Needs more practice! Angela Walter's Design

I really liked this design by Angela Walters and wanted to give it a try.  When I first saw it I thought it would be great for masculine quilts and I'm always on the look out for something suitable for men's quilts.

This top was made for Victoria Quilts by a very giving person and quilted using my rendition of Angela's design.  I really think with a bit more practice this would fit in very well into my repertoire of designs.

 

Tripalong by Julie

I know from speaking with customers that this pattern has been a very popular one this past while.  Julie said she had a lot of fun making this very cool quilt using some of her scraps (a girl after my own heart). LOL

The quilting is freehand double swirls, Hobbs 80/20 batting and lovely variegated thread by
Wonderfil.

 

 

"All Fenced In" by Lori

Lori is a first time customer and just starting out quilting.  This lovely quilt is one of her first quilts and she mentioned the name is "All Fenced In".  Lori did an awesome job on this quilt and I understand she is already working on another project. So wonderful to see these young women taking up the art of quilting - way to go ladies!

The quilting on this beauty is freehand daisy/swirls/funky hearts.  Lori gave me free reign with the design so I just went all out and had a lot of fun.  The batting is Hobbs 80/20 and the thread is a yummy lime green variegated - Tutti by Wonderfil.

 

 

 

 

God's Beautiful Creation

Michele brought me this lovely wall quilt showing a number of God's beautiful creations.  I'm not sure where Michele will hang this quilt - maybe in the Lodge, maybe it's a gift - not sure!

The quilting is freehand swirls in the background with custom stitching in the ditch around the animal blocks and the animals themselves.  I tried to add some definition to the beautiful creatures as well as the foliage behind them - aren't they amazing. 

 

Fall Applique Quilt by Cari

This lovely quilt was brought in by first time customer Cari.  Cari wasn't sure how she wanted the quilting but did mention she wanted veins in the maple leaves.  A combination of freehand and custom quilting was used to complete this stunning quilt.

The freehand swirls were done using a cream colored thread for the background fill and a gorgeous variegated thread - Mirage by Wonderfil for the veins in the maple leaves giving them a lovely 3 dimentional look.

 

Doreen - Starting her quilting journey!

These two lovely quilts were made by new customer Doreen.  Doreen is just starting out on her journey of quilting - didn't she do a great job!    Just from speaking to Doreen I think she is already hooked and I know she is already working on more projects. Great work Doreen!

The quilting is freehand double swirls, variegated thread - Tutti by Wonderfil and Hobbs 80/20 batting on both of them.

 

Scrappy Stars & Funky Hearts

No I did not piece this quilt - Sheila did.  Most of my customers and friends know I love playing with my scraps and try to turn one or two scrappy quilts out each year.  There is one on the go at present but is still a while away from completion. Stay tunned.

This very large scrappy quilt was made by customer and guild member Sheila.  I think it may be a toss up between my friend Maxine and Sheila as to who turns out more quilts.  They sure are busy ladies and both do a wonderful job. 

The quilting is freehand funky hearts and the thread it a variegated 100% cotton - Tutti by Wonderfil.
