Quilt #17 for 2024 is the below gorgeous transitional fence rail/9 patch block with ivory borders. A very effective block and I love the fabric my customer/friend Stephen chose!
This quilt was quilted using a panto over all of the blocks (very light and airy floral) and a light feather design done with Qmatic (computerized BERNINA quilting) with hand guided rulered lines on the ivory border. I love how it turned out and apparently my friend Stephen's parents loved it as a very thoughtful gift for their 50th wedding Anniversary. Make no mistake Stephen made this beautiful quilt top. I long arm quilted it on my BERNINA Q20 with Qmatic and Stephen was a pleasure to work with as usual 😊❤️

My newest video is up ! I am proud to say I’m now an affiliate with Silly Moon Quilting Co and representing their Canadian made quilting rulers. They are awesome ! My video all about the Wedgie 3 ruler with my BERNINA 790 PRO & including a coupon code for any ruler purchase is now on YouTube . So grab a beverage and watch 20 minutes total to yourself ! Sharing my BERNINA Q20 long arm efforts today with the scrappy K Fasset quilt my youngest daughter put together in kinda random strip piecing to use up left over fabric from her wedding napkins. I finally was able to get it on my frame ! I hope she loves what I did to it. I also binded it by machine for her as she is busy with her 18 month old baby. I used a floral patterned pants and then reduced it in size and alternated large & small designs 8” &3 “ just to make it texturally interesting. I love that with quilting you can learn something with each project. Take a gander at my pics below: Happy Wednesday! 😊☀️🌸
Up already on the BERNINA International Blog is my tutorial on how to make a small notions tote (3 at a time!) Made with decorative stitches and my BERNINA 790 PRO- but you could use the decorative stitches on your individual machine. I am simply trying to get to know the vast number of stitches on the 790PRO.
This little project is both practical for storage and a great gift giving idea. Check out the blog post and the free pattern/project tutorial here Finish some gorgeous seams with BERNINA Feet #'s 70 & 71 Lap Seam Feet on sale for July 1-31 or until supplies last - check them out at your local quilt shop. Simply showing and sharing quilt #15 on my BERNINA Q20 Long Arm a very natural looking quilt from my customer that I believe she is gifting to a male friend. It turned out lovely with an all over maple leaf patterned pantograph, she liked it too!
Hi there and Happy 4th of July for all my American friends & relatives!
Below is a sneak peak picture of an article I have written on the BERNINA International Blog & that will be posted July 14, 2024 on www.blog.bernina.com/en A few hints : it's a free project tutorial, using decorative stitches with my BERNINA 790 PRO. I will leave you in suspense for the rest, check out the blog post, more info to come! Click on the image below and visit my teaching page for the description of this class I have just added. As a full day workshop, it's designed for participants who have a BERNINA QSeries Long Arm Machine and who need more creative inspiration and /or training. It will be fun and extremely creative! Contact your local BERNINA Dealer and tell them you need this class, they can contact me through my contact tab above.
I held another small Quiltingintheloft Studio class recently where we worked on the Enclosed Zipper Bag and ended up learning how to attach a zipper bag into the lining of the actual bag. This created 3 interior pockets. It also included using a lobster claw as a unique closing fixture. I quilted my fabric up on the BERNINA 790 PRO. You can use the ZIPPER FOOT #4/4D designed to stitch next to zipper coils, this foot requires the use of a far right or far left needle position. There is no problem at all going through thickness of fabric with this machine. It handles it all smoothy. Some pictures to date from the finished bags from the day long workshop are below:
