Little Owl & More

I have been so busy quilting that I haven't kept up with sharing photos.  Time to change that and share 3 lovely little quilts today.  First up is a joint baby gift made by Shalane with support from Reneta and Amy.  The pattern is called Little Owl by Bound Co.

The group quickly agreed on the Gingersnap pantograph to finish off this darling project.

Next up is a little quilt Reneta put together with the leftover from her Patchwork Swoon Quilt.  Reneta brought the leftover blocks and fabrics to our retreat and popped them up on the design wall.  We moved things around and got opinions from the group and ended up with the sweet little quilt .

Reneta selected the Fanciful Fliers pantograph to the perfect finish.

Joanne brought this lovely lap quilt.  The pattern is a called Cabin Fever.  

We used the Maple Syrup pantograph with shows up so nicely on the solid backing.

 

Smoke and Rust Home Quarter

Phyl made the beautiful verstion of the Home Quarter pattern by Highway 10 Designs.  The fabric collection she used is from Lella Boutique for Moda called Smoke and Rust.

Phyl selected the Arrowful pantograph and a lovely shiny copper colored thread for the quilting.  I love the movement that the pantograph has.

 

This quilt could live quite happily with my oak bedroom furniture!

 

Cranberry Chutney

Wendy made this lovely batik quilt using a pretty blend of batiks from her stash.  The intended recipient loves the color coral and Wendy did her best to find some coral pieces to include.  The pattern is called Cranberry Chutney by Madison Cottage Design

Wendy selected the Bora Bora pantograph and it looks lovely on the front and the cream Fireside backing.

 

Patchwork Barn

I really enjoyed adding some custom quilting to this pretty blue and white quilt that Sharon made.  The patten is from Laundry Basket quilts and is called Patchwork Barn.

Sharon requested quilting around the applique and a design that flowed across the patchwork blocks.  I outlined the applique and filled the background with branching curls.  I added feathers to the rows of blacks and filled the remaining sashing and border strips with one of two curl designs.

The quilting looked lovely on the soft blue backing fabric as well.

 

Modern Thinking

Wendy made this gorgeous batik quilt using a pattern called Modern Thinking from Blue Underground Studios.  Wendy just pulled all these fabrics together from her stash, as like me she has a soft spot for batiks.

Wendy selected the Windswept pantograph and a lovely deep turquoise Magnifico thread called Lilly Pond #2136.  I love the sheen of the Magnifico thread against the waxy batiks.

And to finish it off Wendy supplied a beautiful turquoise Fireside backing that shows off the quilting so well.

 

 

Camo Lug Nuts

 

Gay made this fabulous version of the Highway 10 Designs Lug Nuts quilt for her son.  I like to refer to this quilt as "elegant camo"  as Gay used a mix of batiks, cottons and some real tree camouflage prints to make a unique quilt.

Gay selected the Mimosa pantograph which seems to blend into the prints just perfectly.

My husband is always a good sport when I need a second pair of hands to get some quilt photos.  He was motivated to try out a camo shot and it was kind of fun. The behind the scenes shot makes me wonder if we have lost our minds!

 

Home Quarter - City Lights

 

Loraine made this King Size version of the Home Quarter pattern from Highway 10 Designs.  The fabric collection that she used is call City Lights from Northcott.  The colour palette is just so pleasing.

Loraine selected a pantograph that I just added to my collection called Cool Beans.

With Fireside backing fabric this quilt is extra cozy and quite heavy because of its size!
