my talented long arm machine quilters...
my most recent "quilt by check..."
Fresh!
Vintage Modern by Camille Roskelly.
I love how the wave quilting looks on this modern version of a classic star block.
I also love the yellows!

(Yes, you read correctly. That is her other job.)
She manages the only quilt shop in the metro Chicago area,
Second City Quilt Company.
During our conversation she asked if I quilted by hand,
or if I "quilted by check"...
wow!
I never heard that phrase before but I instantly knew what she meant!
We both agreed that we mostly "quilt by check,"
meaning that we mostly send our pieced quilts to a professional long arm quilter to finish.
I love that phrase!
This shop and this woman are worthy of a second visit...or more!
One final note...
While I was taking pictures at the park this morning,
I thought I saw a spot on the quilt...
But it was not a spot...
It was a very nice bug.
