Longarm quilting machines can take the place of hand quilting and do in hours what used to take weeks. I guide Tillie by hand, using patterns, templates or just following a freehand motif.
I've quilted all kinds of quilt tops, including baby quilts, group quilts, wedding quilts and quilts to comfort people. I also love to work on quilt tops made by creative sewers who bring a “Bend-the-Rules” attitude to their projects.* I know all these wonderful tops can linger on the shelf – alone and unquilted – because time and other priorities of modern life get in the way.
So. If you don’t think you’ll EVER finish…I’d love to help. Thanks for visiting. I can't wait to help you complete your quilt and please see what I am up to right now over on the Tillie Studio blog.
When I'm not quilting, it's Grammie Time!
This is thrilling. I am just about to start a quilt top but I was (frankly) dreading the crawling around on my knees part!

This IS good news indeed!
I won't have to try desperately to cram a quilt through my poor ol' regular machine again. Hooray!
And look at you and that bebe.
;)

Hi Gayle, love the website... i am going to post a review for you - five out of five stars.... Gayle has quilted two wedding quilts for our family in the past two years..... they both turned out better than we could have ever dreamed. Gayle offered sage advice about the quilting pattern and the thread color that would look best on each quilt, all completely right on. We were all so impressed and grateful for her talent. She will be getting all of our business from now on (there are a few more unwed cousins out there).
