A Robot Quilt

Elizabeth Hartman has many fun children’s quilt patterns and this one is definitely a winner.

Karen pieced it for her 2 year old grandson and it’s sure to be part of many fun adventures, with that in mind I chose the pantograph Waterworld not only for its playfulness but also its density will add durability to withstand hopefully years of use!

The backing, is another fun robot print!

This quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up.

Colour and Play and Quilting

How much fun is this quilt!
As a quilt maker myself I am almost always drawn primarily to scrappier quilts, the more fabrics the better! I also love the improv piecing! When this quilt first arrived and was added to my queue it was a challenge not to drop everything and just work on it! I did however make it wait its turn.

The quilting design New Wave that was chosen worked perfectly adding an extra layer of playfulness and fun!

As if that wasn’t enough fun and excitement in a quilt, the backing added even more delight with both colour and the tumbling blocks!

A Graduation Quilt

I had the pleasure of working on a very special quilt that created by my customer with so much love for her graduating Granddaughter.

The quilt top includes her favourite colours as well as books due to her love of reading, two of the blocks have her initials pieced. The backing was chosen for her love of flowers.

I chose the pantograph Garden Frills. I love the density of this design for a quilt that will follow the graduate to University in the fall and will hopefully be well used! The quilting softens the straight line piecing on the top and plays so beautifully with the backing fabric.

I was given the task of both choosing the fabric for and completing the binding for the quilt. With so much happening visually on both top and back I chose a complimenting dark green solid for the binding.

Her quilt was ready for gifting when it was picked up.

A Woven Star Quilt

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.

Stepping Stones

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 Yard Moose

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.

Benjamin’s Quilt

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.

The Reading Quilt

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.

McKenna Ryan Quilt…

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.

A Farmhouse Quilt

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.
