Simply sharing to inspire. Photos of some recent long arm quilting finishes for a customer, she loves civil war/traditional quilts & piecing. Her colour arrangements are lovely. I quilted these two quilts on my BERNINA Q20 Long Arm Machine using "Angel Wings" and "Marocco" pantographs & the BERNINA #9 Free Motion Foot. Hand guided edge to edge quilting work with my lazer light. It was a pleasure to work on & see this customers quilts!    Have a great wednesday ☀️
l had an awesome full classroom yesterday with "Explore Thread Painting". This class was held at Creekbank Sewing in Mount Forest. This is a beginner thread painting class where we thread painted an appliquéd sunflower on woodgrain fabric making a gorgeous art quilt. In this class, I showed participants how to machine appliqué the easy way. Threads, needles and appropriate machine techniques were discussed. This is a beginner thread painting project and after completion of this class students will be able to add thread painted motifs to their own quilted projects or make artistic home decor and expand on this technique. Special Thanks to all who attended the class! You were wonderful! Also as shown below, fabulous work!❤️ I hope to see more of your thread painted work in the future! Check out some images of participants in action below:  Original Design & Class Sample "Thread Painted Sunflower"  If you have a group interested in a class, contact me here ...or call Creekbank Sewing in Mount Forest, Ontario to schedule a class: 519-323-2693
Enjoy your Wednesday! In case any of my followers want to know what's going on behind the scenes when there is radio silence from me. Trust me nothing is ever silent in my world! I believe life is for living & pursuing passions. Therefore behind the scenes there is always a behive of creative activity! Just a few minutes ago at 630am I was responding to Bernina Blog comments. Last evening I was working on my Bernina Q20 & a customer quilt. I was also prepping for a Thread Painting Class at Creekbank Sewing this Tuesday and reviewing my new Crumb Pieced Star In a Star Pattern (soon to be available on my website). So yes radio silence is non existent! Some photos of the "Behive" are shown below  Designing Crumb Pieced Star in a Star Pattern  On my Bernina Q20 Long Arm beautiful customer quilt with vintage appeal!

 55 x 55" Crumb Pieced Star - *NEW CLASS* After a busy summer, I was finally able to complete my Crumb Pieced Star in a Star quilt sample for my newest class.

It's heavily quilted and quilting suggestions are discussed in this class.
