Monday Mornings with Paulette!

‌

Every 2nd  Monday morning, Paulettle Eccleston will be showing one of her scrap quilts with instructions for how to put the block together!!!

Due to long weekends and other such nonsense we were not able to video last Monday but are going to give it our best try on this Monday. Sorry for the oops. Videos are still available on the channel.

Subscribe to our YouTube channel to be kept in the loops as to all the shenanigans going on at the Shelf.

Quilt shown is Framed Rectangles designed by Paulette Eccleston and created by Jan Wellicome.

Tips and tricks, inspiration, trips down memory lane and of course there are bound to be some giggles in there.
The response to her first quilt was fantastic and so much appreciated.

The patterns will be free but cannot for the life of me, figure out how to attach to the video.
In the interim you can email me to request the pattern and I am happy to forward you the pattern.

This has been a learn as we go for both Paulette and myself. We would like to  thank you for all your patience and encouragement.

Heather Mewhort

Heather Mewhort created this stunning Chandelier quilt. Using scraps from her stash she has pulled it all together with a great mix of values in her colours and the white background really meakes everything just pop right up and shine!

The quilt was long armed by Bill using the E2E design Modern Curves with Glide thread Warm Grey 4.

Quilt finished at 88" x 90".

Thank you to Heather for inspiring us all!

Shirley Chizma

‌

Shirley Chizma created this awesome Tanya quilt with a delightful palette of happy spring/summer tones. I absolutely love that border! A simple offset log cabin block arranged to make into a crosses design works so well! Quilt finished at 54" x 64".

Leslie Ford long arm quilted this one using the E2E design Daisies Galore and Glide thread Cloud.

Thank you to Shirley for sharing with us all!

Deb Arvay

‌

Debra Arvay pieced her incredible Mood quilt using a panel to start with. she needed to make it bigger than the pattern so did some adaptations to the pattern and it worked out just beautifully! Great idea for working with the panel!

Leslie Ford long arm quilted the project using the E2E design Bear/Moose/Pine for a woodsy feel.

Thank you to Debra for sharing with us all!

Lynda Dingwell

‌

Lynda Dingwell never ceases to amaze us with her gorgeous creations. This one is called Botanical Garden finishing at 88" x 94". Using fabrics from In the Beginning she has used blocks from the panel, the border strip as well as yardage to maximum effect!

The E2E design chosen is New Growth 2 with Glide thread Celery for a wonderful finish!

Congratulations Lynda and thank you for sharing with us all!
