Both of these quilts were made by Dylena, and at least one of them, maybe even both (sorry, I can’t remember) where auctioned off for a charitable cause. As you all know I am more of an appliqué person, but aren’t those little pieced birds adorable? Both were quilted with “Taj Mahal” to add a minimal amount of texture, and as always the quilting is much more visible in the pictures than in reality.
Here is another cheerful little quilt made by Naida. I think the outer border fabric is a design by Me and My Sister, and I have always loved their fabric lines, exactly my kind of bright colours. The pattern “Champagne Bubble” finished the quilt nicely, picking up the circular design elements in the fabrics.
Naida made this lovely quilt as a gift for her brother. I love the colours and the truly Canadian feel! We chose the design “Fall Leaves” to finish Naida’s quilt, it has not only maple but also oak leaves, and I think it brings together both the autumn and Canadian aspects of the quilt.
Penny made this quilt as a gift, using a panel of Thomas & Friends. I don’t have a train-themed pattern but the “Celtic Scroll” design reminded me of wheels, and it finishes Penny’s quilt nicely.
This is another one of Donna’s works, a striking quilt in red, white and black with mostly cat-themed fabrics. We chose a simple scroll pattern for quilting, it is called “Whisper”, and it adds movement to all those straight lines and right angles.
This pretty quilt in fall colours was made by Donna. We didn’t have to think much about a quilting pattern for this one, “Fall Leaves” jumped out at us right away, and it finished Donna’s project nicely.
Mary made this quilt showcasing beautiful large floral prints. I love the bold, bright colours! We decided that the quilt didn’t need an elaborate quilting pattern and chose “Whisper” a basic swirly design.
Cynthia likes to do handwork, and she made this fabulous Pies & Tarts quilt (pattern by Sue Daley). She asked for light custom quilting, and this is the result. It’s a lovely quilt and a great scrapbuster for those who enjoy English Paper Piecing.
Red and white is such a striking combination, and I really like how Paige used these colours in her quilt, especially the positive/negative effect with the red stars in the centre and the white stars in the border. Just lovely. We chose the pattern “Whisper” for quilting, a basic swirly pattern that complements the straight lines and sharp angles of the pieced top.
Sandra made this lovely quilt in red, white and black, and she didn’t want any quilting over the embroidery in the four bird blocks. We decided on semi-custom, and I used the pantograph “Champagne Bubbles” for most of the quilt and then filled the background of the bird blocks with a smaller circular filler design.
