Denise’s Mom’s Cross-stitch Quilt

My friend Denise texted me a picture of this incredible quilt that she made using all the cross stitching her mom did and asked what we could do for the quilting. For starters I was in awe!! Look at all of those quilts perfectly stitched in each square.

I’m not sure what the pattern is for the cross-stitch. Denise just figured out the sashing…she’s amazing! She did put interfacing behind each block.

Back to the quilting we talked about me doing light custom, because I was leery of quilting on the cross-stitch and I didn’t want to take away from all her mom’s amazing work.

I started by quilting in the ditch on the inside border of each block. Then I quilted a swirly feather in each colored border. I knew I wanted to do the curved design in the sashing…which I’ve done several times before, it my favorite way to quilt sashing…but it’s definitely tricky when the blocks aren’t square. I pulled out my Circle2 rulers and figured out which two to use. I used the 7” on the sides and the 10” on the top and bottom. You’ll see below the 7” circle is on the inside of the ruler, on the 4”/10” ruler the 10” is on the outside. That means there are two different sizes of circles on each ruler. My Circle2 rulers can be found in my shop at: https://www.quiltingit.com/shop

I created these rulers back in 2018 because there was nothing like them and I desperately needed a circle ruler set. The circles range in size from 2” to 13” and are made from 1/4” high quality acrylic in America.

For the x’s in the corners I used an Edge ruler from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple. I also quilted in the ditch around the little 1/2” square and strips to accentuate them with the x’s surrounding them. Together the overall design frames each cross-stitch block beautifully.

You may be thinking, what about leaving those blocks un-quilted, doesn’t the batting need to be quilted…yes!!! Awhile back Denise had me custom quilting the sashing on a quilt and she went back and hand quilted part of it. I suggested she do the same with her mom’s quilt. She did! Little stitches around little parts in each block. I know battings have recommended sizes for how close the stitching should be so it doesn’t bunch up weird when it’s washed. I personally don’t like anything over 4” square, but I understand when something needs “less” quilting. Hand quilting was the perfect solution in this case.

I used a cream Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

It’s so fun for me to be apart of quilts like this!! The end result makes me so happy!

Heidi’s Simple Addition Quilt

When this beautiful quilt arrived I was in love with the colors and fabrics.

The pattern is called Simple Addition by Allison from Cluck Cluck Sew. Go here to get the PDF: https://cluckclucksewshop.com/collections/pdf-patterns/products/simple-addition-pdf-only

I used Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

I used Pearce by Keryn Emmerson which is available at Urban Elementz. https://www.urbanelementz.com/pearce.html It’s such a classy design, and it looks beautiful with all these fabrics.

Hopefully you can see the swirl with a hook and the circles. One of my favorites!!

Designs like these tend to soften all the hard lines in the quilt pattern, too.

If you’re looking for a great plus quilt, this is a great one!!

Maria’s Into The Deep Quilt

If you follow me on instagram @leishakaye then you might have seen this incredible quilt on my machine this week!

Maria and her daughter Mary each made one, Mary’s will be quilted like Maria’s next. It’s fun to have twinning quilts!!

This is the Into The Deep pattern that was an exclusive pattern taught by Tula Pink herself on a cruise back in 2018. Unfortunately, I can’t find a pattern to link. Of course these are Tula’s gorgeous fabrics as well.

When I was brainstorming how to quilt Maria and Mary’s quilts, I had the thought to add some Graffiti style quilting between the squares. Which I think goes perfectly with Tula’s fabrics. Glad they were game!!

I used Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly Winline Textiles batting.

These are close ups of some of my favorite elements. Graffiti Quilting allows me to make stuff up as I go. Below I love the long skinny hooked leaf with the scalloped inside. Above, the simple leaf with the circles feather tip. There are many other fun elements just like these throughout the quilt. Check out my instagram for a video I posted of this quilt.

In the squares I quilted a simple x and then echoed the lines 1” outside the center x. I used the 12” Edge ruler from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple. Go to: https://www.thequiltedpineapple.com/shop/

If you’re a quilter, have you ever tried Graffiti Quilting? Do you want to?

Karlee Porter who is the mastermind behind Graffiti Quilting is teaching her 10th Anniversary Master Class this fall, and she’s given me a coupon code for you to join us!!!

