Quilted By: Theresa McLeod

Each block was quilted with decorative stitches or techniques (ie. pintucks/couchin) before applique was applied. Many Swarovski crystals were used, as well as rick rack, buttons, decorative trim, reverse applique. It was a great quilt to use all those decorative stitches on my machine, and since making this quilt, I definitely use the decorative stitches on a more regular basis. The quilting was completed by me on a Grace Frame with my Bernina 820. I had a lot of fun choosing bright happy colors, fun buttons and of course lots of sparkle. It makes me happy looking at this quilt.

 Latte Quilt Design by Kerrie Hay
Quilted By: Susan MacDonald of Whitehorse, Yukon

This quilt was quite the adventure. I had no experience with machine embroidery and had only quilted a few tree skirts, before taking on this exciting project. When this class was offered in my local area, I jumped right in. I was so excited to see, what my new Phaff 7570, could do. This beautiful quilt includes muslin squares embroidered by machine, and joined together with satin sashing. What I thought would take a few months to complete, ended up taking 5 years. It seemed a little daunting at times and I often wondered what I had gotten myself into. I was so happy just to finish the top, that I granted myself a little break. It was not until the quilt came back from my friend and long-arm expert, Susan MacDonald, when I realized how wonderful the quilt actually is. Susan really knows how to bring out the best in a quilt. Special thanks to my fellow quilters who voted it as Viewer’s Choice.

I have the good fortune of belonging to a quilting group whose main focus is appliqué and from our combined knowledge, we all benefit and continue to be inspired by one another – bonus, they make me laugh! By the time I finish one of these quilts, I am pretty tired of it. However, I then give it to Carol Darou (long-arm quilter) and she works her magic. I get to love it all over again and can’t wait to finish my next project to hand over to her.

The Prairie Rose Challenge this year was to use Purple and Orange, have something starting with the letter “S” on your quilt, and a size restriction of 18 X 24 inches.

This is Marg’s entry for the challenge – Down by the Lake –

This Prairie Rose 2019 Challenge was inspired by my daughter buying a lake lot. Her hopes are to build a cabin there by a lake. This piece is also my interpretation of a Nancy Zieman’s book Art of Landscapes.

My sunshine and S shaped stone walkway to the lake is a peaceful one. A happy fisher man walks down the path to the canoe for a leisurely afternoon.

I have a fascination with creating urban landscapes using improvisational piecing. This one uses only Ricky Tims hand dyed fabrics. A variety of windows, doors and other geometric shapes were produced and then grouped together by colour. A variety of machine quilting was used to create texture.

Machine pieced and quilted on a domestic machine.

Daydreaming ‘ is a traditional log cabin, done in non traditional soft colours and constructed, using no-tear freezer paper method. It is set in the traditional ‘straight furrow’ arrangement and quilted in a non traditional way. There was no pattern (I drafted the block on EQ7 and printed it onto freezer paper) or quilt that I was using for inspiration. Attention is paid to colour movement to create a ‘Dreamy, Blurred, Effect’ that occurs when you are daydreaming.

I have a collection of tea cups from my mother and grandmother and fell in love with this pattern which reminds me so much of these women who would sit in the shade with their cups of tea and discuss goings on around them. The embroidery, the dresdens, and the hexies were done in the car and/or while vending at quilt shows in the summer of 2018. Free motion quilting and ruler work finished the quilt during the Christmas holidays 2018. –

 The Cow and The Seahorse by Laura Heine
Quilted By:Corry van Haastert

This year we had a tie for the viewer’s choice award but the dilemma was quickly resolved as the tying quilts were both pieced and quilted by Corry van Haastert using Laura Heine patterns.
“Bebe”, the cow, is a gift for Corry’s son who raises cattle. Corry’s daughter challenged her to make it. Corry reports that it is a “one of a kind” and she does not plan to make another like it.
Corry is an innovative quilter who dabbles in many aspects of fibre art. van Haastert – Tisdale Quilters Guild

I had seen this fabric used in a OBW quilt and fell in love with it! I was drawn in by the richness of reds and black. I knew I had to make one of my own. It was definitely an enjoyable challenge and I said at the time it would be OTD – One Time Deal! But, who knows – there may be at least one more in my future!

I had the opportunity to participate in a photo to quilt pictorial appliqué workshop taught by renowned quilt artist, David Taylor. I decided that I must have my beloved Yorkshire Terrier “Charlie” as the subject of my quilt. I selected a great photo, taken by my husband Jim, featuring Charlie next to white geraniums. I created my Charlie quilt from over 200 individual pieces, using a raw edge appliqué technique, and then I free motion quilted. Start to finish lasted over a year, but I’m so pleased with the result and thrilled that others admire it as well.

Maman et moi
J’ai confectionné cette courtepointe pour mon petit fils de deux ans. Il venait de naître lorsque j’ai visité le Salon de l’Association canadienne de la courtepointe 2017 à Toronto. J’y ai trouvé cet amusant patron de Harebrained Happenings. Ce fut des heures de bonheur de trouver les tissus et de confectionner le tout minutieusement, en pensant à lui.

Mommy and Me
I have done this quilt for my grandson, now two years old. He was just borned when I visited Quilt Canada 2017 in Toronto. I have found this funny pattern by Harebrained Happenings. Il was hours of happiness to find fabrics and sew this quilt, thinking of my grandson.

I have always admired the unique beauty of hand appliquéd quilts. I finally decided to do needle turn appliqué and this is my second piece which I call “There is a Chicken in My Garden.” I learned the technique by watching YouTube videos, and used templates from books and magazines to complete my project. I find appliqué to be relaxing and addictive.

 Dance of the Dragonflies by JoAnn Hoffman
Quilted By: Shelley Byers

The inspiration for making this quilt came from my granddaughter who was wishing that her Aunt Sheshie was quilting a purple quilt for her. The pattern was found in a quilt shop in Hawaii and many of the batik fabrics were purchased there. After the piecing process was completed here in Cumberland, the quilt top and backing were given to Aunt Sheshie who did her custom quilting using a Gammill Long Arm machine. This quilt will be presented to my granddaughter after the Arnprior Quilt Show is completed.

This quilt took 3 years to make & is my 3rd wool quilt. I laid out the entire wool quilt top & auditioned many colours before cutting the individual pieces out and pinning them on to make sure the colours were balanced. I then whipped stitched them all on in their correct locations & then did a decorative back stitch along all the pieces. I placed beads where I felt it needed a bit more texture. Wool is a very pleasant medium to work with and is very portable especially when travelling. This quilt doesn’t have a “home” yet but I would be very happy to donate it to a cause where it would raise money for those in need & possibly hang for many people to see, maybe a Childrens Hospital Fundraiser or Womens shelter etc. Wool’s cost is 10X that of cotton which makes this a labour of love and costly endeavour.

I saw this quilt hanging in a quilt store in Arizona in 2014. I decided to make it much larger and also added an extra border of the vines. I enlarged the houses 200% and then had to make larger yo yo’s as I wanted the quilt to reach the floor of my bed. There is a total of 500 hand sewn yo yo’s which I sewed on by hand. This is the heaviest quilt I have ever made due to this number of you yo’s.
