Zipper Leader Cloth

This doesn't look like much but these are zippered leader cloth for my quilt frame. If they (I) work correctly it will take me 30 minutes to put any quilt on the frame instead of hours. I'm wishing me luck, today I'll try them out for the first time.

Isaac & Kelsey



















I bought the fabrics at a quilt shop by the beach. It was pricey but Dale & I LOVE the fabrics! This is the Mesa, AZ Temple. The same temple my parents were sealed in. I loved doing this quilt!

Ada Quilt




This was some time in 2011. I used Asian fabrics. Beautiful though busy.

Quick Quilt



I ironed, cut and pieced this together in 4 hours.

This is where I will practice my "feathering" technique.

Anatomy of J.C. quilt

  • Embroider 20 Seattle Temple Blocks
  • Cut out first block
  • Add second block










  • Always iron each step of the way
  • Cut off extra fabric to make "perfect" triangles (use a "Square in a Square" tool)
  • Second block complete











  • Third block complete
  • Fourth block complete
  • All five blocks complete











  • Bottom sashing
  • Side sashing
  • Border
TOP FINISHED













I will use my Juki mid arm quilter to quilt feathers in gold thread later this month.

Mt. Timpanogos

Current quilt I'm working on March of 2011.
It is for friends daughter that will be sealed in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple in April.


This is one of the 20 blocks up close.
This is the close up of the embroidery. It took 10 hours just to do all the embroidery work
