December 2011 Quilts


We received an order for an entirely new design for a red and white quilt.  After some discussion we decided it required making "yo-yo's", so Sophoan tried them out.  She quickly caught the concept and made 132 yo-yo's for the following quilt:




Figuring out where to place the yo-yo's and to see just how many she would need to make.




Attaching the yo-yo's






Hand sewing all 132 yo-yo's to this quilt!





The final product





Close-up photo of detailed quilting she did all around the quilt.  This was not an easy task with the very old sewing machine Sophoan uses and limited table space.  She did a beautiful job!







Now that the ladies have made several lone star quilts, we're now working to expand the size to make a larger lap quilt.  Isn't this beautiful?





"Guy" quilts are often requested, but it's not easy to find good designs for a more manly quilt.  We found this idea online and tried it out.  It turned out great and was popular through the Christmas sales.
