Abbey Gate and more

Marlene made this stunning quilt from her fabric stash.  The pattern is a Bonnie Hunter one called Abbey Gate.  You really have to love making HSTs to tackle this one!

Marlene selected the Sweet Pea pantograph which really compliments the pretty little prints in so many of the red and cream fabrics.

Marlene kept digging into her scrap stash and put together this 64 patch quilt.  All those squares finish at 1"!

The popcorn pantograph was a lovely way to finish this one.

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.

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!

Scrambled Eggs

Reneta made this adorable chicken quilt.  The pattern is called Scrambled Eggs and is by Art East Quilting Company.

The pattern cover shows a blue background which is lovely, but there is something about this straw coloured background Grunge fabric that just speaks to me.

Reneta chose the Popcorn pantograph which is an oldie but a goodie.  A straw coloured thread finished things off perfectly.

Knitted for Ewe

This darling pattern is one of the new releases from Art East Quilt Company and is called Knitted for Ewe.  It was made by Reneta as she once again acted as one of the pattern testers.

Reneta went for an '80's vibe with her color palette.  I love the minty green background fabric and the funs colours she pulled for the sweater from the print.

I immediately had the idea of the popcorn pantograph and Reneta was totally onboard.  I love how the grey thread looked likes wool on the black sheep.

This quilt made me smile for the whole time that is was in my studio.  Do I need to make one for myself?

 

Patrice's String Quilt and 2 more

 

Patrice brought three quilts that she made to donate to her favorite charity including this lovely string quilt.

Patrice requested the Quilter's Dream Puff batting for this one as the top was quite heavy because the the fabric foundation the blocks were pieced on.  She selected the Popcorn pantograph and we decided that this was the perfect opportunity to use a fun yellow thread.

The quilting show up great on the yellow and white striped sheet Patrice used for the backing.

The other two quilts were flannels in a Canadian theme.  We decided on the Calder pantograph for both of these.

 

Slideshow

The darling quilt was made by Janice for her granddaughter.  The pattern is called Slide Show by Atkinson Designs.  Janice put this lovely collection of fabrics together with the help of  Jennifer at Needle Crafts and Studio in Beausejour.

Janice selected the Popcorn pantograph and a pretty peach thread for the quilting.  We used the Quilter's Dream Puff batting for some nice loft.
