Wall hanging by Judi Madsen

I had a lot of fun with this class on www.iquilt.com by Judi Madsen. She's an awesome instructor and very thorough. Online classes are the best for me. I can pause when I need to or take a day off. I go at my own pace. I suggest you look her class up and see for yourself! You won't be sorry!

Dallas Cowboys Lap Sized Quilt

This quilt was a blast to make!  Together Pat and I created this lap quilt for a customer.  Pat did an amazing job piecing it all together.  She paper pieced the stars and appliqued the letters.  How awesome is she?!  Go Pat!!!  I planned on doing an all over simple quilting design on this one, but after looking at it and all of the hard work Pat put into it, I just knew I had to do a custom job on it.

You can see in the pictures below how I did the quilting.  I did a simple zigzag on the borders and added some lines to fill in the empty spaces.

Below you can see how the corners came together with the zigzag design.

I also did some zigzag quilting around the appliqued letters.  

I did some simple all over stars and loops for the white area in the quilt.

And finally a quick pic of the back of the quilt.  I just love the way this one turned out.  The customer was happy with it and that's really all that matters!  

Linked In

Isn't this just a fun quilt pattern?!  I fell in love with it when I ran across it on the Craftsy website here Linked In.  The best part?!  It's completely free for you to download and create!  I chose to do some custom quilting on it to really make the design pop.  I really wanted to fill up the negative space and the pebbles and lines did just that!  What fun to quilt!  Below are some pictures of it as I was creating it and some finished pictures as well.  

Of course, if you would like to have us create this quilt for you, just contact us and we can work something out! Enjoy the eye candy!
