@arquilters made two quilts this month. On the fir @arquilters made two quilts this month. On the first she overdyed some of her ‘not so loved fabrics’ to get the indigo fabric. When she started making the courthouse blocks she felt it need a more colour and the pink seemed to go perfectly. Quilted by Parm Gosselin @fiddleheadquiltz_parm . Quilts two and three - When news came out of the 215 unmarked graves at the Kamloops Residential School she made 215 mini 4” blocks. They were made into two quilts and donated.
@lornashapiro Finished a Quilt for baby River Jus @lornashapiro Finished a Quilt for baby River Just finished. Used the AGF PURE Solids and they are terrific to work with. Tight weave. Great hand. No harmful chemicals or dyes.
@cheryl_is_my_middle_name These are two photos of @cheryl_is_my_middle_name These are two photos of the Ray quilt, a free quilt pattern from Carolyn Friedlander. It was made like a medallion quilt, starting at the centre, with all strips being 5 inches wide. She chose to quilt it by hand. The fabrics are many favourites from stash on hand.
@dimestorefloozie STITCH (WIP alert Loretta!!) w @dimestorefloozie STITCH (WIP alert Loretta!!) was started at a QuiltCon workshop in Nashville, #sewallthecurves workshp (curved alphabet) with Jen Carlton-Bailly (@bettycrockerass ) and finally quilted into a mini last month which now hangs in my sewing room. She is a riot of an instructor, a lot of fun and helpful with tips and tricks. The quilt hanging behind the photo of her with Jen is her curved alphabet sampler. OWL (WIP alert Loretta!!) is an EPP pattern by Violet Craft that she pieced in 2018, and finally quilted and made it into a pillow last month.

@wordnerd411 Started this quilt at the beginning o @wordnerd411 Started this quilt at the beginning of lockdown It’s 48 by 58 inches The quilting is based on Melissa Marginet workshop and book and is the largest quilt she’s done on her domestic machine The blocks are all either 6 or 12 inches square but the centres are different size rectangles The centre of each block is the outside of the next block and one block is very low contrast

October 23rd, 2021 10:00am-4:00pm on Zoom Open to all $75 - Includes pattern and six hours of instruction. The Cloud Surfing quilt workshop is all about getting comfortable with piecing curves. In this workshop I walk you through piecing 3 different sized oval drunkard’s path block variations that are featured in the Cloud Surfing quilt. By the end of the workshop you’ll have tried piecing your blocks with and without pins so you can decide which method works best for you!

@blueberry_hills_quilts made and gifted this quilt @blueberry_hills_quilts made and gifted this quilt this month. The pattern is Callipo from Free Bird Quilting Designs. This was a baby quilt for the latest addition to our extended family but she’s calling it a “fort quilt” since she made the lap size and it is better for making forts than swaddling babies.
@amyamydame @amydamemakesstuff showed three piece @amyamydame @amydamemakesstuff showed three pieces this week. 1) An improv mini from a @davidowenhastings workshop (detail and full shot) 2) Siddhi style mini quilt from a workshop with Sujata Shah - coastal scene applique, made using techniques learned in a workshop with Luke Haynes (applique photo and reference photo) 3) Jagmeet Singh fabric portrait, variation on techniques learned in a workshop with Luke Haynes aprox 13" × 11"
@terryaskeartquilts showed this sunflower mini qui @terryaskeartquilts showed this sunflower mini quilt. For the SAQA trunk show; all pieces are 7" x 10". Sunflower petals and leaves fused to boiled wool. Then sketchy black stitching. Then trimmed boiled wool closely and quilted to purple background.
@happysewlucky made this first aid kit for Georgia @happysewlucky made this first aid kit for Georgia, her daughter, who has just started nursing school at Ryerson University. She used the Retreat Bag pattern by @emmalinebags. It’s a free pattern but you need to purchase the Style B frame - available at both Emmaline Bags and Fabric Spark. Great pattern and fabulously huge bag. She recommend dense quilting for this bag it adds structure on the large panels.
@lornashapiro showed two quilts this week. The fi @lornashapiro showed two quilts this week. The first quilt is Warehouse District #1 and it is a WIP... the quilt combines Essex linens, RK's Warehouse District prints. I designed and pieced it. Nick quilted it. Second quilt is a Dupioni quilt and it is a WIP... the quilt is a less than successful combination of dupioni silk, essex linens, woven and printed cottons from Japan. I designed, pieced and quilted it. This is an example of the fact that quilting also teaches me humility... I just couldn't get this to be a good looking quilt, so I finished it and hoped someone would like it. Ending the suffering was the best way out
@arquilters started this quilt in @shannonfraserde @arquilters started this quilt in @shannonfraserdesigns and @broadclothstudio’s #30daysofimprovqal challenge. All fabric was used from her scrap bin.

@terryaskeartquilts showed three projects: #1 - B @terryaskeartquilts showed three projects: #1 - Baby quilt for Alice - for her niece's 3rd baby. Alice has an older brother and sister who both have baby quilts from her. She thought it would be fun to use some of the fabrics from their quilts in this one. She also included a pink fabric that her and her sister Anne (Alice’s grandma) dyed together. She backed the quilt with fleece and brought it around to the front for a 2" wide cuddly binding. #2 - Rainbow Ripples mini quilt - for FAN annual art exchange. Required size 5" x 15". Inspired by a decorative drain grate at Vancouver Aquarium. She fused the bright solids to a dark patterned background. Terry finished it with straight line quilting at an angle, and faced edges. #3 - Name tag - Terry said it was a challenge to make the letters small enough to fit within the 4″ x 3″ size of a name tag. The ‘t’ is about 2″ high, and the other letters are about 1.5″. Some of the overlapping pieces are tiny! She fused it onto an eggplant background and made sure it would fit in a standard plastic name tag sleeve. She plans to wear this name tag to many future in-person quilting events
