Wool Quilt - Hand Appliqued

This is a wonderful hand appliqued wool quilt made by a customer Cindy.  I think it was a class project held at "Out of Hand", a unique quilt store here in Calgary.  This beauty was done all in hand dyed wools and is an absolutely gorgeous piece of art.

I used wool batting to show more definition and Invisifil thread by Wonderfil. The quilting was full custom, all freehand with a bit of ruler work.

Traditional Sampler Quilt - "Star Daze"

This is a lovely sampler quilt from a fairly new customer and she called it  "Star Daze". I did full custom quilting on this traditional sampler using mainly templates, rulers and free hand quilting. The border was a new treatment I had never tried before and it is using straight lines set at right angels. Please note - if you have any questions about this or any of the quilts I've featured here please do not hesitate to contact me at crazycreekcreations@shaw.ca.

Bear's Paw - Customer Quilt

Just finished up this lovely Bear's Paw quilt made by my friend and customer Tammy.  I used a pantograph called " Come Dance with Me" by Irene Steele,  100% cotton batting and Mirage variegated thread by Wonderfil.  This quilt is made as a gift for Tammy's Dad.

Customer Kaliedoscope - Free Hand Quilting

This beauty was pieced by a lovely lady in my quilting guild, She did a wonderful job and if I remember correctly it is a gift for one of her children - or grandchildren. I did an allover freehand leaf "meandering with attitude". As usual I used Mirage thread by "Wonderfil" top and bobbin. The third photo down is of the pieced back which is the fabric used to make the Kaliedoscope blocks. ( For a closer look please click directly on the photo.)

"Elegance" - now complete!

"Elegance" is now complete.  What a beautiful quilt to work on - hopefully the client will be happy with the outcome.  Full custom with a lot of freehand feathers, templates and ruler work.  Invisifil thread by Wonderfil.  (Click on the photo for a closer look.)

Elegance - Full Custom - (A Peek)

This is a beautiful customer quilt called "Elegance" - it was a block of the month at "Along Came Quilting" one of our local quilt stores a year or so ago.  I am doing a "full custom" on it with mostly each block reading something different with a lot of feathers and ruler work.  I hope to have it ready to turn to do the 3 remaining borders this weekend and have it finished within a week or so.

Golden Threads

Golden Threads is now finished and waiting for the fabric to arrive at the studio so I can go ahead and put the binding on.  This quilt was made by my friend Max and will be on display at Heritage Park in May, 2011.  It was full custom quilting using Invisifil thread by Wonderfil.
