name so I can send my quilts her way!
