Celtic Solstice

Leslie brought this amazing quilt that has so many pieces! The pattern is called Celtic Solstice from Quitville's Bonnie Hunter.

Leslie chose the Knit 1 Purl 2 pantograph which has nice movement and it dense enough to catch all pieces with a quilting stitch.

Leslie opted for one of the Northcott wide backs that I keep on hand.  The colours in the Stonehenge back work really well with the front.

 

Low Volume Squares

Amy made this pretty quilt that highlights the many interesting low volume fabrics in her stash.  

Amy selected the Knit 1 Purl 2 pantograph which is very pretty and adds some nice movement to the quilt.

I enjoyed looking at all the interesting fabrics contained in each block.  So many little treasures.

 

Shalane's Home Quarter

I had the pleasure of quilting this pretty quilt for Shalane.  The pattern is Home Quarter by Highway 10 Designs.  It is a low stress pattern that uses fat quarter cuts of fabric.

 Shalane used the Open Road collection from Bonnie Christine for Art Gallery Fabrics.

Shalane selected the pretty "Knit 1 Purl 2" pantograph and looks pretty with a sage green thread and Quilter's Dream Blend batting.

If you have a Fat Quarter bundle waiting for a project you can purchase a PDF or Paper copy of the Home Quarter pattern of the Highway 10 Designs website.

Blue and White King

I think this lovely king size quilt could have happily stayed and lived on my queen size bed don't you?

This blue and white beauty was made by Karen as a surprise for a good friend of hers. Her friend decided to repaint her bedroom while the quilt was under construction, but luckily it still matches! Karen tossed in a little gold into the mix because her friend happens to be a Winnipeg Blue Bombers fan.

When Karen was making this quilt she texted, to ask just how big a quilt my machine could handle (as she would add borders accordingly.)  This one weighed in at 107" x 107" so it easily fit on my 12' frame.  If you are curious,  I can load a 120" wide piece of backing fabric.  Length isn't a problem - to date the record is 136"!

Karen chose the Knit 1 Purl 2 pantograph and white thread top and bottom.  I think the result is very pretty.

Hugs and Kisses

This darling quilt was made by Sherry.  She told me that she combined a few ideas that she had saved from different magazines over the years.

Sherry decided on a panto that was fairly new to my collection that I hadn't yet had the opportunity to stitch out.  It is called Knit 1 Purl 2, and I really love how it looks on the quilt. 

I used a beautiful grayed purple So Fine thread #502 called Milan Mauve.  It blended nicely on the grey border and didn't detract from the purple applique.

Such a sweet little quilt!
