I used my personal favorite batting #quilterdreambatting and more specifically #quiltersdreampuff  I also wanted to share the back. I agonized over the backing and yet ended up with a very simpl

Digital Edge to Edge Longarm Quilting Service coming in 2021.

                                Digital Edge to Edge Longarm Quilting Service coming in Summer of 2021.  I am working to set up my longarm studio to be able to offer digital edge to edge longarm quilting. I have been quilting for over 15 years. I have been fortunate to either rent time on a longarm or have a dear friend allow me to use her longarm. I am looking forward to sharing my love for patchwork quilts with other quilters. It is always so great to be able to collaborate on a quilt with fellow quilters.
