Kathy Harvey of Sweet Relish Quilting has done it again!
I have learned to just give my quilts to Kathy and set her free to explore
and do what she thinks will work best on the quilt. I have never been
sorry. Kathy has an unerring knack for selecting the perfect
combination of patterns to quilt my work. She really makes my quilts
look good! A plain old stitch in the ditch anyone can do but the
designs Kathy uses on quilts enhances the quilt and makes it look terrific!
I can't thank her enough for what she has done to the Friendship quilt made
for Orangegrove Quilters Guild November Show silent auction.
www.orangegrovequiltersguild.com I'm sure it will sell
quickly. Sharon Hritz
Kathy - What a surprise and pleasure to find someone who
takes the time and effort to quilt my tops so beautifully. I think you
took more time to beautify them than I did to make them originally.
Thank you so much. I will definitely be bringing more of my work your
way in the immediate future! Chris Schlager

Dear Kathy, I love the pattern you chose to quilt my
friendship quilt! I knew well enough to just leave the design up to
you. You always have such good taste with your quilting designs.
Your impeccable work makes me look good. Thank you again. Love,
Sharon Hritz

You did a wonderful job on the quilt...Thank you!

Kathy, I just love the way you quilted by "Bob the
Builder Quilt". I also love the fact that you saved me the hours of
agonizing I would have had if I had attempted to quilt it myself. At
most I probably would have ended up with stitch in the ditch and it would
never have looked 'complete' as it does now. your turn-around was
fantastic and your prices actually should be raised!! Thank you so
much for helping me make a quilt I will e proud to turn into West Coast
Quilters to give to Fountain Valley Hospital. Jaye

It's beautiful!! Thanks. Catherine Wynne

Dear Kathy, Thank you so much for the lovely
quilting work you did on my quilt. It is like the frosting on the
cake. I am so pleased with the work we both did. I can't wait to
get another top finished so that you can quilt it. Carolyn Mohanty

I'm very pleased with the quilting quality and design.
I was also happy that it was completed quickly. Merci

Kathy, Thank you for quilting my blue stripy quilt.
It looks much better after you quilted it. My boo boos don't show as
much. Toshi

Dear Kathy Harvey; We had to let you know how much
we appreciate the great job of quilting you did on our quilt. We have
shown it to numerous friends and neighbors and they agree it is a beautiful
piece of work. We hope you get many jobs from our referrals as we
think you are great! We are also going to recommend you to our Yorba
Linda Adult Quilting class. Your recommendation to use the pale orchid
thread and the feather meandering pattern for the quilting added the touch
the quilt needed to be outstanding. Thanks again, until we have the
next quilt ready for you. Sincerely; Fran & Burdie Burd

Hi Kathy, I just wanted to let you know how much I love
the long-arm quilting you've done on both of my large quilts! Your
choice of pattern and thread color is perfect and really enhanced the
finished quilt. Orange County is lucky to have Sweet Relish in our
neighborhood, with a wonderful quilter! Thanks for doing such lovely
work. Happy Quilting, Kisma Reidling

Kathy, I can't begin to tell you how much I love the
quilts you have quilted for me. I just finished the binding on the Sea
Shell quilt that will be a wedding gift. It is just stunning. I
am now working on the binding for the house quilt which came out just
beautiful. Your comments about what my friends had written on the
quilt made me feel so good. The quilt is very very special to me and
the quilting just made it so perfect. I LOVE the special little
kitties you put as a surprise on my cat quilt. I will soon have that
finished and it will also be a gift. I so appreciate your suggestions
on how to quilt and what colors to use. So far every quilt has turned
out just beautiful. Keep up the good work and I'll keep the quilts
coming! Peachi Mussen

Kathy...I sent the first quilt you did for me to my foster
daughter and her little son, Fletcher is enjoying it as well. Thank
you again for such a beautiful job done. The quilt and the story
of why it was created brought such tears but they were tears of joy and
love. Thanks again....Peachi Mussen
Maurine says 'Thanks! It's beautifully done." Carol

