Diana Hewins and Scrappy
| |
Diana Hewins also brought in her Scrappy Kaffe Fassett quilt she created using her scraps. The black and white is spot on for making all the multitude of fabrics work! All of them are Kaffe Fassett and you can really see why that they all work so well together!
The Edge to Edge digital design on this one is Chantilly Lace with the top thread being Glide Robins Egg Blue.
Thank you to Diana for sharing with everyone!

Diana Hewins was in to long arm quilt her gorgeous "Journey Home" project. Diana purchased the panel and then using the feathers from another pattern she created that incredible border! Wow! Just Wow!
The Edge to Edge digital design she chose is called Raindrops and top thread is Glide Pumpkin.
Diana, I think part of your charm is that you really don't realize how truly gifted you are! Congratulations! Thank you so much for sharing and I am sure there will be some inspired readers out there!

Sharon Gloyn also brought in this gorgeous little quilt called A Purrfect Day with the cutest little cats in a panel. The colours so fresh and springlike you just have to smile when you see it.
Edge to Edge digital design is Hip Kitty with Glide thread Kiwi. Long arm quilting by Leslie Ford, a fellow cat lover!
Another very interesting part of her quilt is the back. It is like a reversible quilt so take a look at the photo below to get some ideas as to what you can do!

Verna Miller
| |
Verna Miller was in to long arm quilt this beautiful folk art inspired quilt. A very lovely lady from Vancouver pieced it all together and decided to send it to Verna to be quilted. The quilt will be going to victims of the Lytton fires last year.
Lori Dewart was the helper on this one and like all group work efforts this quilt turned out great! Edge to Edge digital design is Alfresco and top thread is Warm Grey 6.
Thank you to Verna for continuing with this wonderful giving gesture. So incredibly generous of Terry from Vancouver for the piecing and Verna for the longarming!

Lucey is in the building!
| |
APQS Millie's little sister Lucey is in the building and Bill is pretty darn excited! The grin is ear to ear as he gets Lucey, a smaller version of the Millie, all set up and ready to go. It will be a few more days for him to finish all the necessary tweaking. She is so stinking cute!!!
With 2 machines in the shop we should be able to book more customers/quilts in to the shop and get those quilts done!
So proud of Bill and all he has accomplished to get this part of the business to where it is. Thank you so much!
