Bill's July Road Trip
| |
Today is the day we get Bill on the road over to Vancouver Island for APQS repairs and maintenance. He should be out of town by noon. Note word "should".
Bill, fully certified APQS technician, is coming over to set one machine up, and do services for anyone in need with APQS machines.
The cost of the service is $200 with everyone sharing the mileage, which will be $150.
He is also available to bring fabric, kits or notion orders over. Just call your order in or email us and pay with your cc and he will bring it over....no shipping charge for that!
It is very helpful to have a name and address, phone # and email so he knows ahead of time and I can get him organized. Note how I worded that.
The trip after that will be Merritt at the end of July and then the Fraser Valley. He is going to be pretty darn busy!
Contact the shop at 250-376 or email me at info@fabricshelf.ca

Catherine Lukow
| |
Catherine/Joan Lukow brought in her gorgeous Double Pinwheel quilt for us to long arm for her. Her choice in colours and balance of the tones is absolutely spot on! Catherine paid careful attention to spinning her centers of the pinwheels to reduce the bulk. Made Leslie Ford, the long arm quilter on this one, so very happy!
The quilt was quilted using the digital design called Alfresco with swirling leaves and blossoms. Top thread chosen is Glide Pink Lemonade.
Thank you to Catherine/Joan for sharing with us all!
** Catherine is her name but she also goes by the name Joan....ergo the ? between the names. Try both names and see which one she answers to!***

Helen Birdsall

Helen Birdsall brought in her very green quilt for us to long arm for her. Lots of tones of greens but look at how well she balanced them throughout the quilt! I loved her choice of bright spring greens from lights to darks. Just amazing! The quilt is called Icy Waters, very appropriate!
Leslie Ford is the long arm quilter on this one using digital design Flirtacious and top thread is Glide Kryptonite.
Thank you to Helen for sharing with us all!

Verna Miller
| |
This is Verna Miller's masterpiece Celebration Tree Skirt by Quiltworx. Not a weekend project, Verna worked hard on this one and her unique choice of colours makes this quilt truly amazing! Now guess what she has to do? She has to cut it to fit the tree in and then the binding. Gird yourself Verna, this is going to be hard to cut!
Verna took a class with Anne Hall, attended several retreats with Anne to get help if needed and the end result is gorgeous!
Lori Dewart did the long arm quilting and just nailed it! She long armed it on her own machine at home, probably in her pj's!
Thank you to the whole team....Verna for the piecing, Anne Hall for the teaching and Lori for the fabulous finish!

Debbie Arvay was in to long arm quilt her incredible quilt she created for her grandson Braxton. Debbie always manages to do something to her project to make it unique to her. This time she has Braxton's name at the bottom of the quilt, which makes it such a family heirloom.
With help from Leslie Ford, Debbie long armed it using digital pattern Caliente and Top thread Thyme.
Thank you so much, Debbie, for sharing with us all your amazing quilt!

Agnes Olson came in to long arm quilt 2 quilts last week. They are identical so we are only posting the one. A simple design using vibrant purples with the white steps really popping up. Agnes quilted 2 quilts the same size then quilted pillow shams to match!
Leslie and Bill both helped her out on the projects for a great finish....all in one day!! Digital design chosen is Seamless with Glide thread Damson for the top.
Thank you to Agnes for sharing with everyone. You are a master at using what you have and turning it into something very special!
