A Quilt From the Needle, Thread, and Fabric Studio - Mid-Atlantic UFO
Posted by Christy Dillon on 4th Mar 2018
Lori
Kepley shared the story of this quilt with us, and we asked to share it
with you! She used last year's free pattern set "Clifton" to finish the
quilt with four patterns;
Clifton Block 1, Clifton Block 4, Clifton Sashing, and Clifton Triangle p2p.
Every
February Lori meets a group of quilters near Williamsburg, Virginia for
the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival. One of their traditions is to write
down a UFO that they will complete before the next reunion, and this
quilt was the UFO of Lori's friend Patti. It was pieced with fabric from
the Downton Abby line, and quilted on Lori's Avante with ProStitcher.
Lori
tells us that our designs are some of her favorites (thank you!) and
that she was drawn to the Clifton Set because of the cross-hatching and
beautiful swirls. When she received Patti's quilt, she knew the Clifton
Set would be the perfect compliment! She used Melissa K's
(
https://www.mkquilts.com/) teaching on the Prostitcher Simulator to
design the layout of the patterns, and then used her Avante to work the
magic!!
We think the final results are spectacular! Thanks so
much to Lori and Patti for sharing this beautiful quilt with us. We also
love seeing how quilting connects us and brings us together, with Lori
traveling from Petersburg, Virginia and Patti from Fresno, California to
attend the Quilt Festival.
