St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick August 2012 Just a quick pop in from beautiful St. Andrew's-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick to share a quilt made by a friend of mine, Robin Tilsworth. Those who have been following along for awhile know that I spoke at my guild in June about the online quilt world and modern quilting. I was blown away when Robin emailed me in early July with this completed top below. I had shared my Modern Block Monday blocks and the book 99 Modern Block, in which this…

the quilts are laid out and ready to be sewn

As promised a tutorial for my latest finish...the Rainbow Quilt. The daughter of a dear friend of my mom's had a baby boy in May and in my book babies = quilt. So I got to work on this little quilt..I hope she likes it! As the mother is a school teacher I thought what better than a quilt with all the colours of the rainbow...ah yes, you bright spark at the back might notice I forgot indigo...well creative license I'm afraid as a) indigo isn't a easy colour to source and b) having 7 colours…

the instructions for how to make an origami quilt with squares and triangles on it

Please use flying geese of any size and in any order for this month’s row/strip.. Remember I said you are the “leader” of your strip show. If you choose to let me lead, this month the directions I followed are in this newsletter. 7 Each strip/row can be a different width, but they will all need to be the same length. For this to happen I’ve chosen to add a piece of cream fabric to each end of the strip/row and on each side of the strip. I will use this extra fabric when I’ve finished all the…

two quilts that are laying on top of each other

My customer Christabel has made the following Snowflake Medallion Quilt which I recently had the pleasure of quilting. Snowflake Medallion is a design by Emma and Pam Jansen which involves both piecing and applique - I am sure you will agree that Christabel has done a fabulous job. I had lots of fun quilting this quilt and incorporated lots of feathers and loops. I do particularly love the centre of this quilt and have surrounded the centre applique design with a wreath of feathers and…

the quilt pattern is shown in grey and white, with three triangles on each side

While checking out one of the blogs I follow, Civil War Quilts, I follow this blog so I can draw the blocks in EQ 7. While there I saw a quilt with this wonderful Double Flying Geese border. Scroll to the bottom of that post. The quilter is Lois O and this is her link. Of course this border intrigued me. When I saw her drawing I thought I can draw this in EQ 7. I did but to be honest I had to draw it first on graph paper, and then it was easy! Shape Tool So here is a little tutorial to draw…

four squares with numbers on them and the number 1 to 3 in each square is shown

Happy Saturday! Yesterday when I posted my rainbow geese sneak peek, I had several people comment and email me about how to I got my perfect points. I think most people traditionally piece their flying geese (and I have instructions for how to do that on my Radiant Splendor block tutorial ). Whe
