My mom had bunion surgery in February, in Great Falls, Montana. We got into town early before the doctor’s appointment, and I visited Quilt-A-Way on 13th St. S. What a great shop! Open and airy, and the fabrics are grouped in unique displays, so that each category, such as vintage or batiks, are showcased in their own areas.
I introduced myself to the gals at the counter, Lynn and Kathy, and showed them a sample of my work. When I had more quilted samples posted online I contacted them and they sent me three quilts to work on.
The first one is a green, red and tan Stack ‘n Whack.
Lynn asked for an overall meander with a neutral thread. I think it turned out really great!
The second one is called Stepping Stones.
Lynn wanted free standing circles, as you can see, and I also stitched-in-the-ditch around all of the seams. 
The third quilt is a shop sample that Kathy had made. She didn’t have a name for it, so I call it the Black, White, and Turquoise quilt. If anyone knows the name of the pattern, please let me know.
She picked a light blue thread and wanted dinner plate sized freehand flowers.
I added loops and leaves around all of the flowers, too.
All in all, I am pleased with the results, and I look forward to working with both of them again. Their piecing is wonderful, I loved their colors, and very nice ladies!
