Urban Jungle
This colourful modern quilt was made by Lynnette. What a great setting to showcase some pretty fabrics, and I especially like how the black sashing brings out the bright colours even more. I quilted it with a leaf pattern called “Ground Cover”.

Floral Stars
Here is another one of those quilts that I am particularly fond of where your brain starts seeing secondary designs when you look at it for a while. This one was made by Kelley, showcasing a pretty floral fabric. I quilted it with “Azaleas”, a floral design with a bit of echo quilting.

Quill
“Quill” is the name of the fabric line (by 3 Sisters for Moda) that Liz used to make this quilt. Liz likes swirly patterns, and this quilt is more about showcasing the pretty fabrics and didn’t need elaborate quilting, so we chose the pattern “Whisper” to finish her project.

Elephant Walk
Thomasine also made this adorable little baby quilt with elephants. I quilted it with the design “Wandering Daisies” that has just the right amount of playfulness for the quilt. What a cute gift!

Maple Woods
Here is a cozy flannel quilt made by Thomasine. I really like quilts that combine patchwork and appliqué, and a pattern like this one is a great starting point to try your hand at fusible appliqué. Big shapes, and just a few blocks… so even if you end up not liking the technique, it’s totally doable. We finished the quilt with the pattern “Fall Leaves”.

Sparrows
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.

Dragonfly Garden
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.

Maple Manor
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.

Thomas the Tank Engine
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.

The Cat’s Meow
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.

Autumn Leaves
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.

Modern Flowers
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.
