Judy Niemeyer Flower Garden

Lynne made this quilt designed by Judy Niemeyer in a class. This isn’t her first Judy Niemeyer project but the first that has appliqué. She asked for an overall quilting pattern and chose the design “Ginger Flower” for her quilt. This is a huge quilt that was difficult to photograph, and the pictures don’t do it justice at all but this was the best I could do.

Scrap Crazy

For this quilt, Beverly was determined to use up scraps and orphan blocks. The top is mostly organized and within a certain colour scheme, and she did a lot of crazy-quilt-style embroidery. But for the back she decided that anything would go… large and small scraps, pieced, appliquéd and embroidered orphan blocks – whatever was at hand went into it. I had to laugh when she warned me before she pulled it out of her bag. Yes, it certainly was quite wild but at least she found a use for all these leftovers. I quilted it with the pantograph “Celtic Scroll”, this was definitely a quilt that didn’t need a lot of intricate quilting.

Log Cabin Beads

“Log Cabin Beads” was made by Ginger and is already the second quilt she made using this pattern. She gave the first one away but loved it so much that she decided to make it again, this time for herself. The pantograph we used is called “Time Warp”.

Central Park

This blue and white quilt is one of Lyn’s projects, and when she dropped it off she already knew that she wanted me to use the pantograph “Bauhaus” for this quilt. There wasn’t much for me to do except actually quilt it. Blue and white is one of my favourite colour combinations, but this might be a good pattern for a scrap quilt as well, I will definitely keep it in mind.

Kelp Forest

This project is Carolynn’s first quilt, she made it with her mom’s help. The batik fabrics she used have an ocean theme, and the quilting design we chose suits the modern look of the quilt. It is called “Time Warp” but the texture reminded me of a kelp forest.

Barbed Wire

“Barbed Wire” is a Fons & Porter design, and this is Gail’s version… a different Gail though, not the one that made the Lava Flow quilt from the last post. It is a wonderful pattern to use up scraps, and the zig zag layout is quite different and makes it interesting. And isn’t the black fabric Gail used for the background and backing just perfect for the barbed wire theme? The quilting design is called “Celtic Scroll”.

Lava Flow

Gail made this quilt using leftover Kaffe Fassett fabrics from her Dreamy Hexagons quilt. She chose neutrals for the background and border to make the feature fabrics stand out more. The pantograph I used is called “Raindrops”, and I turned the quilt by 90 degrees and put it on the frame sideways which resulted in a wavy allover pattern.

Pepper & Flax

Brenda made this pretty quilt using the Moda fabric collection “Pepper & Flax” by Corey Yoder. The pantograph we chose is called “Lapis”, and I even remembered to take some pictures with the quilt still on the frame.

Panama Pyramids

Lisa pieced this “Panama Pyramids” quilt using leftovers from her stash and asked if it could be quilted with a Baptist Fan pattern. The original Baptist Fan would have to be done with rulers which would take a lot of time but luckily there are clever pantograph designers around who came up with several allover versions of this pattern. The one I used is simply called “Continuous Baptist Fan”, and it looks really nice on Lisa’s quilt.
