quilt shows recap

 Four quilt shows in six weeks is a lot. 

But it was so much fun!

In May we had a booth at the Boundary Bay quilt show and the Langley quilt show. 

We kicked June off with a quilt show in Parksville. It was there first show since 2019 and it  was amazing.

Next up was Quilt Canada in Edmonton Alberta. This was such a great show and it was fantastic to finally meet quilters I've only chatted with online.

And now we can kick back and enjoy summer before our fall shows. 

You'll find us September 28 and 29th in Canmore Alberta, 

October18 and 19th at the Chilliwack Quilt show and lastly,

November 2n and 3rd at the Summerhill Winery for the Kelowna Quilt show.

 Hi!!!

I made this quilt probably close to a year ago to be a sample for kits I wanted to make. And I didn't. Why, I have no idea because the quilt is so, so lovely.

This is the Vintage Lace pattern by Lo & Behold Stitchery.

This is the smallest(baby) size, it measures 48x48.

And it contains 320 2.5inch squares. 

320.

quilted with Paisley Max

I absolutely love how the two colour version is so soft and yet so striking.

I darkened the picture so you can see the piecing better.

I had just enough pieces of this backing to use for backing.

I had just enough of the grey left for the binding. 

And now that it's done, I'm thinking of making this again in the modern version. 

Stay tuned!

confession time

 I see a lot of custom quilts for longarming. And I haven't been keeping the greatest record of the pictures I take of quilts. As a result, I have SO MANY pictures of quilts that I have no idea of who quilted what.

So I'm going to be posting some of those quilts. And if one is yours or you recognize someone's work, please let me know so I can credit them. 

Enjoy the show and tell!

Who doesn't love a good sampler quilt? 

The colours in this are so calming.

quilted with a meander

I love the colours in this one.

quilted with Contempo

If memory serves me right, this cutie was pieced by Melody.

quilted with Floral Meander

I think her aunt had embroidered these blocks years ago and Melody worked them into the quilt.

I think Maxine pieced this one.

I love when the quilting jazzes up a simple quilt.

quilted with Contempo

I know Faye pieced these next two.

quilted with a meander.

They were graduation quilts for her nieces.

quilt show

 This past weekend kicked off the start of the quilt show season for us. I was a vendor at the Boundary Bay Quilt Guild's show. 

Here's how we set up the booth.

quilt monday

With being in eight(!!) quilt shows this year, I've been working hard behind the scenes to make new store samples.

This quilt I've now made a few times(one was a Christmas version). This version came about as I as moving some fabrics around and inspiration struck.

quilted with Contempo

This is the Bird's Hill quilt by The Blanket Statement. I was inspired by the Kona's. These are the Kona colour of the year fabrics for 2021, 2022 and 2023 and I think they work perfectly together.

It's funny how in the pictures you can't see that the background is a low volume white.

I somehow ended up with 3 extra blocks and meant to piece them into the backing.

In my excitement to get the quilt quilted, I completely forgot about them.

I think my favourite part of this entire quilt is the striped binding.

It's the perfect finishing touch.

If you are interested, I do still have some kits available for this quilt. You can find them here or if you are just interested in the pattern, that is available here.

Happy Monday!

quilt monday

 This has quickly become one of my favourite baby quilt patterns. You may recall that I have made this exact quilt at least one other time; I've made a few other colour versions as well. It's a fun one!

quilted with Laurie

This is the free pattern from Dear Stella, Dreamtopia. You can find the pattern here .

It's a great pattern, goes together quickly and I love how you can highlight some of your favourite prints.

I loved how the light was laying in this picture. 

I've since made another of these all in pastels and it's amazing how different the quilts look from each other.

I used the print from the star points as the binding. 

Finishes off the quilt just right.

As always, a cuddly flannel for the backing.

Happy Monday!
