Pam Ebert

  pam-ebert-2-quilts

Pam Ebert was in this week to quilt 2 quilts in one day! It always amazes me when someone comes in that pulls that off! When you think about how many hours it would take under your domestic, there is so much satisfaction to have 2 done and ready to bind!

The smaller of the quilts, Pam did using a different technique. She put the channel lock on and off she went. She stitched perfectly straight lines 1 1/4" apart horizontally and the quilt turned out gorgeous! What a great idea for a fast and fabulous finish!

Thank you to Pam for sharing our day and giving us new ideas!

 
 

Joanne Rosvick

Joanne Rosvick was in to show us her quilt that she made for a new little one. The fabric line is called "I Love You to the Moon" and is so incredibly cute!

The fabric has little animal characters playing instruments on clouds and dancing on the moon. Just adorable! The colour combination is really different but Joanne nailed in pattern and layout.

Joanne quilted this on her domestic machine at home using several different stitches and designs. I love to see our customers stretch their boundaries and try different things. Way to go Joanne!

Thanks to Joanne for showing us your finished quilt and inspiring us all.

 
 

Lorraine Silbernagel

I don't think this has been posted before so apologies if you have already seen it. Take a peek at this gorgeous quilt Lorraine Silbernagel made from bright colours with fun prints.

I just loved the layout and the splashes of dark wine coloured squares really make everything pop. Lorraine did a great job of laying all the squares out to where they would look the best.

Thank you to Lorraine for sharing our day with us and giving everyone more ideas on how to use our stashes!

Sew Days in 2020

  sad-emoji-2

Due to rising costs our cost of Sew Days will be going up in January to $10 per person.

I was so sad to have to do this but it is a tough market out there right now. Just wanted to give a bit of a heads up for all the Friday sew girls.

Your $10 gives you the use of our room, irons, Best Press spray, advice when one of us is available and some great social time. Thank you for your understanding.

 
 

Brenda Bliss

brenda-bliss-big-panel 

Brenda Bliss was in to long arm quilt this gorgeous panel by Moda! That is one huge panel. Nothing else....just the panel! I was just gobsmacked! I do not have this panel, sadly, but check at Katja's as she carries a lot of Moda product.

Brenda chose a simple panto called Modern Twist and Glide thread for perfect results! We had so much fun with Brenda and look forward to her coming back soon.

Thank you to Brenda for sharing your day with us!
