Quilts of the Plains 2012

| FellowQuilter

Well everyone… It’s right around the corner. Quilts of the Plains 2012, that is! There is a great webpage devoted to the upcoming outdoor quilt show in Wray. Please check it out at www.wraychamber.net/quiltsoftheplains.php and see for yourself. If you’ve entered quilts before, the procedure is the same as last year. There are seven different categories… so you’ll certainly have many things to enter. If you haven’t yet displayed your quilted items in this show… I challenge you to do it this year. Who knows… YOU might be the winner of the viewers’ choice top prize, and brand-spankin’ new Janome sewing machine.
There are some cool vendor booths, and YOU could be the winner of our great raffle quilt, which was donated by Quilters’ Anonymous. All you need to do, is buy that ONE lucky raffle ticket!

Here is an example of how the quilts are displayed along the Main Street.

Please help us to spread the word. Quilts of the Plains is awesome… and it’s less than four weeks away!

Studio Sneak Peek

Studio Sneak Peek

I love looking at other artists studios. So… I thought you’d like a peek into mine.

As you see “Artie” is busy stitching out a design on my latest customer’s quilt.

Actually, that reminds me… This customer, Benita from Greeley, Colorado asked me to quilt a dear sentiment on her quilt.

She told the story of her father helping her with story problems in her math homework as a young girl. He would prompt her to solve the problem by asking “What do you have… and what do you want?”

I thought this phrase was so awesome. Really fits with the puzzle theme of this sudoku quilt pattern for sure.

It took some time to quilt, being that each letter is stiched out as an individual pattern, but the end result is marvelous.

I hope you like the peek at my studio, and especially a glimpse into this quilt’s legacy.

I just finished my last quilt before the move.

Well, I’ve finally completed the last quilt in my queue.  As you may or may not know, I’m preparing to move my studio across town.  With this accomplishment, now I can move forward with the dismantling, moving and resetting my Gammill with Statler Stitcher.

His name is Artie, by the way.  His robotics and system really allow me to have fun putting my spin on many, many customer quilts.  Every once in a while, I even get to work on one of my own quilts, too!

I guess that’s all I’ve got to report tonight.

Have fun… Do something creative!!!

Fellow Quilter,

Hello world!

Fellow Quilter has arrived!

I am pleased to present this new blog space for promoting my machine quilting business.

I’ll be posting some inspirational photos of some of my customers and my own quilts.

I’m participating in a round robin quilt project with several quilting men that I have met through the years.  Below is a rendering of my central block.  I can’t wait to see what each guy adds to it as it travels around.

Please check back later!

Happy Quilting,

Fellow Quilter,

Brian
