Professional Longarm Quilting Services
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.
So after being immersed in the mesmerizing exhibit of quilts at the Iowa State Quilt Museum…I entered Piece Works Quilt Shop. Oh My!!!
As soon as I opened the door I was amazed at what I saw…
Continuing to walk deeper into this amazing shop…
It is brimming full of fun and inspiration, and then…
In the back of the shop was the owner Joyce Franklin who greeted us with a smile and I instantly knew she was my kind of artist!
As if I wasn’t already brimming full of inspiration…she asked if I would like to see her latest endeavours which of course I did!
And then…
She has been painting fabric and shared that story with me…her piecing and her quilting!!
I am formulating in my mind how I will return to this little town during their quilting festival, hopefully sooner than later!
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.

What a fun pleasure to quilt my customers quilt made with the pattern Said the Night Wind by McKenna Ryan!
I absolutely adore this designers work especially all of the amazing details. My customer carefully stitched around each appliqué and added gold glitz to the star!
I chose the quilting design, Star Swirl, it is a fun design that adds soft swirls and movement to this wonderful winter scene.
I love that Father Christmas is cross country skiing!
Of course her quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up!
I do love the North, no I am not crazy about being outside in bone chilling -40C especially when the wind is blowing…that to me is perfect make a pot of soup and stay in and quilt weather.
There is something so magical though watching the snow fall and breathing in fresh crisp air!
My view from the Longarm room this morning…it didn’t capture the snow-falling though.
I am so appreciative of all of my customers to entrust their quilts to me to be completed. I have many quilters whom I have been quilting for many years!
This customer has relocated to Manitoba and we have still found ways to work together!
We chose the quilting design Star-swirl for this King sized quilt. It measured 114” square which I was able to easily accommodate on my 12 foot frame! Have I mentioned how much I love my APQS Millennium before?
The backing is a perfect match to the pink in the batik fabric that is in the top and looks amazing together in person.
We had an extremely cold week here and I was grateful to have to spend some of my time hand stitching the binding on this quilt!
So not only was this quilt trimmed and ready for binding it was completely finished and ready for gifting with plenty of time to spare before the wedding is taking place.

When this quilt was picked up, my customer exclaimed how much the quilting makes the quilt! It truly does bring the elements together.
Choosing the pantograph Rhapsody played on the florals in this quilt along with having curves and swirls against the straight lines in the piecing added a softness to the appearance of the quilt.
I love the elegance of this quilt, that really showcases some of the beautiful floral prints that can accumulate in our stashes over time. Of course you can use any prints to crest a similar quilt.
Her quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up. Which is always a complimentary service that I offer and is never refused.