LeAnn’s Quilts

My friend LeAnn has been sewing some pretty incredible quilts lately, and I’m excited to share them with you…

Gorgeous, right?!?! This is the Modern Farmhouse quilt by Amanda Niederhauser, and it’s in her More Playful Precuts book, available on Amazon. I love the colors and fabrics that LeAnn used. It’s so soft and beautiful!

I sent a few design options to LeAnn and she chose Taj Mahal - Echoed and I love it!! Taj Mahal - Echoed is one of Patricia Ritter and my panto designs!! It’s such a beautiful one and quilts out easily. It’s available at Urban Elementz.

I used hobbs wool batting on this one which made it extra puffy with the minky on the backing. I used a cream Omni thread from Superior Threads.

This pattern is so versatile. You could make a christmas or 4th of july or winter quilt. If you’re looking for a star quilt, this is a great one!

Look at that minky backing. This is why I suggest solid colored minky with a regular pile. The ones with the longer fibers look fun, but actually hide too much of the quilting, and they are honestly hard to deal with.

Next up, this darling quilt that LeAnn made for her grand daughter. Lucky her!!!

This lovely Quarter Star pattern is an exclusive quilt that Amy Smart did with My Girlfriends Quilt Shoppe. Go watch the video of Amy and Kris.

We chose the Flower Child panto by Apricot Moon Designs, which is available at Urban Elementz. I’ve used this one several times, it’s a great one.

I used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles based out of Utah and Natural White Omni Thread from Superior Threads.

Those flowers on all those sweet florals…love!!

I love how a quilt comes alive with beautiful quilty texture!!!

This is another versatile quilt!! Imagine all the different seasons or holidays. It also could be masculine or feminine depending on your fabric choices.

This is 4 Patch Charm by Amanda Niederhauser. I love the +’s in the corners of each block.

LeAnn chose Grapevine by Denise Shillinger for the panto design, which happens to be my favorite leaf panto!! It’s also available at Urban Elementz.

I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles and cream Omni thread from Superior Threads.

I love how the leaves seem to dance across the quilt.

Look at that solid minky!!! I’m telling you. If you’d like a unique texture on the minky backing of your quilt, go with solid regular minky 100% of the time…when you put minky on the back of a quilt…and you’ll love that quilty texture!!!

Next, this gorgeous Summer Meadow quilt.

The pattern is by Amanda Niederhauser and is in her More Playful Precuts book. Here is a link to it on Amazon if the shop I tagged sales out of the book.

I gave LeAnn a few choices and she chose the Canary panto by Patricia Ritter and me. It’s available at Urban Elementz. I love the swirls with the open bubbly feathers.

I used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles and cream Omni thread from Superior Threads.

I love the classic traditional pattern and fabrics that LeAnn used on this quilt. It reminds me of when I first started sewing quilts. Such beautiful memories!!

Look at those swirly feathers!! Also I love a corner of the backing with the front of the quilt! I need to take more pictures like these in the future.

Here in northern Utah the Utah State Aggies are a fan favorite and I love it when Aggie quilts come my way!

This is the Walk About pattern by Ann Lauer from Grizzly Gulch Gallery. I love how dimensional it looks.

We chose my Squared panto design, which is available in my shop. Which is my go to design for guy quilts or t-shirt quilts or sports quilts or geometric quilts, so its pretty versatile.

I used a tan Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

Look at all of that glorious texture!!!

And, of course…GO AGGIES!!

Thanks for being here and supporting my quilting journey. It’s so fun for me to quilt my designs on some of my client quilts, but even more fun to see them on your client quilts. Thanks for the support!! It means the world to me.

Debbie’s Shadow Blossom Quilt

Debbie made this incredible Shadow Blossom quilt which is a pattern by Carolyn from Free Bird Quilting Designs.

The pattern can be found here: https://www.freebirdquiltingdesigns.com.au/shop/16-shadow-blossom-pattern/?utm_source=IGShopping&utm_medium=Social

I used Hobbs wool batting which made the quilting pop!!! We also decided on a Omni-V variegated thread that matched these colors from Superior Threads.

I suggested Undulation by Ambling Vines for the quilting design, and Debbie said yes!! It’s such a fun design and quilts out beautifully. It can be found at https://matantequiltingshop.com/products/undulation

The texture with this pattern is soooo good!!

Because the blossoms in the pattern are so large I did the quilting design large as well. The scale at which I quilt panto designs has a lot to do with the overall scale of the pattern. Something more dense wouldn’t harmonize very well.

