Here’s how the whole mail-in quilting process works
Happy Wednesday! I got to thinking after reading a few of Monday's comments. Several people asked, "How are you going to quilt it?" The straightforward answer is, I probably won't quilt it cause it's a huge quilt!. For most quilts, including the Ohio sampler, I don't give the quilting much of a thought when I'm piecing it. I like a challenge and I love making the tops. That's my favorite part. I got in on the ground floor with the Jane Stickle quilt and only had a book with line drawings. I think towards the end I purchased a triangle ruler for cutting them out accurately. I loved the challenge of trying to figure out the best approach to making those blocks. The only thought I gave to quilting it was that I wanted to hand quilt it. (14 years later I completed that!) Blind Man's fancy is another one I enjoyed piecing after drawing up the pattern from a photo of the old quilt from New York. The piecing and the challenge was what I enjoyed. I sent this one out to be quilted for an all over paisley quilting. Under the big top was another one I enjoyed piecing and drawing out in EQ. This one also got an allover paisley quilting. So, for awhile I'll feel accomplished that I actually got this top all put together, then I'll contemplate the quilting. I'm in no hurry. It sort of reminds me of something I've seen lately. Summer just arrived, officially a couple of days ago, and people are already talking about fall! Let me enjoy summer and all its fullness! Life is short enough, let's enjoy the moments we have and stop pushing ahead to the next this, the next that, the next....... So that's my long answer, oh it seems it sort of went into a rant! LOL!!
Big stitching away. The best part of the quilting process 👌🏼
It started right. A large sheet of paper on the floor, with the blocks marked. Do you have any idea what cats do with large sheets of paper? It goes something like this... The next step was to put the bed runner under a vinyl tablecloth and mark out designs on the tablecloth with washable…

I'd like to introduce you to the Landmark Quilt, my newest pattern available here! Before we get into the nitty gritty of this quilt pattern, let me first tell you about the name! Naming my quilt patterns after places in my province has become one of my favourite parts of the design process. I'm often choosing names
