Memphis Blues

Corne brought this lovely beautiful batik quilt that she started as a Block of the Month a number of years ago.  The pattern is called Memphis Blues by Jerry Stube Designs.

Corne chose the Divine pantograph and a lovely purple Magnifico thread.  The backing was a beautiful Northcott wide back from the Stonhenge Ombre collection.

 

Garden Party

This beautiful quilt was made by Marlene.  The pattern is called Garden Party by Laura Heine.  The pattern is designed for fusible applique, but Marlene adapted it to be hand applique which she prefers.

Marlene will be the first to say that this isn't a typical colour palette for her work.  She treated herself to some Tilda fabric from Needle Craft and Studio in Beausejour and added a few pieces from her stash as well.

I always have to double check that Marlene wants me to stitch across the hand applique as I know some people would not approve!  Marlene was confident that an allover was the right choice for her.  The applique shapes were too large to leave unquilted, and the background would have required dense quilting to get into all the odd spaces.  The Divine pantograph that Marlene chose provided delicate quilting that didn't overpower, but held everything securely.

 

Lots to Share - Part 1!

I can't believe that it has been almost 2 months since I have shared any quilts!  I have been busy in the studio and out, so I am going to do my best to share more than 20 quilts before 2025 arrives.

A few years ago I quilted a lovely hexagon quilt for Shalane.  The quilt was a gift for her brother and sister-in-law and you can see it here.    This small hexagon quilt is for the couple's baby.  Shalane requested the same Gingersnap pantograph. 
 

Cindy made a whole lot of flying geese from a colorful ombre jelly roll to complete this top! 

Cindy chose the Popcorn pantograph which kind of looks like clouds in the sky with all of the geese.  Cindy opted to have my associate Marion add the binding, The ombre jellyroll strips in a variety of colors really add a charming finish to the quilt. 

Mary made this lovely quilt/wall hanging use a nativity themed panel and some borders.

The Divine pantograph was a nice finish that didn't detract from the images in the panel.

Susan made this music themed quilt with a really nice collection of music themed fabrics.

Originally we both thought maybe the Musica pantograph would be the right choice, but it seemed to compete with the prints and we both preferred the look of the Fascination pantograph instead.

All Boxed In

Darlene made this stunning quilt.  The pattern is called All Boxed In by Anything But Boring.  It features a beautiful collection of Kaffe Fassett fabrics.

The bold prints do a pretty good job of hiding the quilting but if you look closely you can see the Divine pantograph the Darlene chose.

Darlene added a beautiful multicolored  Northcott wide backing that complements the front really well.

Pink Trip Around the World

Ann made this pretty in pink Trip Around the World  variation quilt for her granddaughter.

Ann chose the Divine pantograph which really matches the design in many of the prints she used in the quilt and I think it adds a nice delicate touch.

Divine was a recent addition to my pantograph collection.  Here are the latest pantographs I have added.    I am always on the lookout for pattern that have nice even coverage but are not too dense as that is the preference of the majority of my clients.

 

Happy Stripes

Donna made this cheerful quilt out of a collection Kaffe Fassett fabrics.  The pattern is called Happy Stripes from Quilty Love.

Donna selected a new to my collection pantograph called Divine.  We used an electric lime coloured Magnifico thread.  The sunny yellow Cuddletex backing fabric was the perfect finishing touch for a happy quilt that just makes you smile.
