MACEY BY MARILYN ISLAS

 

This kid size quilt, made by Marilyn, is the second of four that she brought in day before yesterday! Marilyn made this for a friend's "miracle baby". The backing fabric is called "Luxe Fleece", from JoAnn Fabric and Craft Store, and it is a step above standard fleece. It is so soft and comfy!

I used YLI "Pyramids of Giza" cotton thread. The digital quilting design is called "Hearts and Flowers", and it is available from Stitch Happy. I have had this design in my library for years, and this is the first time a customer has chosen to use it. It is so cute and perky, and a dream to stitch out!

 

 Here are a few photos of the quilting process.

 

 

Here is the finished quilt, ready for Marilyn to bind.

 

UPDATE: Marilyn just sent me this adorable photo of Baby Macey on her new quilt! Beautiful baby, beautiful quilt, and beautiful photo! Thanks for sending this, Marilyn! I don't often get to see the finished quilt with the lucky recipient! 

 

 

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 37" x 45", and the cost for my services was $55.25, 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 two days after Marilyn dropped it off!
