Hello! Let me introduce myself and tell you a little bit about me. I've been a patchwork quilter for over 20 years and a longarm quilter for the last 8. I have just quilted my 1000th quilt (not all mine, Ha Ha !!) so you can probably guess that my longarm quilting business is more or less full time. I feel really blessed to have been able to turn my passion into a business and I am continually inspired by the quilts that cross my path. I work from a purpose built studio at the bottom of our garden so the daily commute is a breeze!!

As well as quilting quilts for customers, I try to do a little piecing for myself each day, even if only half an hour or so, and so this blog will be featuring quilts I am working on for customers (with their permission, of course) and projects I am working on for myself. I hope you enjoy my posts and I will try to keep them 'picture heavy', because if you are anything like me, you really enjoy looking at all the photos.
I hope you like the name of my blog! I have to give credit to my friend and fantastic blogger
Katie as she is the one who christened me 'longarm Chris'!! So, as they say - if the name fits!!
Well hello lovely LongArmChris, so very exciting to see where you mk your magic happen. I can now imagine where My 40th Birthday Quilt received its beautiful swirls.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Blogland! May I say I think your studio is FABULOUS! What a dream spot for sewing! And I like seeing your work so far. I'll be back . . .
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogging Chris! Nice to see where the magic happens!
ReplyDeleteHello Longarm Chris! Love the studio and the funky machine. I only started blogging in June so I am new to this game too. Look forward to seeing what magic you can work with your Gammill!
ReplyDeleteHello Longarm Chris, I am looking forward to seeing how you work your magic!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure which I love best...your studio or your garden! What a great way to work. Welcome to the blogging world and I wish you every success. Sounds like you already have it in your quilting business. Lucky girl! :-D

Oh, a lovely peek inside your studio! Welcome to blogging!
ReplyDeleteAwesome workspace! I can't wait to see what you do next.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely workspace. After seeing your lovely work on other blogs it's nice to see you in your own place.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world of blogging, Chris! Your first two posts have already convinced me to add you to my Google reader. Not only is your quilting a great inspiration, but your studio and garden are just gorgeous. I'm a little bit jealous...
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blogging world. Hope that you enjoy it as much as I do. I look forward to you sharing some neat things with us.

ReplyDeleteHi Chris! It's lovely to see your studio. Looking forward to reading your blog and having a peak at your quiting projects. xxx
ReplyDeleteWelcome to teh interwebs!! I am in love with your studio, I would need a bed out there & never go inside the house LOL.
ReplyDeleteDo you have wool batting?
Lush
Sometimes I feel a bed out there would suit me fine!! I can get Hobbs washable wool for customers if that is what they want in their quilt.

I was lucky enough to spend three days with Chris in her studio this week. Such a great place to be, all that fabric, all the quilts you could possibly want and more. Oh and she is a mean cook too! Thanks Chris I had a fab time, must do it again soon xx
