Kim Thompson

‌

Isn't this just one of the cutest little baby quilts you have seen? All in bright colours and fun happy jungle critters this one is sure to delight a very lucky little one. 
Kim Thompson pieced the quilt and then brought it in for Leslie Ford to long arm quilt for her. The edge to edge design chosen is Animal Crackers with all the animals in the design. Top thread is Glide Pumpkin Seed.

Thank you to Kim for sharing your quilt journey with us all.

Sue Jang

‌

Sue Jang brought her darling little girl quilt in for us to long arm quilt for her. However first she had our very own Leslie Ford do the embroidered blocks and then Leslie tackled the long arm quilting. 
The digitizing worked out so well with the swirling hearts and a soft vintage look. The edge to edge design is called You are Loved and thread is Glide Strawberry Blond.

The quilt is just lovely and will be much appreciated by a very lucky little granddaughter. 
Thank you to Sue for sharing your quilt with us all!

Muriel Ganchar

‌

Muriel Ganchar created this gorgeous tote bag and I wanted to show you all the edging. The photo shows the edge at the top of the bag. She used  Drapery fabric with a natural fray and wow! What a interesting and classy finished look to her bag!

Thank you to Muriel for giving us more ideas to use up some of our treasures that are lurking in the sewing room!

Keri Quintal

‌

Keri Quintal created the most adorable little girl quilt using a panel and some very clever choices on coordinates to really make it come to life! Title of the quilt is You are Loved finishing at 50" x 58".
The quilt design is called Daisies Galore and top thread is Glide Apricot Blush. Leslie Ford did the long arm quilting. 

Thank you to Keri for sharing your quilt journey with us all!

A little teaser for you!

‌

I thought it might be fun to give you a bit of a tease as to a couple of new fabrics coming in to the shop next week or two. 

First up we have Legendary Journeys by In the Beginning Fabrics. Based on Computer games this one is going to be so popular with all the gamers out there. Very gender neutral, rich tones of colours and a decent bed size quilt. 

We will have the kits and the fabrics to coordinate.  Yeah us!
