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 😊❤️ 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 hope you are enjoying a lovely Monday on this fresh new week! I am simply showing and sharing today- 2 more "quilts" I just finished on my awesome BERNINA Q20 Long Arm. #13-These quilts are unusual the first one is a T Shirt Quilt that I restored as it had zero stabilizer on it and was in disrepair. I don't usually take on T shirt projects but felt a pull to do this one for some reason. I took it apart, stabilized the t shirt sections, added some fabric to make it go onto the rollers of my frame, panto quilted it with Puzzle Pieces and then added a nice hand finished binding. It also will return to my customer freshly laundered, ironed and lint brush. I think it looks so much better than when it was first delivered to me! #14-The second quilt was actually a sleeping bag that was sentimental to my customer as it came from her grandmother. I took it apart on the edges (my customer had already removed the sleeping bag quilting), I removed the batting, added 2 layers of new batting, quilted it ( geometric stitches) and bound it by machine to make it durable for outdoor use if needed. It is now a quilt rather than a sleeping bag. It has also been freshly laundered, ready for use. What was really interesting about this process is I found the BERNINA Q20 Long Arm could go through unusual fabric- stretch jersey T shirts, stabilizer and batting and parachute like nylon fabric with 2 layers of batting with the sleeping bag with absolute ease. I used Glide thread on the top and in the Bottom for both quilts with no issues. It is such a durable, versatile machine! See the photos of both of these quilts below: Happy Monday!☀️
Quilt #11 for 2024 is a Viking Ship Quilt made by my customer Wendy, I ended up using my Qmatic (computerized designs) on my BERNINA Q20 long arm, the ruler foot #96 and cup clip and quilted spirals and waves in keeping with the ocean theme. All the colours made it fun to look at & to quilt. Have a look at this quilt below: Just showing and sharing: Quilt #10 for 2024 "confetti quilt" made by my customer Ruth and quilted on my BERNINA Q20 Long Arm with Qmatic in a fern pattern, very much suited the backing and some of the motifs on the front. Fun to explore designs in Qmatic and find just the right one for the quilt. 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!🙂☀️
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!
This quilted wall hanging ( Quilt # 19 for 2024 for me) is approximately 56 x 56" square & is a quilt that I taught as a private lesson to a small group over about 8 months. I call mine Mardi Gras Lone Star because it's so colourful! Lessons learned: 60 degree angle strip piecing, Y-seams, curved piecing, english paper piecing and a unique border layout. It was fun & my little group did a fantastic job on theirs too! I ended up ruler quilting it for the most part with some free motion quilting.  My Mardi Gras Lone Star  3 of the Lone Star Quilts shown at Elmira Needle Sisters Guild Meeting This is a customer's quilt for Simon, quilted on my Bernina Q20 Long Arm with chicken feet (corners) eggs, wavy lines & feather like texture. It was fun to quilt and I love all the colours. Simon is a lucky boy and my customer Sue has fantastic taste, I love quilting her quilts!  |
