Liane & Shannon

This post is all in the family.  Lianne and her daughter Shannon brought some lovely quilts this summer.  Lianne made the first two quilts for her brother and sister-in-law.   Lianne used the Easy Street pattern from the Fabric Cafe for this woodsy one.  

Liane chose the Terrace pantograph and added a lovely backing with fall leaves.

This pretty quilt was again a pattern from the Fabric Cafe called Rail Fence.

Liane chose the London Fog pantograph which added some nice movement.

Shannon made this fun beachy/camping quilt.  The Bora Bora pantograph added a perfect sea breeze to finish it off.

Butter Tarts in Olive You

This wonderful quilt was made as a store sample by Megan for Keystone Modern Creative.  The pattern is the last release from Highway 10 Designs and is called Butter Tarts.  This is a great Fat Quarter friendly pattern that goes together with no HSTs!

The fabric collection used in this quilt is called Olive You by Zen Chic for Moda.  Kits are still available from Keystone Modern Creative.

Megan chose the Terrace Pantograph and I think it looks amazing on the rich green cuddle backing.

You can find paper or pdf versions of the quilt pattern on our website www.highway10designs.com.

More Catching Up!

 Ready to see some more wonderful quilts now that I have resurfaced after my summer break?

First up in this fantastic Pineapple quilt made by Anne.  The bright batiks were a great choice for this quilt.

Anne and her niece chose the Terrace pantograph.  The beautiful turquoise backing was the perfect compliment to the front.

Monica made this King size quilt - it is hard to get a sense of the size from a photo but it was 110' x 110"  There are so many interesting fabrics that you get to appreciate in the simple layout.  The Calder pantograph added just the right amount of quilting.

Monica opted to have her quilt bound by my associate Marion  so it was ready to enjoy on her bed when it arrived home.

I'm not sure how many of the Grinch quilts that Becky has made to date - at least 4?  Her friends and colleagues keep wanting one for themselves and she keeps finding more panels to make it happen.  Becky loves the Snow Winds pantograph to finish these and I am happy to oblige!

Val made this t-shirt quilt for a family friend.  She did a great job of making all the different sized logos work into a unified and organized piece.

The Raindrops pantograph added a simple quilting pattern that allowed the t-shirts to remain the star of the show.

Patrice made two quilts with fabrics from the Imperial Garden collection from a few years back.  We used the Clamflower pantograph and a shiny grey thread that read very similar to metallic silver in the fabrics.

Patrice didn't let any of the fabric go to waste and pieced a back for one of the quilts.

Last but not least is this Homestead Star pattern made by Megan.  The kit is still available from Keystone Modern Creative when I checked earlier today.  Megan asked for turquoise thread and selected the Sweet Pea pantograph.  I really like the print on the backing fabric.

Emerald Forest

Wendy made this great batik quilt for a wedding present. The pattern is called Emerald Forest from the book "Inspired by Bali" by Suzanne Mcneill.

Wendy selected the Terrace pantograph which seems to fit perfectly with the tropical colour palette and the print in the border fabric.

Wendy utilized a couple of complimentary pieces of Fireside on the back for some added interest.   Fireside always shows off the quilting design so well.

Deer Panel

Gay made this quilt for her son to use at his cabin.  The size request increased as the quilt was in progress, so Gay adapted and made this generous queen size.

Gay selected the Terrace pantograph which adds to the fall leaves in the centre panel.

And a cozy brown flannel on the back makes for a hefty quilt!  I'm sure your son will love it Gay!

Pivot

Amy made this beautiful nature inspired quilt for some friends.  The pattern is called Pivot from Modern Handcraft.  

Amy used a wonderful mix of solids, wovens, linen and a print to build this quilt top.  She chose the Terrace pantograph to keep with the theme.

I love the rich green Northcott Canvas fabric that she put on the back.

 

Maple Leaves

This lovely fall quilt was made by Olga.  The maple leaves are raw edge applique with a lovely detail of hand embroidered veins.  The wide variety of fabrics that she included was really wonderful to see.

Olga selected the Terrace pantograph which is a nice open leaf design as she prefers light quilting.
