Stolen Quilt

‌

Last Saturday one of our customers had a quilt stolen from her car. The quilt was being made for one of her grandsons so has very special meaning for her.

The quilt is in 3 pieces as she is working on it as a Quilt as you Go project where you quilt it in sections and then sew the sections together.
The quilt was in a "Winner" grey and pink shopping bag. Also taken is a 18" green project box with threads, scissors, bendable light and other notions.

If you have seen it show up in one of the thrift shops or Marketplace contact Elizabeth at 250-554-3600.

Thank you so much for your help on this very upsetting event.

Celia Visscher

‌

Celia Visscher brought her gorgeous queen quilt all in neutral tones in for us to longarm for her. Neutrals are super popular right now and Celia found the perfect design for her to do!

The digital design chosen is called Flirtacious with Glide thread Cool Grey 3 for the top. Leslie Ford is the longarmer on this one and did a fabulous job of it. Great movement in the design with all the seams being locked down with this design.

Thank you to Celia for sharing your talents with us all!

Starr Webb

‌

Starr Webb brought her ISpy quilt in for us to longarm for her. The yellow for the sashing and border is absolutely perfect! Bill helped her out on the colour so I guess this is where I, the wife, has to say he was right. Le sigh.....

The digital design chosen is called Dave's Hot Wheels which as you can imagine is just perfect for this quilt. Top thread is Glide Mint with Leslie as the pro-star longarmer on this one!

Thank you to Starr for sharing with us all!

Julie Biller

‌

Julie Biller, who has the most amazing smile ever, created this gorgeous Canada quilt with a line of fabrics from Northcott. The Canada fabrics from Northcott are the best I have seen out there, in my opinion. the red is the hardest one to get and they just nailed it with the tone of it.

Digital design chosen is Maple Syrup with Glide thread Biscotti for the top. Long arm quilted by Leslie Ford.

Thank you to Julie for sharing your quilt and 1000watt smile! You do my heart good!

Diane Mousseau

Diane Mousseau did a commission quilt for a client using the Dragons fabrics from In the Beginning Fabrics. The fabrics are incredible and Diane's artistry in creating the quilt is amazing!

The digital design is Breath of the Gods (How appropriate is that?) with Glide thread Sienna for the top. Longarm quilted by Leslie Ford.

Thank you to Diane for sharing with us all your incredible talents!

Diane Mousseau

Diane Mousseau also created this lovely little Zoology baby quilt and had us do the longarming. The soft pastels and lots of negative space to play with made this one a joy to work on.

Edge to edge quilted with digital design called Bauhaus with Glide thread Pale Mist for the top. Longarm quilted by Leslie Ford.

Thank you again to Diane for sharing all your talents. You are amazing!

Peggy Mutch

‌

This quilt will knock your socks off! Peggy Mutch created this eye popping Bargello quilting using a pattern from a Bargello book by Eileen Wright. As this one was being longarmed people were constantly stopping to look and admire!
This is a big quilt finishing at 103" x 111".

Leslie Ford is the longarmer on the quilt using a digital design called Fast Feathers, which is not actually not all that fast. It is spectacular though! Top thread is Glide Vintage which has a yellow tone. Wow! just Wow! Matching pillow shams were also quilted! Longarm quilted by Leslie Ford.

Thank you to Peggy Mutch for sharing your amazing talent with us!

Shirley Huculak

‌

Shirley Huculak was in to longarm her amazing Tumbler quilt she created for her grandson. The center of the quilt has the letter S for Spencer, who is receiving this quilt as a graduation quilt! Wow! What a heirloom!

The digital design is called Seamless with Glide thread Slate for the top. Bill is the longarm assistant for Shirley on the the quilt.

Thank you to Shirley for sharing with us all!
