Grinding Away

Millstone Quilts

Regina Simmons and her husband, Chris, restored a 160-year-old gristmill situated in a picturesque landscape rich in Civil War history, turning it into Millstone Quilts. Relics from the 19th century decorate the shop porch.

Slow It Down

Slow It Down

Regina hopes that customers can slow down and appreciate the time-honored hobby of quilting after visiting her store, which gives a nod to Civil War-style quilts.

Machine-Quilting Designs

Machine-Quilting Designs

In Petal Patch, designer Vicki Johnson placed some appliqué flowers off-center for variety. Michelle Eno machine-satin-stitched around each flower three times to create a feeling of movement. She machine-quilted each 16-Patch block with a leaf-and-curlicue motif that accentuates the spiral centers of the flowers.

Petal Power Color Option

Petal Power Color Option

Instead of appliquéd flowers, quilt tester Laura Boehnke showcased a novelty print in the unpieced 8" squares and surrounded all squares with striped strips. Dots, prints, and tone-on-tones in the 16-Patch blocks add to the playful look of the kid-friendly quilt. Fabric is from the Rainbow Zoo collection by Amy Blay for Red Rooster Fabrics.