Thanks for stopping by!! If you’d like me to quilt something edge to edge for you, check out my calendar and schedule a day. https://calendly.com/quiltingit

Kathy’s Star Storm Astros Quilt

So excited to share this amazing baseball quilt with you!!!

Kathy made this for her son who is a huge Houston Astros fan!!! She asked that I quilt it custom, and I think it turned out so awesome.

The pattern is called Star Storm by Victoria Findlay Wolfe, you can find the pattern here: https://vfwquilts.com/products/star-storm-pattern

In the very center of the star I started with a line from point to point in the star and then added 5 lines, one is in the ditch of the navy and orange seam, in each point of the star. In the white grunge fabric I quilted my Overlapping Line design, which is something I teach in my Quilting It Freemotion Course. Go to: https://www.quiltingit.com/quilting-it-freemotion-course

Next, on the Houston Astros fabric I did line bursts which are a quick easy way to add some fun texture to a quilt. It worked beautifully in these long sections so I wasn’t measuring and trying to make a motif fit. In the orange I quilted 1/4” pinstripes with a 1/2” gap from each edge and it made the center stripe a little bigger, but it is centered so it worked great!! In the baseball fabric I quilt 45° lines 1/2” apart on the entire quilt. The lines on my ruler made that easy peasy. I repeated each design in the same fabric.

I used my 16” Edge ruler from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple for every single stitch on this quilt. Her straight rulers are my favorite!!! Go to: https://www.thequiltedpineapple.com/shop/

We decided on grey thread, so I used Silver Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

Here is a close up on all the different lines!! So excited to see how simple lines together can harmonize so well.

Another view of the lines from the center out. I start quilts in the top left and work my way to the right before rolling to the next section. I even did that with this quilt. It would be a saggy bubbly mess if I started in the center and worked my way out.

The back looks so good, too!!! I couldn’t be happier.

It’s amazing what comes when I quilt the shape of the pattern from the front. Kathy was thrilled!!

Lisa’s Baby Quilts

Lisa made a few baby quilts that I had the privilege of doing edge to edge quilting on…and they are simple makes. I don’t think that she used a pattern for either.

The flag panel is from Sarah Federking and is called Little Explorers from Studio E Fabrics. Then she used a variety of different animal prints for the top and bottom borders with the rust orange dot, love the combination!

Quilting adds so much dimension and texture, and Malachite by Patricia Ritter doesn’t disappoint!! I love using it on map quilts, which adds kind of a ripple effect on the water and dimension on the land. It’s available at Urban Elementz.

I used 4oz bamboo batting from Winline Textiles and natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads.

A close up on the quilting…

Check out that minky + quilting …it’s sooo good!! This is why solid minky is always the best idea when choosing minky for the backing. The quilting texture doesn’t compete with a minky texture or longer pile, when it is the regular solid minky. The regular solid minky also comes in 90” wide bolts as well.

Lisa made two of these darling quilts.

Sew squares together with sashing in between, and then add large triangles on the sides to create an on point center for the block.

I used natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads on both of them as well as the 4oz bamboo batting from Winline Textiles. It’s such a soft and cuddly batting, definitely one of my favorites.

I used Baptist Clam by Laurie Thomas from It’s a Quilt Thing to quilt it. And it quilted out beautifully!

I hope that you enjoyed these darling baby quilts and the quilty textures. If you’re hoping to have something quilted, check out my edge to edge quilting calendar and schedule a day or two. Thank you!! Happy quilting, leisha.

Amanda’s Patchwork Duffle Bag

Last year for my sister’s birthday I made her a duffle bag. I let her pick the fabrics, and I love how it turned out. She loves it, too!

I used the Patchwork Duffle pattern by my friend Kait from Knot + Thread. I’ve made this a few times, it’s a great pattern!!! Here is the bag I made for a friend and here is my bag. Have you made one yet?

I used soft and stable, which is a glorious 1/4”ish thick foam that adds a pop of dimension and perfect thickness to the bag. Kait has it available at Knot + Thread. Soft and Stable is so easy to quilt and sew through.

I used natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads.

I gave my sister a few options for quilting designs and she chose Domestic Stitches - Triangles, which is one of several designs I sell in my shop that have a fun geometric style, similar to some designs quilted on a domestic machine. Doing those kind of designs can be difficult on a longarm.

