I seem to have been receiving a lot of baby quilts to long arm for others recently. It's funny, I'll get very large quilts all at once or smaller ones and it seems to go in cycles that way. The next 3 I will show below are quilts # 5, 6 & 7 for 2024. All with pantograph quilting with the exception of the HELEN quilt which was panto'd (edge to edge quilted) just before the name Helen. I then I reduced the size of the daisy motif and free motion quilted around the word and stitched in the ditch around the flowers and the white section for the name. I wanted to show off the work on the appliqué. Sometimes it's a refreshing break to get some smaller quilts that I can complete quickly. All of these quilts were completed on my BERNINA Q20 with Qmatic. All of these are customer quilts. Have a great Saturday and a lovely weekend!🙂☀️
On Feb 27, 2024 I taught my Mosaic Landscapes class at Creekbank Sewing in Mount Forest, Ontario. This is based on Gloria Loughman's book "Radiant Landscapes" . I highly recommend her expertise on colour theory and all of the many quilts shown in this book. She's the genius of landscape quilt making! This class was a very full one so another class has been added for March 26th. if you or a group of friends are interested in this class please contact Creekbank Sewing to register. at 1 519-323-2693. This newly built store has a huge, bright class, an awesome sales floor with BERNINA sewing machines, lots of notions and gorgeous fabric. Check out the class description here. Pictures from my recent class are shown below: Students Donna and June's Mosaic Landscape Student Work Marg and Sylvia Student work in progress
This past weekend I taught a beginners class with star blocks and a modern 1/2 square triangle quilt in Huntsville, ON. Stay tuned for pictures! It was fun to bring to new quilters into the fold. 😊

BERNINA has an accessory of the month on Sale- showing you some love if you have been looking at this foot to purchase see below. It's great for working with thick fabrics and quilting! ❤️ Watch the video for more info: I had an awesome time Saturday teaching at Triangle Sewing in Guelph a Landscape Mini Quilt Class, the technique was hand appliqué . It was a great class to play, touch and ooh and awe over landscape fabrics and learn how to appliqué in such a way that the stitches are invisible. We all had lots of fun, participants seemed to love the potential of this skill and fabric & said they would make more of these. Thanks to all 4 ladies who participated Wendy, Mary, Kirsten and Emily you made the start of my teaching year for 2024 fun! Below are some photos of the classroom, student projects, the students and my class samples. The one with the grey frame was demonstrated in class. If you are interested in one of my future classes take a look at my teaching page here or contact me about Trunk Shows or Classes here Have an amazing week!😊❄️ Stay Warm and Well
As many of you know just before Christmas I took delivery & install of the Qmatic (Computer) System for my BERNINA Q20 Long Arm Machine. It's a big deal for me because I love to free motion quilt and love the quality of stitching that I get with the computerized quilting. I am in love and simply amazed by this new addition/improvement to my already awesome Q20 Long Arm. I have finished 4 quilts all ready since Jan 1 and I am showing you them below. I am feeling very comfortable with Edge to Edge Quilting now and moving on to block quilting with my 5th quilt, stay tuned for a picture of that one. The first 2 are customer quilts and the second 2 are UFO's I am finally completing and now on to the binding! All completed with Edge to Edge/Pantograph Designs. I hope you have a wonderful January!
Given that I just purchased my new Qmatic to go with my Bernina Qseries Long Arm, my word for 2024 is going to be "Learn".
