Welcome Baby Tanner
I love this modern twist on a baby quilt for a boy. It was quilted use white glide thread and pantograph Malachite.
Scarlet Glory
Now that the 2023 CQA show is over I can share pictures of my quilts that were juried into the show. This is “Scarlet Glory” 35×23. It was inspired by a painting by Canadian Landscape artist Brigitte Gratton. I am so grateful that she generously allowed me to use her beautiful art as my muse. It was made with hand cut pieces of raw edge appliqué and extensive thread play.
I just found out that it has been juried the 2023 International Quilt & Fiber Festival in Washington.
New Charity Quilt
Our guild makes baby and children’s quilts and donates them to a local women’s shelter. This is my latest donation. I wanted something colourful and cheerful. I hope the child who gets it feels comforted by it.
Quilts of Valour
I really enjoyed quilting this top. I just let my imagination run wild and the thread flow.
Best of Quilting in Canada
In 2021 I made this art quilt of Lucy (Edmonton Valley Zoo) and I entered it into the Canadian Quilters Association (CQA) national juried show. I was thrilled to learn that it was juried into the 2021 CQA Show. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the in-person show was cancelled and replaced with a virtual show so I never got the opportunity to see it hang on the show floor.
This summer I received at email from CQA informing me that they were compiling a selection of juried entries into a “Best of Quilting in Canada”collection and they wanted to include my piece. The quilts would be exhibited in the New England Quilt Museum (NEQM) in Lowell, Massachusetts, from January 17 to May 9, 2023. Needless to say, I was shocked and thrilled.
All of the selected quilts are also featured in the 2023 spring edition of Canadian Quilters Magazine.
Batik Beauty
Shirley made this colourful batik quilt for her sister. Her sister loves bright colours and picked all the fabrics herself. Shirley gave me free rein to quilt it as I please. I did a lot of dense quilting around the appliqué and quilted each border differently.
Liam’s Shark Quilt
Janice made this lovely quilt for her Grandson. I custom quilted a water/wave motif all over it.
SDDA National Challenge Cup
This is a quilt I made and donated to the Sporting Detection Dog Association’s 1st National Challenge Cup. I had fun doing all the custom quilting in the negative space.
Cameron’s 3rd Birthday Quilt
This is a very special quilt for a very special boy. I used black Glide thread and the Bauhaus pantograph (because it reminded me of how a small boy drives his toy cars on the floor). I don’t know if he is going to use the quilt on his bed or on the floor to play on, but it looks like he likes it.
