Had a small group attendance at Quiltingintheloft Studio to demo "Paperless Paper Piecing" it was fun and I am sure I encouraged a UFO for all! I will make mine into a quilt eventually! A great technique, used my BERNINA 350 SE and the #37 Patchwork Foot with 1/4" seam allowances. See photos 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. Showing and sharing the photos below are of a custom quilt I made for my niece and her new baby Emma. They are the culmination design wise of a few different ideas I have seen on Pinterest of Winnie the Pooh Quilts. My niece specifically wanted a Winnie the Pooh Quilt for her new baby as it was nostalgic from her childhood. The below ended up being an appliqué quilt with English paper pieces hexies (hand pieced) (right corner) and extensive heavy free motion quilting. Quilt was made on my BERNINA 350 SE and free motion quilted with ruler work on my BERNINA Q20 long arm machine. My niece said she loved it, Thank goodness! I hope they cherish it for years to come.  Custom made & quilted Winnie the Pooh Quilt  How cute is Emma on the quilt with Winnie looking right at her!  I think Emma is excited and it's all about the quilt! lol Just showing and sharing: the quilt below is a customer quilt and I was asked to do it "the way you think it should be done". I choose lines in the mountains and atmosphere or soft cloud like movement in the sky area. I call it a Mid Mod because the colours are reminiscent of that. I think the quilting achieved the mid mod look too. It really is called Twin Peaks and ironically it's for twin girls. Quilted on my BERNINA Q20 Long Arm with rulers and FMQ.  Lots of thread changes, I tried to match to the fabric colours  The finished Twin Peaks Quilt with straight lines and atmosphere I am excited to announce that I just unboxed my 790 PRO with embroidery module and BERNINA Embroidery Software 9. I will be writing all about this here on the BERNINA International blog (www.blog.bernina.com/en) My unboxing video is shown below. Be sure to head over to my post all about it here on the BERNINA International blog - where I discuss some of the key features. If you are considering purchasing this machine or a new 790PRO user or need to be inspired, please check this resource out! I'm so excited, I just can't hide it 🎵🎶🎹 I'm sure you can hear the Pointer Sisters singing and now it's your ear worm, your welcome! Happy Easter everyone!🐥
It's March and we are almost at spring! Hang in there. BERNINA has a great ruler promotion for March. Maybe this will cheer you up? See below rulers are discounted 20% My personal favourite is the clams ruler set and it's on sale! Happy Almost Spring🙂🌼  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!🙂☀️
