Nosegay Floral Customer Quilt

This is a lovely quilt I just finished up for a great lady, friend and customer - Joan.  I used a floral pantograph called "Flowering Pond" by Nancy Johnston. Legacy 80/20 batting and a beige polyester thread. This one was a bit of a challenge as the prairie points were already on the quilt so I had to be careful not to catch them when quilting. Fairly happy with the outcome.

Turning Twenty - Customer Quilt

Wow this was another huge quilt from a dear customer Lisa (98"x112").  I think she mentioned it's for a wedding gift for, if I remember correctly, a cousin.  This gal is a fairly new quilter and doing an amazing job.  I am so pleased when I see young people taking up the art of quilting.  I quilted it freehand "Meandering with Attitude" swirls,  using Warm & Natural batting and Wonderfil Mirage variegated thread (lots and lots of it). :0)

Watermelon Quilt

Hi Everyone - Yes I'm still here and slowly getting back to normal.  Hubby is now home from the hospital and doing well - thank you everyone for your kind messages.  I have been working in the studio and believe it or not I am a bit ahead of schedule.  We were hoping to get away to BC for a few days but hubby wasn't feeling up to it so I just kept on quilting. 

This is the latest project finished.  Isn't it the cutes quilt ever.  No it's not mine - a customer left it for me to do a freehand on - so "Meandering with Attitude" it was.  I think it is sooooo cute!

Le Jardin by Bunny Hill Designs

Lovely customer quilt just finished and picked up.  This lady did such an amazing job on the applique work in the quilt. All the 3 dimensional work made it so much fun to quilt. It was a challenge to try and decide what fill to do in which block.  The outside dark border has swags on it as well as bead board. All in all I think she was happy with the results.

Art Quilts by Carol Schmold

A few months back I was asked by a very talented art quilter out of Saskatchewan - Carol Schmold, to custom quilt 2 of her pieces.  Although I was a bit nervous because she was doing them for an exhibit she was having, I took on the challenge.  She has now sent me photos of these two beautiful art quilts to share with all of you. Carol has been having trouble with her website and as soon as I get word that it's up and running I'll post her site so you can all enjoy her other pieces of art.

The first one is called "Broken Ladders" and the second one is "Prairie Landscape Tapestry".

Beautiful Applique Quilt - Traditional Custom Quilting - More Photos

I have now completed this adorable customer applique quilt.  This quilt was perfect for some nice traditional custom quilting - so that's what's happened in the studio.

Custom Irish Chain

I finished up this custom Irish Chain this past weekend.  Can't get any good photos of the whole quilt or of the back. Too bad because I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. The feathers go all around the border with the feather wreaths in the center and cross hatching around the wreaths. I really enjoyed doing this, sure hope the customer likes it.
