Projects from 2021

Kimberbell project for Sewingly Yours

This is from the Baby Lock training class on embroidery.  I was learning how to use the quilting hexagon functions on the Solaris.  This is pretty cool.  AND very easy. 

This is the sample I made in the same class.  I pulled a jpg file into IQ Designer and made a edge to edge quilting pattern out of it.  Also, very easy.

And another one. 

I made this quilt as a sample for Sewingly Yours. Later I came back and purchased it as a gift for the mother of one of my daughter's special friends.

And another one. 

This is the beginnings of a tote using batiks and scrappy rulers.  I cut out a lot of scraps and need to get the totes made.

And a fourth one!  

This is a 3 yard quilt that I made for a trip that we took to Idaho.  I was originally going to take a picture of it everywhere we went but I kept forgetting to take it with me!!  

Embroidered pouch.  Just experimenting. 

This was for a Kimberbell event for Sewingly Yours.  

This is the other items for the event. 

Close up of a quilt that I am quilting for customer.  It was made by her grandmother but she never got to finish it.  I am quilting it on the Solaris mimicking the hand quilted hearts that her grandmother started with. 

I have experimented with many ways to handle heavy quilts with my embroidery machine.  DIME had this on sale and I purchased it.  It is the way to go if you do a lot of larger quilts on the domestic embroidery machine. It is called the Weightless Quilter and the link can be found here.  DIME Weightless Quilter

These are Easter baskets that I made.  

Sorry.  This is sideways but it is a project that I completed after taking Baby Lock's serger training class.  It is currently hanging at Sewingly Yours.

This is a experiment in piecing scraps.  I will be making these into tote bags in the future.

I have designed a serger class on putting in a zipper and depending on how you sew the seams together, you can make different shaped pouches.  This is a wonderful way to use up scraps.  I take 2 pieces of fabric and sandwich batting in the middle.  Quilt it on my Solaris. Install the zipper and finish it with a serger.  This is a tri-shaped pouch. 

This is your normal zipper on top pouch. 

This is a centered zipper pouch.  Looks like a tissue container.
