Hi Friends,

Check out this amazing Small World quilt that my client Linda made in one of Tara Faughnan’s classes. The pattern came in the class, I can’t find it anywhere else. Linda shipped her quilt to me from the east coast, did you know that I accept mail in quilts for longarm quilting? I do!

Seriously fabulous quilt!!! All her points and the beautiful Bella Solids that she used. So so beautiful!

Linda wanted matchstick quilting at 1/2” apart, so I used my Lined 1/2” design to quilt it. Yes, it quilts back and forth. If you’re a longarm quilter and you struggle with quilting lines like these back and forth, turn your needle a little further to the right. It helps there be minimal breaks for me. For those who don’t quilt, a longarm struggles quilting from right to left without having lots of thread breaks. To help with that I turn my needle to about 5:30, if not a touch more, and it doesn’t the trick. Sometimes different threads can help. It just happens. It’s worth the extra effort when this is the result. I have my Lined design available in 1/4”, 3/4”, 1” and a bundle of all four, as well. They are available in my shop.

I used my favorite go to white thread from Superior Threads, Natural White Omni. I also used a lovely 4 oz bamboo batting from Winline Textiles out of Ogden Utah. I also carry a 6 oz bamboo batting, which I loved putting in my Perfect Picnic Quilt recently.
