Mary made this set of cute matching baby quilts. The feature fabric has exotic animals, and we both thought of faraway countries and sunshine and picked the pantograph “Sun Scallops” to finish Mary’s projects.

Kathy made this Moose quilt as a gift for a friend. Have you ever wondered what to do with a panel, how to make it more interesting without losing the overall image? By cutting up the moose panel into squares and then putting the squares back together as attic window blocks Kathy created a wonderful illusion of scenery outside a window. “Deer in the Woods” which has not only deer but also a bear and a moose and trees was the perfect quilting design for Kathy’s quilt.

Well, last week turned out to be a bit wild with the flooding and mudslides in Southern BC, and I didn’t find the time to write another post. While we were not affected by the water directly, we couldn’t get out of Chilliwack for a few days because all the roads were closed, and I had to postpone an urgent medical appointment in Abbotsford until we finally made it there driving the Lougheed Highway on Friday.

Another week, another chance, and I am feeling much calmer now, so back to our regularly scheduled program. I am way behind in posting pictures, all of these I am posting right now were actually quilted a year ago. This is the next of Sharon’s quilts. After her first one was such a success, she set out to make quilts for her family for Christmas and probably broke a record in speed sewing. For this lovely blue and white quilt she chose “Melange” as the quilting design.

Darlene is the “Bargello Queen” among my customers, and whenever she ventures out of her Bargello comfort zone, she comes up with another amazing quilt like this one. Isn’t it just fabulous? This modern quilt needed a modern quilting pattern, and all those circles were asking for something not too curvy. “Ripples on Point” with its soft, wavy lines creates a great secondary pattern of squares on point and was just perfect for Darlene’s project.

The next of Sharon’s projects was this lovely on-point log cabin variation quilt. It made me think of looking out of the window, watching an early morning sunrise, and “Sun Scallops” was the perfect quilting design to make it all come together.

This is already the second City Sampler that Ginger made and I quilted for her. The first one was a few years ago and can be found here. This one has different colours and also a different layout. We still thought the very geometric blocks needed some curves and went with the modern pattern “Champagne Bubbles” this time.