The lining is a fun fabric by Gingiber from her Words to Live By line from Moda. The floral is Lady Bird by Crystal Manning from Moda as well as the Bella solid we used for the handles.

I had enough left over to make her a zipper pouch, too!

My sister is often spending the weekend away, and why not have this adorable bag to take her things in. Her little boy was so excited when I gave it to her, he was packing blankets and toys in it from my parents house.

My handmade tags are woven and wonderful quality. I use them on other bags and my quilts. I got them from Custom Labels 4 U. I love them!!!

If love to quilt for you!! Check out my edge to edge quilting calendar and schedule a day. Happy quilting!! Leisha

Marilyn’s Jane Austen Barton Cottage Quilt

Debbie’s mom Marilyn has been making some amazing quilts, and here is another one.

The pattern is called the Jane Austen Barton Cottage quilt by the Riley Blake Designers. I couldn’t find just the pattern but several stores are currently carrying the kit. If you’re interested search the name.

I used the cream Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

I used Rolling Hills by Julie Hirt to quilt it. Such a great design!!! Especially on this house quilt.

These Jane Austen fabrics by Riley Blake are beautiful, and the house reminds me so much of the movies I love to watch over and over again.

Look at that beautiful quilty texture!!!

If you’re interested in having me quilt something, check out my edge to edge calendar and schedule a day or two.

Barbara’s Shortcake Quilt

Loving this darling quilt that has me dreaming of springtime.

Barbara made this Shortcake quilt, by Cluck Cluck Sew using Farmers Daughter fabrics by Vanessa at Lella Boutique. This pattern and fabric is a match made in heaven.

I used natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

Recently I found this darling quilting design that came free on my Gammill Statler called Rose Vine by Norma Sharp, which is a perfect fit for this quilt. The flowers and leaves in the quilting design look like they came directly from the fabric.

Lovely texture, which helps soften all the hard lines in the quilt pattern!!

Some close ups…

What are you currently working on? I’m so close to finishing my hexie flower quilt. Can’t wait!!

If you’re interested in having something quilted, check out my calendar and schedule a day or two. Happy quilting!! Leisha

Laurie’s Yellow Brick Road Quilt

Laurie helped a friend make this fun quilt for her granddaughter, so cute huh?!?!

The pattern is the classic Yellow Brick Road by Atkinson Designs. I’ve made a few quilts with this pattern. It’s fast and fun!

I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles and natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads.

The panto is called Dear Heart by Hermione Agee and is available at Urban Elementz. It’s a fun simple design that creates beautiful texture.

What is your favorite heart panto? Cupid is one of mine!! I’m actually going to use it on the first quilt I quilt this year.

A couple of close ups…

A minky swirl with all that quilty texture, is my favorite!

Angie’s Baby Cuddles Quilts

Angie has a great go to baby pattern, pick some of your favorite fabrics and get yourself a copy of Baby Cuddle by Fresh Dew Drops. I’m going to share four baby quilts she made and a queen sized of the same quilt. Fresh Dew Drops has a regular pattern with larger sizes as well it’s called Simply Done Quilt.

What I love about a pattern like this one is it’s all about the cute fabrics, and it’s super fast.

I quilted this one using a free panto design available on my Gammill Statler called Rose Vine by Norma Sharp. It quilts out beautifully!

I used natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads and my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting by Winline Textiles.

This is a gender neutral one because the parents were waiting until they have their baby to find out. I love the pops of color and fun prints.

We went with a gender neutral panto design, too. This is also a free one on my Gammill Statler called Geometric Border. The designer isn’t listed. I love the fun texture this design creates.

I used natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads, it blends so well. I also used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

See that texture on the minky, sooo good!

Love this sweet version!

I used the same 8020 cotton poly blend batting and a cream Omni thread from Superior Threads.

I used Patricia Ritter and my Sweet Indigo panto design to quilt it, which is available at Urban Elementz.

How sweet is the quilting on this quilt?!?!

Next up, this sweet apple print.

We originally talked about putting a flower on this one, and I then I thought Sprig would be an excellent choice. It’s by Abling Vines and is available at www.matantequilting.com

This is a favorite of mine. It stitches out beautifully and creates lovely texture.

I used my favorite natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

Check out that quilty texture!!

Here is the queen sized version that Angie made for her daughter who loves Halloween.

