Carrie On The Prairie: December 2024

These are the last two quilts I completed in 2024. The Red, White, and Blue one was pieced by my 10-year-old daughter, Cord. And the Blue Twister quilt was pieced by my 12-yr-old daughter, Hoxie. They bought the fabric while we were in Iowa, visiting friends and family.

I quilted 132 pieces on my longarm quilting machine in 2024.

A total of 1,339 quilts since getting my first longarm in August 2015. Happy New Year!

From my clients...

There aren't the right words in my dictionary... I couldn't have wished for more beautiful quilting... you've embossed it with your quilting and elevated the quilt to a higher level! So glad to be in cahoots with you. - Linda -------------------------------------- I was so excited to pick up the quilts and your quilting far exceeded my expectations. The batik brown circle quilt is stunning! I just love your feathers! The ‘modern’ purple, green, white is absolutely beautiful!! Oh, I was so delighted!! I just keep going back and forth to look at them, lol! They are just as beautiful on the back. Your quilting is totally outstanding! Thank you!! My gosh, you are so very talented! You certainly have a gift! - Perdy -------------------------------------- I just spread the big quilt out on a bed, and for sure the quilting is what makes it!!!! Fabulous job. I like it now - LOL! Thank you for your originality in quilting it. - Rosemarie -------------------------------------- I had to thank you again for the work you did on my quilt. Every time I look at it I love it even more. Your work is stunning!!! Thank You. Gloria -------------------------------------- I absolutely adore these quilts, Carrie. You are an amazing artist - your quilting is absolutely beautiful. I truly feel that your cheerfulness, kind spirit and faith shine through your work…these quilts absolutely make me smile. Thanks again - Trish -------------------------------------- What a treasure! The quilting is playful and fits perfectly with the appliqué! Wait till everyone sees it! Good job, Carrie. Another A+! - Linda -------------------------------------- It is one awesome quilt...Thank you so much...It was so exciting to open the parcel. Like a kid at Xmas. I've laid it out on my hardwood floor and standing admiring as I email. The photos were just a tease. - Deb -------------------------------------- I started the binding on my quilt today, and the more I look at it the more gorgeous it looks. Thank you. I may have to keep this one instead of giving it away. - Gloria -------------------------------------- I love it, I love it, I love it! - Kathy -------------------------------------- I was really pleased with the outcome of both my quilts. I will have to do a landscape quilt and let you try your artistic talent on it. I am going to start another bed quilt as soon as I get the bindings on these quilts, so I will have a big one for you in a couple of months! - Betty -------------------------------------- Hi, Carrie, I picked up my quilt at church today and was wowed. You did a fabulous job and I absolutely love the custom quilting. I think the back looks as good as the front. Many thanks! - Bev -------------------------------------- Carrie, I got my quilt today, and I can tell you that I just started smiling when I saw it. Your quilting is beautiful! You turned that sorta mediocre top we made, with all those colors and no pattern, into a real beauty. My niece is going to be out-of-her-mind happy with it. So, thank you. You're a sweetheart. The next time I see you, I'll give you a big quilter's hug! - Sarah
