CanGo Grannies Quilt

Thank you so much to the CanGo Grannies organizations for showing their quilt in our shop for 2 days this past week! We were so honoured to be asked and learned so much about the organization and what they do.

A huge thank you also goes out to everyone who came out to see the quilt and offer support.

Joan MacDonald

Joan MacDonald brought her lovely neutral quilt in for us to long arm quilt for her. Her quilt was pretty darn gorgeous before it was quilted......but after the long arm quilting? Incredible!!

Leslie Ford quilted the quilt using a new digital design called Radiate with Pearls. Thread chosen is Glide Warm Grey 4.

Below I have shown a close up of the quilting design.

Diana Hewins

‌

Diana Hewins was in to long arm quilt this incredible quilt in support of her daughters' organization she works for.
The children of the organization created the quilt blocks and Diana had the fun of assembling and quilting!


Here is a short write up that daughter Kelli has done for you:

"Camp fYrefly is a leadership retreat for queer and trans youth ages 14 - 24 that is held annually in four locations across Canada. In a fun and social environment, campers develop skills that will positively impact their lives, homes, schools, and communities. Art and creativity are a big part of Camp! Along with the expert and caring help of Diana H. and her friends at Heather's Fabric Shelf in Kamloops, participants were able to contribute to this joyful quilt. We hope it will bring hope and comfort to future campers, and serve as a reminder of the strength of this vibrant community."

Annette Nicholson

‌

This quilt is a pretty special quilt!
With a title like Tender Heart what else would we expect?

Annette created the quilt with a bit of a scrappy theme and then brought it in for us to quilt for her.
Using Pink Lemonade thread by Glide and Digital design PS I Love You the results were just amazing! Leslie Ford really brought this quilt to life with the quilting!

See photo below for a closeup of the quilting.

Thank you to Annette for sharing with us all!

Sheryll Smith

‌

Sheryl Smith brought her beautiful lap quilt in for us to long arm for her. Using a Square in a Square pattern, shades of blues and the lovely roses (I do like my flowers) just look at what she created!

Leslie Ford did the long arm quilting on this one using the digital design called Elizabeth for a soft swirly floral look. Thread chosen was Glide Baby Blue.

Suzanne Demers

‌

Suzanne Demers brought her gorgeous Night Sky quilt in to be quilted. This is just such a fun, creative project to work on.
Suzanne chose the digital design "West Wind at Night" and Glide thread Slate for the spectacular finish you see here.

Leslie Ford is the long arm quilter and did amazing!

Thank you to Suzanne for sharing!

Marcia Skaarup

‌

We have Kaffe Fassett fabrics and precuts in the shop and were looking for some ideas on what do with them.

Marcia Skaarup very kindly offered to show us all what she did with her Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I love all the large exuberant florals in bright colours!
Marcia chose well with the pattern as it really shows off the fabrics!

Pattern is called Mountainside by Bonjour Quilts.

Thank you to Marcia for the sharing!
