For years, you may have noticed that Melissa of Sew Shabby Quilting is my go-to longarm quilter. She has been quilting the majority of my quilts for over 5 years now.
Meet Sew Shabby Quilting
Here's a close up of some of her work. She has a great price and turnaround on edge to edge quilting. This pattern is on of my favorites - it's called Yodel.
I'm also a big fan of the Baptis Fan (get it! 😉 ) pattern for lots of texture and a traditional feel.
Melissa also does amazing custom quilting if you are looking for something special and unique. You can find out all of the details, plus see the edge-to-edge quilting patterns Melissa offers on her website.
And now, Melissa has opened a brand new fabric shop with a variety of fun new fabric kits, bundles and yardage!
Some recent additions include this Fat Quarter bundle of Blush by Jen Allyson with pretty rose gold accents.
Also brand new in stock is English Garden by Rifle Paper Co. You can see more of the the fun selection here including Joel Dewberry, Tula Pink, and Anna Maria Horner.
A couple of years ago, Melissa created this gorgeous quilt pattern called Astral. You can find the PDF pattern here.
This summer, Melissa has created a new version of Astral and kitted this pattern with a mixture of Allison Glass's 2018 Sunprints and Insignia fabrics.
The kit is everything for a finished quilt (88" x 88"), except the binding and backing, including 4.25 yds background in Alison Glass Diatom in Seagull, 16 colored Fat Quarters, 4 White FQs, and 8 Extra prints for optional fussy cutting in the center blocks – these are a mixture of Alison glass and Cotton and Steel.
It is a $135 value – currently on sale for $99! UPDATE: Kits are Sold Out!
Today, Melissa has two fun things for you readers:
1st: Use the code DOAQ10 for 10% off everything in the shop - including this kit! (With the exception of pre-orders.) Good through Monday, August 13.
2nd: Melissa is giving away a $50 Gift Certificate! This Gift Certificate can be used on quilting services or fabric! Woo! To enter to win, subscribe to Melissa's Newsletter (right sidebar on her home page) and come back here to leave a comment telling me you've done so. (To leave a comment click on the word bubble in the top right corner of this post and scroll to the bottom.) A winner will be randomly chose Monday morning! GIVEAWAY CLOSED

I’m now on Melissa’s email list. I’ve been following your blog for several years and enjoy the highlights you give on the quilting for your quilts. A good relationship with a quilter is certainly what makes the piecing of a quilt worthwhile. Thanks for the chance in the giveaway. clara-chandler@att.net
