T-Shirt Quilt - Combined Effort

I was asked by a customer to make a t-shirt quilt for a friends special birthday.  Because of time constraints I asked by friend Max to help out with the piecing of the top and as the true friend she is, she agreed to help out.  Max did an awesome job piecing the t-shirt blocks and was done in record time. "Thanks friend".   I did the quilting and Max finished it off with the machine binding. The fabric was the customer's choice as well as was the flannel backing.  I did a pantograph called Palm Beach, used W/Natural batting and a variegated 100% cotton thread by Wonderfil.

Max's Rooster Quilt - "How Fun"

This is another fun creation embroidered and pieced by my friend Max.  She loves her embroidery machine - which I might add "she's almost worn out".  The embroidered blocks were custom quilted with a number of different fill stitches, the inside of the rooster panels were outlined to give the blocks texture and the border has a freeehand design emulating the rooster cones.  

Fan Custom Quilt - "Finished"

I've now finished this customer fan quilt.  It's full custom quilting with a lot of cross hatching, leaf type feathers and swags and beadboard in the borders . 

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.)
