MOM'S HOMESPUN BY BECKY SEMEYN

This lap size quilt has very special meaning for my customer, Becky. The homespun fabrics had been collected by her mother, who has recently passed away. The dark blue sashing in between the blocks was cut from her mother's clothing. Since this quilt is headed for a camper, Becky chose a fun novelty camping fabric.

I used YLI White cotton thread, and the digital quilting design is called "Classic Stipple 1", and it is available from Intelligent Quilting, Inc. Because of all the patterns in the block fabrics, Becky chose this simpler pattern, so it would add fun and motion to the quilt without taking away too much attention from the homespun fabrics.

 

Here are a few photos of the quilting process.

 

And here is the finished quilt, ready for Becky to bind.
 

Here is a short video of the quilt being digitally quilted with my Tin Lizzie Ansley 26 quilting machine and Butler Perfect Stitch computerized system. Maximize the screen to maximize your viewing pleasure!
 

 

 

The size of this quilt is approximately 49" x 52", and the cost for my services was $66.78, which included a set up fee, digital edge-to-edge quilting, Pellon cotton batting, and thread. And the quilt was finished and ready to be picked up in only a couple of days!
