Client Quilt - Bravo Indigo

This is "Bravo Indigo", created by an amazing client. She is a pretty new quilter and she has a fantastic artistic eye for colour and shape. She created this quilt as a thank you to a co-worker and friend. The "Bravo Indigo" pattern is from Caroline Greco for Michael Miller Fabrics - it is a free download. Here is the original colouration ... It's spectacular in the original and in my client's version, absolutely amazing! Here's the full quilt. In preparing to make this gift, she managed a conversation around finding out her friend's favourite colours - black, red and grey. The fabrics are very rich red and deep black solids, and one of Libs Elliot's Tattooed North, Charcoal Cobwebs. The geometrics in this print were inspirations for the quilting. Quilting was all straight lines and arcs. We wanted the red to really stand out so there is no quilting in the red, only echo lines around the red. We used H

Plaid-ish Wedding Quilts

Shortly after announcing their engagement, my son and his fiancée asked if I would consider making quilts for their attendants. As recipients of quilts themselves over the years, and subjected to many displays of new quilts as they were being made or just completed, they know my passion and the joy it brings, for the entire process of making a quilt.

We selected the quilt design "Plaid-ish" from Kitchen Table Quilting . There are five quilts - they had two attendants each, and one for the bride & groom. There is Scots heritage on both the bride and groom families, so the quilt pattern seemed a perfect fit. Plaid-ish test quilt Being a tester of process for much of my career, I created a “proof of concept” quilt to be sure I understood how the quilt was pieced and to find efficiencies to make mult

Turnabout Patchwork - X's and O's

Squee!! Allow me to introduce you to "X's and O's". This quilt is one of the quilts from Teresa Mairal Barreu's new book, "Turnabout Patchwork". You can see her announcement post here . If you're looking for the book to purchase, Teresa has a link on that page. The premise for Teresa's book is making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops. Her book is well done, with excellent instructions and illustrations. Lots of inspiration! There is a giveaway ... be sure to check out this full post for details! For details on the blog hop, head here ... I adore working with stripes, so the projects I selected to work with for the Blog Hop use striped fabrics really effectively. The fabrics for this quilt are from Stache Fabric & Notions , they are some gorgeous Art Gallery Fabrics. The v
