Quilting Dudes

When most people think of quilting, they think of little old ladies holed up inside spending hours at a sewing machine. Forgive them, they just don’t know. Today’s quilters are young and old, and interestingly enough MALE and female.

Here at the shop, we’ve had the opportunity to see just how much men love their quilts. They come in to support their wives, they look at fabric, and they admire the Gammill. “That’s quite a machine,” they say. But most importantly, they bring in quilts of their own.

From a simple ode to their favorite movie where the machine quilting makes the magic:To a full blown quilt in honor of their favorite sports team:    {thank you Natalie for the amazing quilting}
Men LOVE quilting and that’s a great thing. That’s just what these Arizona guys are trying to prove.

On the Machine…

This week we have been quilting like crazy! One of my favorites was this darling little baby quilt made by Carol, one of the ladies in our beginning quilt class! It turned out so cute! She used a Wee Play Charm Pack and coordinating fat quarters. Isn’t it darling? p2150210p2150209She backed it with Peas and Carrots, and asked us to machine quilt it with the Counting Sheep pattern by Quiltin’ Bill. It looks amazing! She can make me a quilt anytime!
