This stunning quilt made with rich looking metalic fabrics was made even more amazing with the use of left over fabrics from the top, pieced into a fantastic quilt backing.
I chose the quilting design Swirl of Thorns along with a Mocha coloured thread that plays so nicely with the high contrasting colours in the quilt. Swirls also add a fun dimension against angular piecing.
this quilt was trimmed and ready for binding when it was picked up.
Ellen’s quilt is a stunning example of Krista Moser’s pattern Fall Foliage! Her piecing was so exact and super fun to quilt for her.
I loved how beautiful it looked in my studio, but hanging in the show it was truly eye catching!!
I’ve added a few pictures below from my studio.
Cindy’s version of Krista Moser’s Crimson Christmas was a true treat to see, she quilted it herself. Her quilting is truly inspirational! Cindy also chaired the quilt show and has many times, she also has taught so many classes over the years and taught Crimson Christmas at the Circle of Friends Quilt Shop this year.
It was an amazing Quilt Show last weekend! It’s always fun to see all of the quilts and so many quilters at the shows.
Our city and area have so many talented quilters and it never ceases to amaze me how many different quilts there are!
Ana Paula Brasil is always a delight to spend time with! Her incredible talent of not only quilting but also her ability to teach and share her talents and Joy in the art is contagious!
Visitors were greeted a very fun quilt which was made in collaboration with Janette Dann another amazing local Artist! How fun to have a picture in front of it!
I am sharing a small sample of the fun!!
I had so much fun Quilting Maureen’s quilt for her, I am a scrap quilter myself and I loved this one! Some quilts are so hard to part with and this was truly one of them!
Evelyn’s version of a Bonnie Hunter Mystery was another one that was full of small pieces…another joy of mine as I love working with tiny pieces!
Karen is an increasingly talented artist and her quilt was a true show stopper with both piecing and her quilting that truly made the quilt! She tucked in all kinds of little surprises throughout the quilt…butterflies, dragonflies etc…all on her domestic sewing machine!
Gayle was beginning her quilt journey when I met her many years ago, her talents have continued to grow and her quilting is no exception! I was mesmerized by her domestic machine quilting!
Cathy’s quilt was so beautifully pieced and a true joy to quilt for her! I wish that my photography was better to truly capture her quilt!
Another quilt of Evelyn’s. She quilted this one herself. I love her colours, quilting and especially her border!!!
Cathy A. Had me quilt her sampler for her with the design Daisy Swirl. This was a quilt that APQS asked to feature on their IG after I posted it. It’s a wonderfully pieced quilt and was a lot of fun to work on!
The show was so well done and so full of inspiration!
I have long admired my friend Debs quilting and artistry. The quilts that she entered into this weekends quilt show, (put on by the Thunder Bay Quilt Guild) along with her demo on Improv piecing at the show were so inspiring!
I love her use of colour and her quilting. She quilts on her domestic machine.
Her backings are so much fun to see!!
This quilt is classic Deb! When I first saw it at a guild meeting I just knew it was hers and that she was at the meeting!
Of course I wanted to see the backing and an amazing quilter and artist and teacher as well founding member Jackie Black was there with white gloves to show me.
Last summer Deb enjoyed a 5 day retreat taught by Cindy Grisdela and the resulting quilt amazed me! I noticed Deb walking by
We were so excited to see each other and when she asked if I wanted to see the back of the quilt…well we had a pretty good giggle!
After restoring the quilt to its hanging position…we still dared to look at the back!
Carols version of the Arboretum Quilt from

Was next in line and planned to hang in the quilt show this weekend.
It was quilted using the pantograph Windswept with the thread colour Mocha. This is a colour that has a chameleon effect blending beautifully with all of the colours and in a thread weight that doesn’t dominate the quilt. The quilting design quietly gives the appearance of blowing wind.
Her quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up and was ready to be displayed in this weekends quilt show.
Quilting Spirals onto a very angular quilt like this one (called Stepping Stones by Judy Niemeyer) added an additional layer of visual interest to an already spectacular quilt!
Thread colour and weight is always an important consideration when planning. In this case I wasn’t wanting to distract from the piecing. By choosing a finer thread in a silver grey the thread stays in the background. There also is less contrast against the black sashing.
The quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up!

Yes it’s been awhile 😊 and with good reason. I will share that with you soon.
First things first to catch up on some quilting…
The Yard Moose was such a fun quilt to work on! We chose the pantograph Ground Cover… after all moose are often in the bush just peeking out…or maybe hiding.
How perfect is this backing fabric with splashes of colour matching the quilt top!
Jan’s quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up and it wasn’t long before she sent me this picture of her finished quilt.
Well, that’s not the name of the quilt…it’s just my hope and wish!
This super happy bright baby quilt was made using iron on animal appliqués….in Kaffe Fasset fabrics that she found on sale and bought 2 of each on a whim! She already had a great stash of solids to use for backgrounds along with a perfect sashing backing fabric.
We both thought of the Pantograph Bubbles which made a fun play on the bubbles in the print fabric.
Her quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up.
What a perfect quilt for a 3 year old grandson! The construction quilt!
The pantograph Waterworld was chosen for the quilting design by us as it offers a perfect density that should hold this quilt together well for what we hope many hours of play and snuggling.
The backing print full of loaders was a perfect choice for the quilt and the print was perfectly matched so that it’s hard to find the seam.
Her quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up!
This was a fun quilt to add my quilting and hand stitching to! I love the messages about reading which made me smile as I advanced each row!
We chose the quilting design Jitterbug with its playfulness adding more joy to a fun quilt!
The important message for us all in the center of the quilt.
The backing required piecing, which is always a complimentary service that I provide, which also includes matching the pattern whenever it is possible.
This quilt was also bound and ready for use at pick up. Yes I do hand stitch bindings for my customers.