You can probably guess I used natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads, which blends so great on even those black fabrics. I also used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

I used the Haunted Web panto by Apricot Moon Designs to quilt it. It’s available at Urban Elementz.

Thanks for being here!!

Jeanenne’s Throw Quilt

When quilting texture looks sooo good on a quilt, my heart is so happy!

Jeanenne made this beautiful throw quilt, unfortunately I don’t know the name of the pattern.

I used my favorite Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads, and my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

What I love most about this quilt…is our Taj Mahal Echoed panto design, which is available at Urban Elementz. I can’t wait to put this design on another quilt, it quilts out beautifully.

Look at that texture, it’s just sooo good.

The quilting adds so much texture, so I try to pick something that will enhance the overall design.

Some more close ups…

Look how perfect that quilt backing is!! Jeanenne didn’t have a backing fabric, so I found this perfect one in my mom and aunts online fabric shop Sisters and Quilters.

Are you looking to get one of your quilts quilted? Check out my edge to edge quilting spots available on my calendar. Thank you!! Happy New Year!

LeAnn’s Rose Garden Runner

I have a darling table runner to share with you today!!

LeAnn made this Rose Garden Runner from a kit available at My Girlfriends Quilt Shoppe. The pattern and Market Street fabrics are both by Heather Peterson from Anika’s Treasures.

I was going to quilt it with yellow thread, but didn’t love it, so I swapped it for a cream Omni thread from Superior Threads. I also used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

I gave LeAnn a few options, and she chose my Beaded Orange Peel, which I love!! It turned out so perfect for this particular runner. Beaded Orange Peel is available in my shop.

I love how the circles within the panto design adds interest to the traditional orange peel design.

If panto designs that touch scare you. Here is a link to a video of what I do when I quilt pantos. I hope it helps.

This cheerful runner has me dreaming of spring already!! How about you?!?!

Sandy’s 4 Patch Baby Quilt

Did you have a chance to check out my new website??? Take a look around when you get a moment. Thankfully I was able to transfer my blog and most of my shop with the help of Square Websites Plugins, a company not associated with Square Space that developed a software which collects the data and downloads it. Best tool in the rebuilding process for me. In my shop a had to add digital files to each of my designs, which I was planning to do anyway. Such a smooth process. They have other resources as well. If any of you are in the same boat, give it a try!

How cute is this adorable baby quilt that my mom made for my cousin’s baby girl?!?! I can’t believe he’s old enough to be a dad, and I babysat him when he was a baby. I’m old, haha!!

My mom sewed 2.5” squares together into a four patch and cut 4.5” colored and white squares to offset as you can see.

I’ve had a bunch of 2.5” squares left over from my Hexie Flower quilt that I’m making, and my mom took them and some charm packs and made this adorable quilt. All Bonnie and Camille fabrics.

I used Flower Child from Apricot Moon Designs available at Urban Elememtz, to quilt it. Which is a perfect design for this quilt.

I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles and Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads.

Check out that quilted minky texture!!! Love it! I love regular solid minky. The quilting creates the perfect snuggly texture.

Pat’s Summer Haze Quilt

Are you looking for an adorable baby quilt??? I have a sweet one to share with you today!!

I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles and Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads.

I came across this super darling free panto design on my Statler called Rose Vine by Norma Sharp. If it doesn’t come free on your machine, it’s available in paper and digital format at Quilts Complete. I’ve linked the digital version above.

The quilting design softens all the hard lines, and matches the fabrics perfectly!! Pat was thrilled!!! Check out that quilty texture on the minky backing.

Jessica’s Dresden Quilt

Hello there,

So excited to share this stunning quilt with you!!

Jessica made this classic Dresden quilt with such fun fabrics. I love the navy background, which allows the colors in the dresdens to pop!!

Jessica wanted simple quilting, and suggested cross hatching. I typically need reference points when I cross hatch, so I decided to try my On Point panto design and do some custom computerized quilting for the background. On Point is available in my shop. I did the rest of the custom quilting with one of the Edge rulers from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple. I quilted in the ditch around the dresdens and then a half inch cross hatch in the center. Simply perfect, if you ask me.

I used Navy and Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads, and bamboo batting from Winline Textiles.

Those lines…a favorite of mine, for sure!!! If you’re interested in having me quilt for you, check out my edge to edge calendar.
