Linda deBelser created this gorgeous cozy quilt with a neutrals New Orleans theme. I love the blend of colours she has used with the browns, blacks, golds and creams. A little bit modern and a little bit traditional, and a whole lot fabulous!
The quilt was long armed with the E2E design Coffee Time and Glide thread Leather for the top!
Thank you so much for sharing Linda!

Here we have Linda again with her second quilt she had done at the shop. She pieced and we long arm quilted this beautiful Chandelier quilt.
Linda's quilt is just gorgeous quilted using the Radiant Pearls E2E design and a Cool Grey 3 Glide thread. This has to be one of the most gorgeous chandelier quilts we have seen!
Thank you so much Linda for sharing!

Wanda Dickenson brought her gorgeous memory quilt in for us to long arm quilt. Is this not incredible how she managed to work all the different sizes and themes around the quilt?
The quilt was long arm quilted using the E2E design Seamless and Glide thread Prickly Pear. Keeping the quilting loose and yet still locking down the seams was key in this one.
Beautiful work Wanda and thank you so much for sharing!
