When I heard my grandson was getting married, I wanted to make him a quilt. When I saw Judy Niemeyer’s pattern Flowers for My Wedding Ring I knew I had found the pattern because the groom likes patchwork and the bride likes applique. I couldn’t find the particular bali pops that were mentioned in the pattern (until after the quilt was done) so I chose my own colours. This is the first quilt I have had professionally quilted and it was done by Mary Light of Lightly Quilted in Shelburne. I am very happy with the job she did. Her work really “makes” the quilt.

The story is that my husband and I were traveling in the USA and decided to look at quilt books while having a coffee. I was actually looking for something completely different but Danny saw a photo of the quilt and asked me if I would make that for him. It was a little daunting when I considered the amount of solid space that needed to be quilted but I could not resist his request. Two and a half years later Danny’s quilt was completed

My sister and I went to Kenya in 2014. I always purchase fabrics on my travels to make myself a quilt and she asked if I would make her one too. She always buys artwork with people in it, so I had to incorporate them into the pattern.
99% of the fabrics used in the top are ‘Kanga’ fabric purchased on our trip. Kangas are the colorful cloth that the women use as clothing. The ladies are all wearing actual kanga fabric. One Maasai warrior (top left), is wearing a piece of Maasai ‘shuka’, the colorful red plaid blankets that they wear. He also sports some traditional Maasai beading.
On the back are 4″ paper pieced animals – just some of the animals that we saw as well as a batik that she purchased.
This was a project of true love of Kenya and its people.
My sister received this quilt for Christmas while I still do not have a ‘Kenya’ quilt! I loved this one so much that I can’t come up with an idea that will live up to this one.

The “Log Cabin with Stars” quilt was created with help from Eleanor Burns “Quilt in a Day” series but using narrower strips. I inserted stars for additional interest. The stars are the traditional Saw Tooth Star pattern. The border was created to use up leftovers and to make the quilt bigger! The quilt is reversible with a log pattern on the back using some leftover blocks. The finished set of the Log Cabins are in the Barn Raising Design. I tried to keep the colour palette such that no colour stands out too prominently.

When Cathy’s son announced wedding plans earlier this year, she set to work on a special gift for the couple. She chose an Edyta Sitar pattern called Spring Bouquet and a selection of batiks from the Edyta Sitar Laundry Basket collection. She began working in early March on the appliqued blocks and border. Each tiny piece of fabric was needle-turned and sewn to the background with barely visible stitches. In July, the quilt was assembled and sent to be top-quilted by Penny Bubar of Fredericton, NB. Cathy’s exquisite needlework and color choices have made each block beautiful in itself and yet part of a harmonious whole. A unique and beautiful gift!

My husband is from Holland and we visited there a few years ago. We saw
lots of blue and white dishes, crockery, tiles etc. So when I saw the quilt pattern, it reminded me of my visit and I thought my husband would enjoy it as well. (He does.) It was a joy to make, a little long in my estimation to complete but I am so glad I did. It looks wonderful folded on the back of my family room sofa and might make it onto the wall one day.

The jacket was made from a pattern by “Figure Flattering Quiltwear” called “Midnight Glacier” bargello jacket.
Because of my passion for quilting and my background in clothing, this seemed like a great project and so I started collecting fabric for this jacket several years ago but there were two key colours I felt were missing. It’s taken me almost three years to find these elusive fabrics.
The results, however, have been worth the wait, I absolutely love the jacket and have received many favourable comments when I’ve worn it.
