This quilt belongs to my Natascha. It was the very first quilt that I designed, a simple patchwork. It was made with quilts, sheets, dresses, and I purchased the lilac and purple fabric new for her. Her favorite color was purple. I wanted an heirloom quilt of her days as a baby and most of the fabrics came from that time. I also made a simple single sham to go with the quilt. The quilt was made for a twin bed, but I like to make my quilts over-sized so they aren't coverlet size. I quilted this on my home sewing machine. I also cheated on the binding, I used curtain tape for it. It is ruffled and she still loves this quilt. She is older now though and her tastes have definitely changed.
Welcome to my blog. In my studio is where I design and create, original, unique fabric art modern quilts. I am currently in the process or working on a all natural and organic line. If you are interested in a custom textile please email me I would love to create one for you to treasure.

New Year, New Designs
I love starting a new year its like starting a new design for a fabulous quilt. Quilts are the fabric of lives. I started this blog to share some of my textiles that I have completed with friends, family and anyone who wants to stop by. I have quilted all of my quilts either on a simple sewing machine, short arm quilting machine and I have even hand quilted. I have quilts starting from the very first quilt I made, the really sweet purple and lilac, with print block quilt to the modern block in neutrals, and the very precious hand quilted Childrens quilt that I hand made on trips back and forth to Arkansas Childrens Hospital in Little Rock. You can read about that story at http://abigaileg.blogspot.com/. It is a wonderful story of faith and perserverance even though the future may look kind of dim at times. I will be posting a picture of each quilt that I have made along with the story of the quilt.
Every good quilt - has a story!
Enjoy !
