This quilt is very special to me...after several months of honing my skills and learning how to use my Gammill Statler Longarm it was my first real customer quilt!! What a fun way to begin this journey with a cute spool quilt that had meaning to me and to the customer that sent it. Kathy A. made this quilt during a sew along that was hosted by Pat Sloane. She created her master piece by using leftover fabrics for the "thread" from quilts she had previously made. I loved looking at all the different fabrics she used and tried to imagine who they were for...maybe the watermelon fabric was picnic blanket for a friend or that cute Snoopy fabric was for a beloved grandchild...

We choose the E2E pattern Soho which can be found at Urban Elementz. I really like the Soho quilting motif it has a gentle swirl with a modern flare and using pearl colored thread to melt into the background really lets the "spools shine". It has a fun "spooling" effect that looked like threads unwinding all over the quilt top. This was a fun happy quilt top and it just made me smile. Thanks for letting me put the finishing touches on your quilt top Kathy! :)