Dear Kathy, As I write this note to thank you I am
looking at my Thimbleberries quilt. How beautiful! The colors
are rich, the blocks made perfect. What a lucky person I am to have
such wonderful friends. The quilt will be treasured and held close to
my heart. For me to be speechless is rare. I am still overjoyed.
I know all the work that went into making the quilt. I really
appreciate you and your lovely quilting. Thank you again for your
friendship. Love, Doris Binaco

Dear Kathy, Thank you again for quilting my dragon
quilt with the fleece backing. You did a great job. I finished
the binding last night and wrapped it for my daughter. I appreciate
your calling me to check if what you had planned would be ok. Of
course it is. You are very thorough and careful with everything you
do. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. You make me
look good. Thank you! Love, Sharon Hritz

Dear Kathy, We are all so pleased with your quilting!
Amber's comments were, "It's so pretty...What should we name it?" and " I
like it". She then followed the path of some of the quilting around
and around. My daughter is also very pleased with it. Thanks so
much. I wish I had found you sooner. Merry Christmas, Sally

What can I say? - It's perfect. I'll try for a
picture of my son when he gets it. Thanks, Fran Auda

Dear Kathy, Thank you so much. The quilt is lovely -
I really enjoyed the leaf pattern. Sincerely, JoAnn Johnson

Kathy, It's just beautiful. I'm glad we had the
chance to work on a silk quilt. Thanks again, Ginger Fajack

Kathy, I just finished binding my quilt. When I
finished the top I thought 'I have created a monster' and what can I do with
it? My friend said to take it to Kathy and let her machine quilt it.
The size was 80" x 90" and I was not equipped to even get the three layers
together, so it was an answer to prayer when Kathy took the three separate
layers and gave me back a beautifully finished quilt only needing to be
bound! I would recommend her quilting to anyone, also she was very
helpful in deciding on the color of thread and pattern to use. I'm
thankful I met Kathy and I got to see her wonderful work room. May you
be blessed as you continue in your good work. Most Sincerely, Lena
Hahn

Thank you so much for bringing my quilt to guild
yesterday. You may have seen me showing it to several people sitting
near me. We all agreed that you did a terrific job on it!! I'm
happy to say the binding is on and I'll be finishing it up today. My
sister-in-law will love it. Thanks for your good work! :o)

Thanks for doing such a great job on my "Twist" quilt.

Good job! Kathy does a great job and aims to please
as well. She is not afraid to try a new design and helps when you have
no idea as to what you want. from Carol Siegmeyer
I love the work Kathy Harvey does with her Sweet Relish
Machine quilting. Kathy has quilted four of my quilts. The first
one was a quilt for our guild auction. After that I fell in love with
the idea of machine quilting my larger quilts. However the temptation
was too great when I finished a red work quilt and the thought of quilting
it was not something I wanted to do, even though a lap quilt, I knew Kathy
could make it come to life with her magic machine. Needless to say I
am very happy with Kathy and Sweet Relish!
I had planned to just stitch in the ditch and got to
thinking about how neat it would look with machine quilting all over.
Kathy did a marvelous job bringing out the best in my quilt.
I love what Kathy did with the machine quilting. The
quilt was twin size and I didn't even want to wrestle it around on a little
machine. I was very pleased with Sweet Relish results. from
Sharon Hritz
I am very happy with my quilt. You did a wonderful
job (I knew you would). I love it! It looks great and I am
anxious to get the binding on so it is finished. I have so many UFO's
that it feels great to finish one once in awhile. Especially a big one
like this. Thank you again for doing such a great job. The quilt
will be going on my bed so I can enjoy it every day. Hugs, Nancy Post
I took a longer look at the quilt and just love the
pumpkins. Your work is beautiful. I hope you have time to do
some things for yourself. You are one special person and I am glad
that we know each other. from Carol Mohanty
It is wonderful to have someone like Kathy Harvey to take
such an interest and such a quick turn around. Workmanship is
excellent. from Betty Barnes
