If you’ve followed me for a while, then you’re probably aware that Melissa of Sew Shabby Quilting is my go-to long-arm quilter.
Everything you Need to Know About Sew Shabby Quilting
Melissa is a talented custom quilter – check out the amazing custom work on this Halloween quilt for a recent client. In this case the customer wanted a really traditional style to complement the quilt. I think it’s stunning. (The quilt pattern is called Midnight Silhouette.)
Here’s another example of Melissa’s custom work with a little bit of modern flair. I love the way the pumpkins pop! And did you notice the ‘ghost pumpkins’ in the quilting? I love it! (The quilt pattern is called Midnight Silhouette.)
In addition to her custom quilting, Melissa also has a great price and turnaround on edge to edge quilting. Melissa quilted my Christmas version of the Pine Hollow pattern – this time we tried the Sashiko design and I love the way it works with the trees.
You can find out all of the details, plus see the edge-to-edge quilting patterns Melissa offers on her website.
In addition to her long-arm services, Melissa is also a pattern designer! This Astral Quilt is one of my favorites! It’s even prettier in real life. You can find the pattern for the Astral Quilt here.
Melissa has a kit for this Astral Quilt in her Etsy shop (pattern included). I think the fabrics and colors in this kit are gorgeous.
And, good news! Melissa is offering 20% off of everything in her Etsy shop (Astral Quilt kit included!) with code DIAQ20 at checkout! Melissa has a bunch of great bundles including Christmas collections, recent Ruby Star and Anna Maria Horner and even some Gretel. Sale goes through Monday, October 28.

October 26, 2019 at 6:00 pmI subscribed! I’m so in love with all your quilts and color choices! By far, the best I’ve seen! 🙂 They make me want to do them all! I’m somewhat of a beginner quilter. I inherited my mother’s sewing/quilt room contents. I’m overwhelmed! I have her projects but the patterns aren’t with the projects she started. Plus I have a lot of vintage fabric but I don’t know what to do with it! And how many scissors does one really need? Lol. Any suggestions appreciated!
Bless you for sharing your great talent!
