Cute Coffee Quilt

My friend Max made this very cute quilt. The quilting was a pantograph called "Popcorn" by Jodi Beamish, Legacy batting and rayon thread by Wonderfil.

Pineapple from Mexico

This quilt has a cute story to it.  My friend Elizabeth received some fabric which her daughter brought back for her from a visit to Mexico a while back.  I recall Elizabeth agonizing over this fabric and what to make from it, as it was very bright and not really her so called "cup of tea".  Anyway, while picking up another quilt from my studio Elizabeth noticed a scrappy pineapple quilt I was working on and showed an interest.  I lent her my book and this is the wonderful quilt she came up with.  I think it's absolutely lovely and considering Elizabeth hasn't been quilting that long, she did a great great job piecing it.

This is an overall freehand design, using Hobbs 80/20 batting and a veriegated 100% cotton thread (Tutti) by Wonderfil.

Isabelle's Spring Beauty

This is a quilt from customer Isabelle which will be an amazing gift for her elderly aunt. The wonderful spring colors and beautiful floral motifs cryed out custom quilting.  A choice of lite custom for this lovely quilt, with all freehand quilting and no ruler work or outlining.

Large Bali Blocks

I just finished quilting 2 of these lovely quilts - both exactly the same.   A customer "Vange" received this gorgeous fabric from her daughter and neice who just came back from a trip to Bali.  Vange did a great job compiling these beautiful fabrics into a  wonderful quilt for each of the ladies.

These large quilts - 90" x 100", were quilted with an allover freehand design.  Warm & Natural batting was used as well as 100% cotton thread "Tutti" by Wonderfil.

"Harvest Home" - Going a long way from home!

This gorgeous quilt once finished will be traveling a long way, to Teslin, Yukon.

Made by Brenda from High River for her friend Jay who lives up in the Yukon and whom I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting.

Brenda and Jay, while Jay was visiting both fell in love with this quilt.  They each purchased the kit at the Quilting Bee shop in Olds, Alberta (one of Brenda's all time favorite hang outs). Jay knowing that Brenda was a more experienced quilter and seeing some of her previous projects commissioned her to compile this quilt for her.  Both Jay and Brenda found my site and saw some of my quilting, contacted me and below are photos of the finished quilt. Brenda did an awesome job piecing this large 100" x 100" bed quilt and I was happy with the quilting results.  I have no doubt Jay will be pleased.

Jay chose my freehand leaves for the quilting pattern - we used W/Natural batting and 100% cotton thread (Tutti) by Wonderfil.

Hawaiian Baby Quilt from "First Time Quilter - Natalie"

This is a lovely first quilt made by new customer Natalie.  Natalie had help from friend Lisa making this quilt for Nat's sister's new baby.  She was on a vacation in Hawaii when she picked up most of these adorable fabrics - I love love love the dolor combination and the backing is so cute. Great job ladies!

Natalie wanted swirls and stars for the quilting hence the quilting design.  Freehand quilting using 100% cotton batting and 100% cotton thread (Tutti) by Wonderfil.

Lovely Log Cabin by Lyn

A new customer Lyn made this beautiful log cabin quilt for her son. Lyn is a fairly new quilter but you'd never know it - she did an awesome job piecing this very large quilt. Lyn mentioned this was a class at "Rumplequiltskins" in Okotoks.  Great job Lyn!

I quilted it with an allover freehand spiky swirl design using W/N batting and 100% cotton variegated thread (Tutti) by Wonderfil.
