Christmas Quilts

Some beautiful Christmas quilts coming in and going out of the studio.  These are a few.  Awesome work ladies and always nice to see what the gals are doing with those gorgeous Christmas fabrics.

Can you see the balloons? Freehand Balloons

This is another quilt from awesome customer Elizabeth.  There are so many adorable fabrics out there now and a number of my customers are picking up the assortment packs and making very nice quilts - soooo cute.  I don't get to the fabric stores very often anymore so it's nice to see all the yummy fabrics and what the ladies are doing with them. The designers are doing such a wonderful job coordinating their fabric lines don't you think?

This is a freehand design - swirls with balloons (or bubbles if you prefer).  The batting is Warm/Natural and the thread is Mirage variegated by Wonderfil.

New Customer - Margie from New Brunswick

This is a lovely quilt made by a new customer from New Brunswick, Margie.  It's a bit of a long story how I ended up quilting a quilt from so far away but it arrived and I quickly went to work.  Margie made this beauty as a wedding gift for her niece here in Calgary - how lucky is that gal and her new husband?  Most of the time only other quilters can appreciate the work that goes into a large wonderful  quilt like this (88" x 98") - there are exceptions to the rule of course.

I did a freehand leaf design using Mirage variegated thread by Wonderfil and W/N 80/20 batting.  I also put the binding on using a great gold stripe fabric cut on the bias - I think it pulled everything together well, don't you?
