Diane Kemp

diane-kemp-large-balck-and-white ‌

Diane Kemp created this jaw dropping quilt for her son. He is a big fellow so needed a king size quilt. Diane worked with a black, grey and white palette and simple star blocks for a fantastic finish! Now she gets to put all the binding on....that may take a few days. I think she is hand sewing the binding down!

Leslie quilted the quilt using the edge to edge design Bebop and Glide thread Zebra Affinity variegated.

A stunning quilt Dianne and thank you for sharing with everyone!

‌

Dee Dhaliwal

dee-dhaliwal-prism ‌

Dee Dhaliwal brought in her incredible Prism quilt to be long arm quilted. Dee decided to make her quilt bigger to fit her king bed, so added larger sashings. The pattern is by Jason Yenter of In the Beginning Fabrics and his projects tend to be very generous with the fabric amounts so she had not problems.

Now for the really amazing part of this whole quilt.......This is Dee's second quilt she has ever made!!! Just unbelieveable that she pulled this one off as her second quilt. Dee you are amazing!!

Leslie was the long arm quilter on this one using the edge to edge design Shamrocks and Glide thread Electric for the top.

Thank you to Dee for sharing and I can't wait to see what you will do next!

Kaci Phillips

Kaci Phillips was in to long arm quilt her amazing Tim Holtz Halloween quilt and it is gorgeous! Kaci's mom got her the fabric pack and Kaci started putting it all together. Beautifully pieced and the spider web design for quilting was the icing on the cake!

Bill was the assistant to Kaci using edge to edge design Spiders and Spiderwebs with Glide thread Strawberry Blond for the top.

Thank you to Kaci for sharing your quilt journey with us all. Kaci started quilting at the beginning of Covid and totally addicted to it now!

Lindsay Wourms

lindsay-wourms-grinch-quilt ‌

Lindsay Wourms was in with her Christmas quilt to be long armed. The Grinch is just the cutest ever! This has to be one of my favourite Christmas quilts that has come in so far. On the back Lindsay chose a Grinch green minky with a long nap.

Leslie Ford long arm quilted it with the edge to edge design Christmas Doodle Ornaments and Glide thread Prickly Pear for the top. With that design name and colour of thread you just know she had spectacular results.

Thank you to Lindsay for sharing with us all! Love love love your quilt!

Pat Muldoe

pat-muldoe-disappearing-nine-patch ‌

Pat Muldoe was in to long arm quilt this gorgeous Disappearing 9 Patch quilt she created for a Christmas present. Her quilt is all bright happy fabrics with a great placement of tones and values of the fabrics.

Bill was the assistant to Pat on her quilt and they worked together to create the awesome finish. The edge to edge design used is Dragon Wings with Glide Affinity variegated thread Rainbow.

Thank you to Pat for sharing with everyone!

Lynda Dingwell

lynda-dingwell-knitted-for-ewe ‌

Lynda Dingwell decided to make the Knitted for Ewe quilt after seeing the sample in the shop videos. The quilt is going to avid skiers who are sure to love this one. Lynda added the skies to the pattern to really  make it personal for the recipients. What a great idea Lynda!

Leslie long arm quilted the quilt using edge to edge design Calm Clouds with Cool Mint by Glide threads for the top.

Thank you to Lynda for sharing!

Linda Andersen

linda-andersen ‌

Linda Andersen brought her beautiful little baby quilt in to be long arm quilted. Linda is known for loving all the beachy fabrics with their soft calm tones of colour. This one is gender neutral which is exactly what she was looking for. The quilt is a little newborn one finishing at 33" x 33".

Leslie Ford is the long arm quilter on this one and the quilt is just lovely with the edge to edge digital design called Animal Crackers and Glide thread Strawberry Blonde for the top.

Thank you to Linda for sharing with us all!

Leslie Ford

‌

Check out Leslie Ford's incredible Book Nerd Quilt below. Leslie made the quilt for an online quilting friend who is going through some tough times. She chose all of the book fabrics and titles to have special meanings. Leslie's embroidery machine was put to work with the label on the back and finishing touches on the front.

Leslie long arm quilted her quilt here at the shop using Greek Key Book edge to edge design and Glide Affinity Grain thread for the top.

Leslie put a lot of love into this quilt using her gorgeous Tula Pink fabrics and the quilting is spectacular! Just amazing Leslie! Thank you so much for sharing!

Check out below for the embroidered label on the back. And yes all those books are embroidered. A 2 hour well spent to get this incredible label!

Karen Hocaluk brought her stunning Elephant quilt in to show us. She pieced and quilted the project entirely on her own! He colours and placements were just spot on! Pattern is by Violet Craft.

A gorgeous quilt Karen!

‌

Sally Andrysiak

sally-andrysiak-omg-quilt-front ‌

Sally Andrysiak was in to show us her quilt. The first words I said were "Oh my Gosh!" to which Sally informed me is the name of the quilt!
The pattern is honestly called Omigosh! quilt. There are 13,001 pieces in the interior of the quilt. The little nine patches are made with 1/2" squares!!!!
I checked Sally's eyeballs and they are still functioning so she is good to go.

Sharon Blackmore in Alberta is the long arm quilter on the quilt and did an awesome job of putting a professional finish to this show stopper of a quilt.

The first photo is Sally with the quilt and the photo below is a close up hopefully showing the intricate piecing.
