Last night we, @endearme, really got the party started 😂 #quiltcon2023 I am pretty sure I need longer arms for effective selfies… Atlanta at night from the nose bleed section ❤️ Now if only I could get my roomie to be quiet. She’s so ExTRa 😉😉 #getyouacarlajustnotmine #hotlanta #seriouslyfixtheac #lisascreativequilting #lisaarndt #endearme #modernquilters (at Atlanta Convention Center at AmericasMart) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpBi1SEJSQk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s your stuff… Make your own rules :)

Thanks I think your right :)

It is soooo good! This #maggiemaguiresgardenquilt of Betty’s is just amazing. I belong to a group of ladies that tend to do things together. This will be the first of many and what a first she is! If you could’ve felt how flat these paper pieced hexies were….NEXT level! #innovalongarmquilts #lisaannarndt #lisascreativequilting #freemotionquilting #quiltsofinstagram (at LisasCreativeQuilting.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChEA3Aluzbf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Took a break from some top secret quilting to work on this fabulous wool quilt! This one was fun. Different textured backgrounds followed up with some #superiormonopolythread to outline the wool. Looking good! Looking good! #woolapplique #mygarden #lisaarndt #lisascreativequilting #freemotionquilting #innovalongarm #glidethread (at LisasCreativeQuilting.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cez2jIXOMi9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have really been on a curved cross hatch and curls kick lately. Feels like home outlining Applique and adding lines and feathers. This one has been done for quite awhile but needed it day on the gram. Sometimes I forget to post quilt finishes and sometimes they are “secret”. Know this though I am quilting!! Call me if you need a quilter. #lisascreativequilting #innova #appliquequilt #glidethread #customquilter #myclientsarethebest (at LisasCreativeQuilting.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdeCX5-pBFy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Take a look at this wonderful #antiqueweddingsamplerquilt made by my wonderful friend/client, Nancy T. *fun fact-Nancy and I started hand Applique at the same time…. She is WAY better than me* LOL! Pattern is from @difordhall. I quilted it with one layer of Hobbs80/20 batting using #innovatech thread top and #magnaglidebobbins I am just over the moon with how this quilt turned out. Thanks for waiting patiently Nancy! #innovaclassic #innovian #freemotionquilting #rulerwork #handapplique #customquilting #lisascreativequilting (at LisasCreativeQuilting.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbBEArbJSuN/?utm_medium=tumblr

This quilt!!! My client @ellencam23 knocked it out of the park! We did an interesting batting combo black @hobbsbatting 80/20 with @quiltersdream 100%cotton white on top. It worked amazing! I think she liked it so much it might have been kept instead of gifted 😂. Thanks Ellen for finding me on IG and mailing your project. I enjoyed working with you! #myclientsarethebest #innovamachine #rulerwork #modernquilt #glidethread #quiltsofinstagram #lisascreativequilting (at LisasCreativeQuilting.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdiszq5ufIQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Look at this beauty who is dropped off and in it’s forever home! I have this pattern and wool all picked out… now if only I were the kind of person who quilted things 😂 This #Merrychristmasquilt by #hearttohand is a true wonder! I remember how excited I was at market (like15yrs ago)to meet the maker and buy the pattern for this quilt. It all came full circle with this finish! Makes me almost feel like I got it done. Used #quiltedpineapplerulers, as always, for this arched border. Gah…I might have to just go dig out that kit. See you after I find it! #innovalongarmquilting #customquilting #rulerwork #quiltersdreamblack #woolapplique #primitivequilts #lisascreativequilting #lisaarndt (at LisasCreativeQuilting.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc6OHmGp7L5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Don’t mind me. Just alittle past quilting! This quilt has been dropped off and is living its best life with its owner. I am slower than a dang turtle but when they are done… they are good! I have quilted this quilt before for local shop. I had shingles in my left eye while I worked on that one… this one might be better because I could actually see. LOL! I have loved this quilt for a long time. I am glad I got to see one again! #lisascreativequilting #lisaarndt #innovalongarm #innovalongarmfmq #glidethread #hobbsinside #hobbs8020 #quiltsofinstagram #appliquequilt #machineapplique #myclientsarethebest (at Wesley Chapel, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTC9XQanSCh/?utm_medium=tumblr

