SCRAPPY ODDS AND ENDS BY BETTY ORLANDO


I love it when Betty brings in her latest quilt top! They are usually intricate and practically perfect in every way! Of course, she has had plenty of time to hone her craft. She's proud to share her age - 94 years old and still going strong! Betty told me recently that her brother will celebrate his 100th birthday in a few days!
 
I used YLI White cotton thread and the digital quilting design called "Damask" that can be purchased from Wasatch Quilting.
 
 
 

Here are a few photos of the quilt in progress.
 



 

The size of this quilt is 77" x 77", and the cost for my services was $122.00, which included a set up fee, digital edge-to-edge quilting, thread, and Warm & White batting. And the quilt was finished and ready to be picked up in only two days!


If you are a quilter looking for affordable rates for your latest project, give me a call! Don't quilt, but looking for a great gift for a special person in your life? Or maybe you want something special for yourself. I would love to design and create a quilt especially for you! Contact me for details at 815.735.0997.

JELLY ROLL RACE 1600 BY LORI MARTOS


 
Lori brought me this really fun and modern quilt the other day. It is made with a collection of 2.5" strips of coordinating fabrics commonly known as a "jelly roll".
 
I used YLI White cotton thread and the digital quilting design called "Crinoline" that can be purchased from Urban Elementz.
