Modern Log Cabin

Joni made this modern take on a Log Cabin quilt as a wedding gift.  The quilt was adapted from a pattern in the Modern Quilt Bible book by Elizabeth Betts.

Joni requested a music themed pantograph as it would suit the bride and groom, so Musica was the perfect choice.

She added a woodsy backing fabric for the outdoorsy couple.

Stack and Flip

Donna made this pretty quilt using a Kaffe Fassett Design roll in the Lake colourway.  The pattern is called Stack and Flip from Missouri Star Quilt Co.

Donna selected a new pantograph to my collection called Cinnamon Swirl.  This was the first time I stitched it out and I love the texture that it provided.

The almost periwinkle colored Fireside backing was the perfect match to the top and showed off the quilting beautifully.

Curved Log Cabin

Julie brought this pretty Curved Log Cabin quilt that she made for her granddaughter.  So pretty in pink!

Julie chose the the Pieces of My Heart pantograph which adds a lovely feminine touch to the whole thing.  It shows up so nicely on the plainer backing fabric.

 

Dignity Quilt

This stunning quilt was brought to me by Susan. This quilt will be used as a Dignity quilt at a local care home that her church supports. What is a Dignity quilt?  The purpose of a Dignity quilt is to be used at the care home when someone dies, and there is a public exit from the building in front of other residents and staff.  Instead of seeing a body bag, the stretcher is covered with the quilt.  For the design of this quilt, Susan was inspired by a quilt that was made by the Crocus Quilters in Dauphin, MB that I used to belong to.  You can read all about that quilt and the inspiration behind it here.

Susan opted for the Bora Bora pantograph, which reminds me of wind blowing across the landscape - a perfect choice!

This quilt was made entirely out of batiks, and all the different patterns and textures just add depth to the quilt.  I think the final product is absolutely gorgeous.

 

Fab-tastic

Susan brought this quilt with a bold and bright color palette.  The pattern is called Fab-tastic by Marlous Designs.

Susan chose the Popcorn pantograph and I used a bright lime green Magnifico thread on top and a coordinating Bottom Line in the bobbin.  Go bold!

I really enjoy the variety of quilts that come through my studio.  I may never make a bold lime green quilt myself, but I did get to enjoy this one when it visited!
