Kyle is my co-worker at the local quilt shop, Quilt Cove. Kyle has worked there 20+ years and works the shift after me, so we usually get to catch up with each other. But the quilt shop closing date has been announced now--November 30th. For all employees, last week was our last week to work! The owner is running the shop alone for the final 2 weeks. The shop is at 40% off.

Beautiful quilts and perfect quilting. Especially love the All Squared Up.
ReplyDeleteAll Squared Up is a stunner. I thought it was going to be my favorite, then I kept scrolling! They are all just beautiful. I especially love the fabrics in the VR quilt, and that flannel print is so cute. Tell her I am impressed! Your quilting, of course, is the icing. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work from both of you ladies!
ReplyDeleteI still miss working at the shop a year later so I feel for what you are going through now. Hopefully you can still connect to the workers there. Love Kyle's quilts, especially Summer Time fun. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

I'm sorry to know your quilt shop is closing, Nancy. As is my LQS, yours is probably not just a place to get beautiful fabric, but also a place to meet up with quilty friends and get lots of inspiration. Kyle's quilts are beautiful, and your quilting finishes them off perfectly!
ReplyDeleteWell, that's a bummer. It's a problem all over. I think in the next year or so we will experience higher prices on imported things. Does fabric come from other countrys or does lots of it come from here? I just bought some fabric at my LQS and it said made in Japan!
ReplyDeleteHow sad to loose another quilt shop. Love the community that evolves because of them. You and Kyle make a great team.
ReplyDeleteHow sad for the quilt shop, and all the employees' work. Nothing to celebrate, but I hope you had a good time together last week. Kyle's quilts are wonderful! I love All Squared Up, such a stunning quilt, and the Malachite pattern is perfect with all these swirls and rounds. Fun Flowers is fun too! Thank you for sharing these beautiful quilts and your fabulous quilting.
ReplyDeleteLovely tops and the quilting is perfect on all.
ReplyDeleteI always like to see what you are doing. I particularly like the use of Malachite on All Squared Up. It looks terrific on the back. 2nd favorite is Summer Time Fun. I'm sorry to hear the quilt shop is closing. We've had two local quilt shops closed in the last 5 years or so. 1 opened up after the 1st one closed. Now the only quilt shops left are an hour plus away. Sigh. Maybe I don't need more fabrics....
ReplyDeleteAs always, your quilting is lovely, especially the Malachite design on the Squared Up quilt. I'm also happy for you to know for sure the end date for work. No doubt that will be good timing for holiday preparations. Besides continuing to longarm quilt in 2025, do you jnow what you'll be doing?
ReplyDeleteBummer about your quilt shop closing! I loved Kyle's All Squared Up quilt!!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteKyle has so many great projects, made even more fabulous with your quilting! I am so sorry you are all done. I am sure you will find a way to fill your time!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes! It's always sad when a quilt shop closes. Hopefully that means more stitching time.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful quilts... I would love to recreate the first one... this sea of colors is exactly mine :-)))
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad that your quilt shop is closing. We don't have much of a quilting tradition and I have to travel far to buy fabrics. I always don't have enough fabric :-)) I've also just started with quilts and the like... my first binding is currently in the works and two more are waiting for me...
Wishing you all the best.
Hug from Viola
(p.s. when I'm done I'll put it in the blog my quilt)
Thank you for your fotos.
Your quilting enhances each of these quilts! I'm sorry to read that the shop is closing. More time for you to work on customers' projects?
ReplyDeleteKyle has made some wonderful quilts. Very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteYes, sad to see the shop closing. I know you knew it was coming, but it is still sad.
Beautiful quilts made by Kyle and your quilting is fabulous. A perfect pair. So sorry to hear about the quilt shop. Hope this provides you opportunities for more custom quilting.
