Dancing and a Quilt

Having a couple of granddaughters who are enjoying dance classes this recent customer quilt is a little more than inspiring. Time will tell.

We chose the pantograph two of hearts, which has been a very popular choice recently. The hearts really convey the love the maker Mom has for her dancing daughter.

The pretty pink fireside backing is a perfect match and has made this quilt perfect for snuggling as our temperatures continue to dip below freezing.

This quilt is trimmed and ready for binding.

Forest Floor Quilt

I spent some time playing in the leaves with our 4 year old granddaughter yesterday.

We have 3 maple trees in the front yard that supplied several leaves in different colours for a fun project…that we made by sealing the leaves between two sheets of wax paper.

Sadly I forgot to take a picture of the project or endeavour. I do however recommend the project if you have little ones, hanging the project on a window the leaves truly glow in the daylight.

Back to quilting… I chose the pantograph Forest Floor for this recent quilt. The leaves in this design have such a beautiful flow and is a fun design to guide along a quilt.

All of my quilting is hand guided and I love working with my machine and the beautiful results that I can achieve with my APQS Millennium Longarm.

I always offer Hobbs 80/20 quilt batting that I carry on the roll for my customers… as I find it provides such a lovely loft and feel in finished quilts. I also quilt with other battings and often customers will provide their own and I am happy to quilt with almost all battings that have come my way.

I do like to have batting on the roll available, first of all because I do my best to source the best price and then am able to share that with my customers and also because I can cut just the right amount from the roll for each quilt with very little waste. At this time I am charging $15. a yard for Hobbs 80/20 I calculate the customer price by how much is used for the quilt.

I love this flannel backing and how beautifully the stitching shows up.
