Work in Progress

Well they say that good things come in time...that would be true for sewing projects as well. Waiting to finish up a fireman's t-shirt quilt, currently working on another t-shirt quilt (Dave Matthews Band) and getting ready to do a quilt repair. So, keeping a few projects going and hoping to find a few more coming into the fall and winter. It's never to late to start thinking about graduation gifts...dig out all those old, not to be worn again t-shirts and prepare to dazzle your graduate with a keep sake quilt they can take with them when they move out of the house. It does take several months to complete a quilting project, so give me a call if you have something in mind. You could be the next "work in progress".

Cheetah is in the Room

After completing projects for clients I was able to get going on a new bedroom set for my daughter.  With her room recently painted, she selected some browns, tans and a Cheetah print for her new duvet, bed skirt and pillow case.  This is a great new way to freshen up her room and to coordinate all the colors.

Spring has finally sprung

The last couple of months have been very productive and it is nice to finally be in Spring.  The PJ quilt project for a client has just been finished and delivered.  It turned out so nice, better than expected!  It will surely make three little kids happy to see their PJ sewn so nicely into a quilt.

I also had the chance to create a new duvet for my daughter to compliment her new room colors.  The bedskirt will be next along with some pillows and pillow cases to round out the new decorating theme.

And finally, I spent time finishing a custom pillow project for another client to refresh the rooms in her house.  That was a fun project since it incorporated about 6 different types of materials, which were fun to sew.

I'm always looking for new projects and am willng to price them out for you.  Call me directly to discuss your poject details.  612-432-6474

Snowy Days

Wnter is a wonderous time!  It'a a great excuse to begin a new project and spend hours in my sewing room.  Just finished up a pillow project and am now in the process of creating another custom quilt.

If you are thinking of having something warm and cozy made, give me a call or email to get this started for you.

Mother's day, graduation, Father's day are all approaching and great ways to celebrate those special ocassions with a special gift of a personalized quilt.

Looking forward to more snow days!!

Remembrance of a loved one

These memory quilts were recently finished and will be a wonderful way to honor and remember the loved one lost this past year.  They turned out very nice with all quilt squares made out of articles of clothing and tan fabric used as the binding and backing.

To start the new year off, I'm going to be tackling yet again another type of quilt.  It's a keepsake quilt and will hopefully be fun to make and preserve the childhood of a little girl.

Open for more projects in 2013!!  Never too soon to start planning for a graduation quilt.

Post Christmas

Sitting in a coffee shop with my youngest daughter enjoying the slower time after Christmas.  For those of you I did not see or wish, Happy Holidays!!

Thank you to all of my friends and clients for your business over this past year!  It has been wonderful being able to sew or quilt that special project for you and seeing how you have been pleased with how nice the item has turned out.  Some of the projects have been posted, others will soon be posted.

For me, the projects that I'm most proud of are the ones that have an emotional element to it and that I can be a part of their joy or happiness when it's completed.  It really makes me feel good inside!

If there is anything that I can make for you now or in the future,  feel free to call me at 612-432-6474

Christmas is around the corner

Time has been flying by since Thanks Giving and only a few short weeks away until the holidays are upon us!  The employee bazaar at work last week went very well and I was happy to take on several new projects for my coworkers and friends.  With that being said...there is still time for others to get an order completed before Christmas!

NFL and collegiate pillowcases and blankets have been a huge interest for gift giving this year.  If there are other longer term projects that you are looking to have created, give me a call or email me to discuss the details.

I look forward to creating something special for you.  lanenberg@q.com
