Modern Queen

Today has been a wonderful day. The weather was absolutely gorgeous! 63 and sunny, who could ask for a better day? Little Miss spent the day with Nana so Mama was able to get some work done! I wanted to share these beautiful quilts that a lovely lady named Jo, brought over from Bainbridge Island. 

I really enjoy doing my micro work on custom quilts. However, not every quilt needs custom quilting to show it off. The quilt below was for Jo's granddaughter. I love how modern it is! We decided to do an edge to edge on this quilt. The wonky medallion is beautifully offset. The use of the modern edge to edge design, "Dazzle" by Urban Elementz, really looks beautiful on this quilt.

Here is another little quilt, I believe it was for a very special puppy. I used the same "Dazzle" edge to edge on this quilt. It definitely keeps the quilt modern!

One lucky pup gets this quilt.

Oh my goodness! Look at this beauty! I wish I had the talent to create something like this quilt. I love the use of color, the free spirit that goes into making a quilt like this, and the design! It is so free and yet structured. This edge to edge design is called "Take Five" by Urban Elementz. I really enjoy the modern look of this design on this quilt. Your eye first sees the white of this quilt and then travels to the beautiful fabrics Jo incorporated into the quilt. The next thing your eye is drawn to is the quilted triangles. A perfect example of complimenting the quilt and not overpowering it with a quilted design.

This blue/green/orange quilt was the last one to be done for Jo. I used the same "Take Five" design on this quilt with a variegated thread by Madeira. You can barely see the quilting on this as the pattern on the fabric is super busy. This is a perfect example of a busy quilt that needed a complimentary edge to edge design. Although these quilts were quilted with the same edge to edge design the look of them is night and day.

If you like to quilt with edge to edge designs I highly recommend Urban Elementz designs. They have a plethora of designs to choose from. Their designs are very simple to follow, and they nest easily with the next quilted row. I really like the size of them too, not too loose and not too tight. Go check them out!

***Don't forget to follow me on Instagram! @dancingwithfrancis for daily inspiration! *** This quilt pattern is from the great gals over at Sew Kind of Wonderful . The invention of their Quick Curve Ruler (QCR) is fantastic and makes cutting those curves a piece of cake. Also, the pattern directions are easy to read and follow. Add all of this to the easy, and yes, it is easy, curved piecing and you create a beautiful quilt!  I had been wanting to complete this pattern for a about a year. I had the perfect opportunity to go to my local clubs Kamp Sew a Lot ( a three day, in town, retreat, with lots of yummy food, friends and laughter). I decided that this is the quilt that I would make while I was there. I did cut out all my pieces before going, and it did take me all three days to complete this quilt top. There really was a lot of sewing happening in our group!  Normally I am a three color person when it comes to quilts. I love white as a background becau

My sister Jerri and I  Hello readers! My name is Brianne Moores and I am a long arm quilter. I found my passion for longarm quilting two years ago. With the help of my family I was able to open Sequim Quilt Co. (check out Sequim Quilt Co. Facebook page) and with the encouragement of my grandmother I purchased an Innova Longarm Quilting Machine and never looked back.God gave me a talent and I have been blessed to have the opportunity and trust from clients to continue to grow and learn.

He also has hydraulics and an LED light, which makes quilting in the dark fantastic. I can't wait to see what future

 Goodmorning! I am training for a half marathon in June and yesterday I ran 4 miles with my beautiful doggies! That run was pretty easy, compared to beginning this quilt!  Now, what I mean by difficult was the creative juices to start this beauty. It took me two days to figure out a design for the border! I was on Pinterest looking up ideas and saving them to my "quilting" board. I finally came across one, and I have to admit I was a little nervous to do it! And then I sat down and analyzed it, and I realized that it was just straight lines and a few curves! All of which I have rulers for. :) I first found the center of the border. Then I divided the border into thirds and made a point at the 2/3 mark from the bottom. This 2/3 mark is where I made my first curve to. What I did, because we all like continuous lines, is start at the bottom left corner of the top border and made my way across the quilt, then when I finished at the bottom right of the
