Quilt Designer Lisa R - Modern Flare

My lovely customer/friend Lisa R is well on her way to becoming an awesome quilt designer.  Lisa loves to design her own patterns  and shows no inhabitions what so ever (oh how I envy the young).  This, resulting in some great one of a kind quilts.  In my eyes this beauty has a very modern flare and is spot on with all the other modern quilts coming on stream.

This latest one Lisa compiled over the summer and brought it in to be quilted over the holidays.  Lisa knew exactly how she wanted it quilted and chose swirls to compliment the various sized appliqued circles Variegated cotton thread was used as well as Hobbs 80/20 batting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Citrus Star by Lisa K

This lovely cheery quilt was brought in by Lisa K.  Love love love the pattern, colors and fabric Lisa used on this quilt.  The quilting is an allover freehand soft swirl, the thread was a lime green poly blend and the batting was a Hobbs 80/20 blend.

 

 

Special Quilt for a Special Grandson/Son

Sheila, a new customer and her daughter Jennel made this very special quilt to be waiting for her grandson's arrival when he returns from his LDS mission in the spring.  What a very special gift - awesome job ladies.  Although Sheila has not made many quilts I think we will be seeing more from her to come as when she picked this one up she mentioned she was already working on another. 

We chose a freehand allover double swirl on this quilt mainly because of the masculine nature.  A variegated cotton thread Tutti by Wonderfil was a perfect match with Hobbs 80/20 batting giving the perfect loft. Sheila and Jennel used lovely blue minky backing to make this quilt warm and cuddly.

 

 

 

Barb's Peach/Black Quilt



Barb brings in some absolutely beautiful quilts.  The fabric and color combinations are  "spot on". If I wrote this down correctly this latest one is called "Antiqued" by Prairie Quilt Merchantile.

Because of the extensive use and variety of fabrics on this quilt Barb chose an allover freehand swirl design for the quilting.  She picked a lovely black to light grey variegated thread Mirage by Wonderfil.

 

 

 

Karen's Beautiful Log Cabin

This is a first time customer Karen who made this beautiful log cabin in these awesome fall colors.  The fabric spoke leaves and swirls and I'm happy to say Karen was thrilled with the outcome.

The quilting was freehand leaves and swirls using Tutti 100% cotton thread by Wonderfil and the batting was Hobbs 80/20.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Elaine's Jelly Roll Quilt

I've noticed a number of these Jelly Roll quilts coming in lately.  Hats off to the fabric designers and the companies putting these gorgeous fabrics together - making it a joy to put a beautiful quilt like Elaine's together without agonizing too much over fabric choices.

The quilting is freehand leaves/swirls, etc.  The batting used is Legacy 70/30 recycled and the thread a yummy 100% cotton variegated - Tutti by Wonderfil.

 

Elegant Christmas quilt by JoAnn

This elegant quilt came from a friend and guild member JoAnn.  The fabric is absolutely scrumptious and the metalics make it oh so classy. JoAnn made this quilt for her daughter and husband who live just outside of Calgary.

I did an allover freehand swirl with snowflakes using a gorgeous variegated thread (Mirage) by Wonderfil.
