Get Your Quilt Finished with My Custom Longarm Services

Quilts by Big Wes presents: Longarm Quilt Services

Completing your quilt requires a lot of manual labor. You need to baste your top, batting, and backing, and you need to quilt the “sandwich” together without any of the pieces shifting. If you have a sewing machine capable of free-motion sewing and if you know how to maintain proper stitch length to create intricate designs, you will still need to wrestle with a heavy quilt to finish it.

Thank You Quilt

“Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” is a 1969 song recorded by Sly and the Family Stone, and it perfectly describes the reason I made this quilt. This project went to one of my all-time favorite high school teachers. Mr. Burrell, aka Mr. B, was a fantastic educator and an even more amazing motivator. He helped me through a very rough time, and I will always be thankful for him encouraging me to be the best version of myself (or mice elf).

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc Quilt

Creating this AKA quilt was a special challenge (and treat) for me because I quilted the whole thing with intricate ivy leaves. Tshirt quilts also present the unique challenge of having to balance different-sized shirts into a grid. The owner of this quilt gave me some great insight into how she wanted her shirts arranged.
