Sister's Choice Quilts

My interests are quilting, reading, cooking, family, decorating, and matters of style. I post regular quilting tutorials and book reviews of current fiction.

Quilts to the Quilter

Three little runners off to the quilter. Two are fallish, one is for Christmas. By the time I get them back the sunflower one will be kind of out of season, but I will definitely use the maple leaf one for Thanksgiving and the red/green/black/cream/gold one for Christmas.

And Cinnaberry is the other quilt going out for quilting. I followed everyone's advice and did not add any borders to make it bigger. It remains 60 x 60". A nice size lap quilt for the holiday season. And beyond! 

Every time I mention sending things out for quilting, someone asks me who my quilter is.  And you know something? I never tell. I share a lot, but not that.

Judge me if you will, but some things I just need to keep to myself.

  1. LOL on keeping the quilter to yourself. Do not apologize; we all keep our own secrets.
    Your pieces are just lovely. The Cinnaberry is my favorite.

  4. I like them all but especially the sunflower runner. And Cinnaberry just speaks to me!
    Around here the wait time for a quilting is 2 months of more!

  7. You’ve had so many great finishes recently! The wait for a long armer to finish a quilt in our area is a month or more, but so worth it! And you certainly shouldn’t feel badly for not giving out your quilter’s information. It’s just smart not to share someone else’s information on the internet for so many reasons!

  10. Can’t wait to see them on the return. To be sure they will be prettier than ever. Does it take long to get your quilts quilted? I had a quilter keep my quilt once for 3 mos, but never again. My usual quilter is well known in the DFW area, a friend of Bonnie Hunter’s who I met in a DFW class with Bonnie. Her quilting is her work, and I bring them in when ready and generally have them back in 7-10 days, some a little longer. I love it.

  13. It’s always fun to get quilts back to the quilter! I don’t blame you for keeping mum. If you share with too many people (and you have a lot of followers!), she’s likely to get too busy for your quilts! No guilt!

  22. What a lot of great finishes! Makes sense not to share the name of your quilter. Can’t wait to see these beauties quilted … and bound.
