Professional Longarm Quilting Services
The pattern for this quilt is by Windsong and it’s absolutely gorgeous!
Its maker gifts almost all of her quilts, this one is for her!
It is kingsized and truly showcases her amazing piecing skills!
We chose the quilting design A Little of This which softly plays on the designs of some of the batik fabrics. Its density flows so beautifully over this quilt, which will allow for a perfect drape over her bed.
Her quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up!
The cold snap that I mentioned in my last post has continued, though not as extreme it was when I wrote my post. We are all hoping for milder temperatures here soon.
My studio thankfully is warm and I am busy running my longarm!
My customer made this adorable quilt to gift to her kitty loving friend. She used cozy flannel for the backing that was already so sweet and added pieced kitties to make it even sweeter …
We chose the quilting design Two of Hearts.

As many in North America are also in a cold snap we are no exception. This weather makes me so very thankful for where I live and that I am able to work from home!
This mornings weather snapshot…
The days are getting longer and brighter and the sunshine is more than welcome…warmer temperatures would be as well.
This recent quilt was a lovely burst of happy colour! On both sides!!!
The top was pieced using the Chandelier pattern.
The quilting design Shasta Daisy was chosen purely for its loveliness.
The backing was pieced making this a truly double sided quilt.
It was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up.
I joined Tara Faughnans block studies this year and I am so glad that it did!!
Now I do admit that I don’t have as many completed projects as I would like. I do have something started from each month.
This month’s prompt with guest instructor Jen Carlton Bailey of Bettycrockerass. Her block Shattered along with her suggested Palette have brought excitement and fun into my January piecing time!
I do love piecing curves! I was very tempted to order her Curvy templates and might still at some point.
When I discovered that I already had the templates needed for the block size (thanks to Daisy of WarmFolk and a workshop that I took part in a few years ago) shown I went with that!
The scraps left over from one of the steps were fun to piece together!
Finishing the block last night made me want to dive into making more and I am sure that I will!
This amazing quilt graced my frame last week! It was beautifully pieced and thankfully with all those seams its maker Donna took a Victory lap around it when she completed her piecing!
For those who don’t know a victory lap as some call it is stay stitching a seam around the tops edges about 1/6”. This secures the seams and prevents them from popping. I sometimes do this when I have heavily pieced blocks or sections of a quilt.
We chose the quilting design New Wave, with its soft flowing curves it really accentuates the movement in her quilt!
I offer complementary trimming to my customers which is almost always requested. I have the space that many don’t have especially for these really large quilts! I do send all of the trimmed pieces home with the quilts.
Donna’s quilt was ready for binding at pick up!
A long time quilter and customer of mine was concerned when she called about bringing me her quilt. She has been having issues with her eye sight. She told me she still loves and wants to make quilts and hoped her work was still good enough… yes it had a few areas that told me that it had been a challenge for her to piece.
Still it turned out beautifully! I often choose a fun quilting design like Popcorn for these critter quilts. I love both the density and soft cloud like appearance.

And my customer was so thrilled to see another one of her quilts so near to completion.
Years ago when I took my first yoga class the instructor asked why we were there and what we thought the purpose of learning yoga was…of course many answered fitness and stretching but she said it’s so much more than that…it’s also about relaxation.
Quilting is the same for many others including many of my customers and myself.
I do love to attain beautiful points and matching in my piecing, I love playing with colour and design and lovely stitches and density in my quilting, however what I really love is the joy and fun this craft adds to life!
When my customer picked up her sweet quilt her reaction and excitement to be able to succeed in her craft truly brought joy to my heart.
