So for the first time, I had a few of my quilts quilted by other people. That’s kind of hard for me, because I can be a bit of a control freak – just ask my kids, or my husband, maybe even my dog! I had a pile of quilts that I needed to get done, so c’est la vie! This quilt was quilted by Ida Houston of Cowtown Quilts. It is beautiful! I can’t show the entire quilt, yet, but here are some detailed shots.

Ida really makes the quilting play off of the concept of the quilt. When I told her the name of the quilt, which has ‘pearl’ in it, she wanted that to be central to the quilting. This last picture shows her modern take on a sand dollar – since pearls come from sand.

I couldn’t be happier with the quilting! Thank You, Ida!
