This sweet little baby quilt was made by Lisa. The back is cozy Fireside, and it shows the quilting nicely. The cheerful floral pattern is called “Flowers Rise Again”.
Here is another quilt made by Angela of Cozy Cottons Quilting. She had all these beautiful rose fabrics, almost too pretty to cut into pieces, and showcased them using this layout. I have a rose quilting pattern but we thought that would be too much, and Angela picked a leaf pattern called “Ground Cover” instead.
Let’s do a bit of Christmas in July with this beautiful quilt made by Angela of Cozy Cotton Quilting. I quilted it with the design “Holly Berries” which looks really nice on the white background and matches some of the Christmas fabrics she used.
Pat made this quilt using a variety of rose fabrics. Her backings are usually a work of art too, she pieces them using leftover fabrics turning them into a second quilt top. It is pretty much impossible to center a quilt on a longarm machine in both directions because the backing is rolled up, and the top ends up where it ends up. Pat knows this and doesn’t care if it is perfectly centered or not. I quilted it with the pattern “Rose Garden”.
“Trip Around The World” is such a classic and timeless pattern, and it always looks different depending on the fabrics in the quilt. This version was made by Ruth, and I quilted it with a simple pantograph called “Fleur de Swirl”.
“Fleur” is a quilt pattern by Susan Smith that has a little bit of everything… hexagons, appliqué, patchwork. Cynthia loves stitching by hand, and this is her beautiful version of the quilt.
Have you ever made a Bargello quilt? I haven’t and I am not sure if I want to, but I certainly enjoy looking at them. This one was made by Peggy, and she chose the modern pantograph “Taj Mahal” to finish her project. I think this pattern works especially well with Bargello quilts.
Mary made this small quilt with eight-pointed stars as a gift for a friend. I had fun filling all the negative space between the stars, it was a fast and satisfying project to work on.
This cute quilt was also made by Maureen. Aren’t the animal panels just adorable? I quilted it with a pattern called “Sun Scallops”, just right for a summer safari.
Happy Canada Day! It seems it took forever this year for summer to arrive. With this crazy weather we have had, everyone in my gardening group is complaining about what went wrong for them this year, and I could also tell quite a few stories like that but have decided to instead talk about what worked well. The peas loved the cool weather, and I ended up with a wall of peas, higher than ever before. I have started picking the pods, and I will be very busy for the next few days blanching and freezing peas. The potatoes were also fine with the weather, the first variety has started flowering. And I managed to harvest some broccoli before it bolted. The head were fairly small but at least I caught them in time and was not greeted one morning by a field of yellow flowers, as so many others experienced this year.
And in the spirit of gardening, our bunny friend is planting seeds this month. The pieces for the seeds are big enough for fusible appliqué but you can always choose to embroider French knots or maybe use some beads or other embellishments instead. The block will be available for free download until the end of the month and move to the pattern store when the August block is released.
EDIT: The month of free download is over, and the block has moved to the pattern store where it is now available for purchase. If you just need the finishing instructions, they are still available for free download.