#marymannakee was picked up and Lorraine showed it to our hand Applique group. I wasn’t able to be at meeting but I assumed it had gone off with a BANG! A couple weeks later I see a mutual friend who comments on Lorraine’s Mary that it “looked quite yellow”. Mentally I think…well that happens with a 14 year old hand appliquéd quilt. Oils from hands and all that. Out loud I say… “yeah, there was a spot that was discolored. It happens.” I move on. Thank God that Lorraine is a wonderful human and a perfect client. She calls me! Nicely asking if there is something she can do about the yellowing…. WHAT?!? Like for real, WHAT are you talking about?!? No way that one spot can be it. So I meet up with my dear friend and….. it’s AWFUL! The quilt has turned yellow. Not an “ohhh look at that age” yellow but a “did someone pee on that” yellow! I DIED. I took Mary home. I asked around to the best of the best in our field and was informed that YES, sometimes when you add baking soda to the water to remove the blue lines… it can and will turn YELLOW. Dead again. I marked ALOT on Mary. This quilt is a swan song. It is amazing and it has amazing quilting and it’s freaking YELLOW…. Mentally after the year I have had I just wanted to throw in the towel sell everything I own and go work at Starbucks. “HI, may I take your order?” @helloiamjoshuajames tells me to grow up…MANY people do not LOVE their job and I should consider myself lucky that I have/do have a job I normally LOVE. I think of smothering him with a goose down pillow. The only thing to do is to stay in town and get the job done. So I unpack my car and put away the down pillow😂 It needs to be fixed. This quilt is 108” square. So I cleaned my tub and cleared out my living room. I rinse the quilt (twice) in just cold water, pray it doesn’t bleed, drain, spin in the washer and stake it to the insulation set up in my living room. I put two fans on it over night. Then I wait….. #bluemarkingpen #lisascreativequilting #lisaarndt #handapplique #innovalongarmquilting #customquilter (at LisasCreativeQuilting.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYJ7Es2LGH8/?utm_medium=tumblr

I haven’t been myself for about a year. 2021 has been a rough one for me medically and mentally. I have talked about and thought about quitting longarming more times than I can count! BUT when @helloiamjoshuajames talked of selling my machine… I always told him NO!! I will keep it until I DIE! So here is a long story about a quilt that helped me get my “sewjo” back! This quilt is from a lovely friend and client her in FL. Lorraine M. When I say I LOVE her.. I mean I literally enjoy her every moment. I also enjoy her quilts. This quilt is called #marymannakkee. I have seen exactly TWO of these quilts finished in my 23 years of quilting. This one is Lorraine’s. It took her 14 years to hand Applique. I am not even sure HOW long it took me to quilt. You see I was in a funk so it was on a VERY along time. Lorraine waited. She had a deadline. I went atleast a couple weeks past that deadline. Here you can see the marks I used with a water soluble marking pen. (I use these all the time) This pen is removed with water… NORMALLY. Stay tuned for the next entry on the “quilt that changed my life.” LOL! #lisascreativequilting #lisaarndt #innovalongarm #customquilting #rulerwork #handapplique #watersolublepen #idonotquit (at Wesley Chapel, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/lisascreativequilting/p/CXO3yowpoKZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Finished this little gem a couple weeks ago! Linda W actually hand blanket stitched each of these appliqués… FOOLED ME! Her stitching is perfect. This @bunnyhilldesigns pattern #merrymerrysnowmen quilt is on my list! (But let’s face it… that list is LONG) I used #glidethread and #magnaglidebobbins for the stitching on my #innovalongarm. I went around the appliqués with #superiormonopolythread. I always use my fish ruler from @nanfishpaw and curves from @thequiltedpineapple. Always! #lisaarndt #lisascreativequilting #rulerwork #ithasacomputerbutididntuseit #innovanation #findmeinfl #quilt #quiltsofinstagram (at Wesley Chapel, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUK2xDrL9e_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just a peek.... it’s finished. Just have to remove the blue lines. I use a solution of 1/4 tsp baking soda to one cup water. I use a water brush and swipe away. Works like a charm. This #okehampton quilt was expertly appliquéd and pieced by my friend/client Chris. Pattern is by #karenstyles from #somersetdesigns. Chris always knocks it out of the park!! #innovian #innovalongarm #freemotionlongarmquilting #rulerwork #hobbsbatting #innovatechthread #quiltedpineapplerulers #lisaarndt #lisascreativequilting #customquilting #findmeinfl https://www.instagram.com/p/CLhLia7HhHa/?igshid=r2ixl9hmarcq
