When I first received this custom request, the first word I saw was KING. My eyes glazed over for a split second until I realized it was a King Bed Runner. I was intrigued, as I had never made a bed runner, let alone ever thought about it.
When Rachel first contacted me and let it be known that she had been quietly 'stalking' my shop and my quilting style seemed right up her alley, I knew I had to work with her! After a little back and forth with ideas, size and colors we came up with a plan!

The gray back ground lets each panel and color stand out. I was a quilting demon with the waves! Lots and lots of horizontal organic lines!
Creative photography...I love shooting pictures from crazy angles just to see how it turns out. This shot was my favorite!
Besides the runner, there was a pillow cover in the mix too!

Of course staying with the theme, I incorporated all three panels in to one lovely pillow! Classic envelope closure in gray and again, lots of quilting. Except for the pillow I used different thread colors.
You never really know if someone is going to like the finished product in person. Selling on Etsy has been amazing for me. Perfect solution to my quilting obsession. That being said, the majority of people do not come back to let you know how they liked something. Even when you make custom quilts for them! I know...I maybe a little insecure!
Rachel came through! Not only did she let me know right away that she loved her new bed jewelry, she sent me pictures!
I kinda want to live here! Gorgeous room Rachel! I am ecstatic with the finish and that you love these. Thank you again for having complete confidence in me!
...and it is still raining...

ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to have that feedback on something which is handmade and therefore personal. Beautiful design!
ReplyDeleteThe organic wavy line quilting is really effective, I am quite taken by it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous! Love the solids & the colour selections and the quilting is just right!
ReplyDeleteThey came out SO well!! I absolutely loved watching these come together. And seeing yours makes me realize what I didn't like about my previous attempt at this: I made my waves too thick. I love how intricately pieced yours is!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful use of solids and color. The quilting is wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this. And what a perfect setting for your work! :)
