Spring Time

Rachel — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 21:29:37 +0000

The start of an early spring has inspired me to think outside my own creative box and personal comfort zone. Balance. Not white, not black but grey.

I branched out this month and signed up for 2 ETSY showcases and one is for today! I also am sponsoring Rachel (coincidence, right?) from PS I Quilt for a couple months...it must be a Rachel thing. {lol}

Check them out - you won't be disappointed!

What I've Stumbled Upon!

If you have not heard of stumbleupon.com then I recommend you sign up for a free account. This tool searches the vast amount of websites, blogs and all types of internet media and recommends links for you to view based on your personal interests! This is amazing. I've logged in for the first time and have a full page of endless creativity. I no longer have to go search for it....it now comes to me! (I'm sure my need to explore on my own will still keep google logged in my favorites!)

For those of you who have an interest and are small business owners...designing, maintaining and updating your online websites, blogs, and social networking sites, etc. ... I will be posting some information and quick tips for e-marketing that I have discovered along the way. Just thought I'd share the wealth!

Stay tuned!

Blogs, blogs, and more blogs. Lately, I've found myself lost in the 'friends of the friends of the friends' of blog posts. One link leads to another and....I'm lost in creative bliss....and I can't remember how I got there! I've decided to start keeping a roadmap of links as a record of my internet adventures and a way to find these amazing sites again!

I have posted them under "sew inspired". I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!

The Christmas countdown is on!! Looking for last minute gifts? Check out Urban Petal...an online boutique. These are super cute (I know, I have them in all colors!!) and are really versitile. The snaps and/or straps make excellent stocking stuffers.

They have daily deals and sometimes offer complementary shipping and handling. Support your local Small Business's this Christmas!

Fun Summer Projects!

Happy August Quilters!

It is hard to believe August has snuck up on us sew quickly! :) This year has flown by - which means the holiday's are quickly approaching. I'm starting to gather ideas for Christmas gifts and little treasures of ''i'm thinking of you'' knick nacks...along with finding random summer projects and "I'd love to do this sometime" patterns.

So...I thought I'd share with you some ideas I have stumbled upon at Moda's "Bake Shop" which has some really fun and *FREE* patterns to sew this summer or...to make as a gift! This link has such a variety...anywhere from Toddler Wear, Fresh Quilt Patterns to Giant Pin Cushions and Fabric Strawberries!

Create and be creative! Have fun and post pictures of your projects!

Who is Quilter Girl?

Rachel — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 01:39:03 +0000

{ My name is Rachel }

...and I am a professional long-arm quilter and provide a service for those who prefer piecing and leave the machine quilting (or longarm quilting) to the professionals. I have been in business since my machine was delivered late in 2006 - thanks to my husband investing in me and my creative innovation. My friendly {smile}, clean, smoke free studio is located in Western Washington - Renton to be exact. My quilting is done using a Gammill Statler - top of the line digital technology for a smooth, consistent and professional look. I have a large variety of traditional, contemporary and artistic designs full of imagination and personality. When combined with your beautifully pieced quilt tops - my pattern and thread selection will surely compliment your piecing!

{ Inspiration }

I’m a third generation quilter inspired to start my own business by my aunt, Laura Heine. {a link to her shop is to the right under 'Love it Links'. She is an award winning – internationally acclaimed Longarm Quilter from Montana, who has been quilting for 23 years and has been business for herself over a decade and half (check out her website in my favorite links section.)

If you are interested in making an appointment do discuss Longarm quilting services please call me and we will coordinate a meeting time either at my home/studio or a near by quilt shop.

In the meantime, feel free to explore patterns, pictures and other links throughout this site. Examples of finished quilts are found under "Gallery" and quilting pattern /design options are found under "Patterns".

Thank you for visiting!
