The Herringbone was the second quilt that I have quilted for Eryn the first one was her One Block Wonder.
Her Herringbone quilt is so light bright and fresh looking, it was quilted using the pantograph parchment.

Joan’s Triangle Quilt
Joan made this quilt as per her Granddaughters request. I loved the bubbles on many of the fabrics which led me to choosing the pantograph Bubbles! Such a beautiful quilt for a young teen.
Catherine’s Drunkards Path Quilt
Another amazing piecing job by Catherine. She told me that she used what she had on hand for this quilt top, I recognized most of the fabrics from previous quilts that I have done for her.
The Flower Block of The Month
This last year or so has afforded many quilters time to work on their ufo’s. This one went back a bit and my customer and I reminisced about how the quality of quilting fabric has improved since the 90’s along with the variety available. I recognized many of the fabrics from my early quilting days.
With all of the different flowers and also some embellishments already added I decided to add the pantograph butterfly charm to this flower garden.
The Hockey Quilts
These two quilts will be so much fun for the young hockey players that this customer made them for.
She varied the colours on the two and I chose the windswept pantograph for both the density of the quilting and for the wonderful movement it brings to a quilt.
Margaret’s Tulips
What a fun and happy quilt! It was quilted with the pantograph ground cover. Margaret used fabrics from her stash to piece this quilt and like so many of us, she told me it didn’t make much of a dent in her stash.
Lucille’s Quilt
Lucille began this quilt for her Granddaughter it was originally meant to be smaller however as the last couple of years curtailed travel she decided to make the quilt larger.
It was a pleasure to quilt this pretty quilt with the sea turtle backing. I used the pantograph called Waterworld. It gives such great movement to a quilt.
Kathy’s Quilt
Kathy’s Exploding Heart quilt was so much fun to work on. Her fabric choices included some really whimsical prints …My favourite being the avocados. Green has never been a colour that I have gravitated towards but lately it has been drawing me in.
I am often asked to choose the quilting design and after some thought I felt that spirals would add to the fun of this quilt. I love the movement that they add.
And last but not least! Her finished quilt that was a gift for her sister whom she told me absolutely loves her quilt.
Anne’s Quilt
I am always drawn to blue and white quilts and this one was definitely a pleasure to quilt.
Anne chose the pantograph called Ripple it was a perfect choice. I love the movement the quilting adds.
Elizabeth’s Quilt
Elizabeth told me that she was inspired by a quilt that she saw while visiting a family member. Sometimes it’s just like that, we see a quilt, admire it and is stays with us.
This causes many a quilter to start collecting fabrics particularly when the quilt was scrappy! This quilt finished as a large queen. Her rules were white on whites with various blues and reds from depression era fabrics.
One word of advice when piecing such a quilt is to stay stitch as you go. What I mean by that is that when you have so many seams esp on your edges that if you stitch 1/8” from the edge it prevents seams from popping open either from handling or being loaded onto a Longarm frame.
I often will stay stitch a quilt for my customers if they haven’t. It makes loading and quilting much easier.
The backing really suits the front though working with it wasn’t always easy on my eyes.
