Rebecca

Rebecca is another quilter who made it her business to finish up many of her UFO's.





She must have an enormous amount of oriental fabrics, as these 3 quilts had an oriental theme going on!



I think all 3 quilts come from the book 9-Patch Pizzazz.




We chose to do all-over designs, the first one was Oriental Clouds.




The second quilt is a lap-sized one for Rebecca's Mom, and the pattern across it was called Rosie.






















The 3rd quilt was stitched with "Papillon", you can see the butterflies dancing across it.

Makes me want to start collecting oriental fabrics, now that I know what I can do with them!

Valerie

Valerie married off her second daughter this summer, and made this special quilt for the young couple to cuddle under.

It was done in flannels with a snowflake theme going on, which could also be interpreted as stars (when used in the warmer months!)

I love the blues and soft yellows, another quilt I would have liked to keep! We chose a pantograph called "Flurry", designed by Lisa Thiessen.

Audrey

Audrey made this quilt to keep! It is important to make one for yourself once in a while!

If you look closely you can see that the floral fabric is somewhat Christmassy with holly leaves, yet the quilt doesn't scream out "Christmas". She could keep this one on her bed all year round!

Again, we chose Hobbs Polydown for the batting, and it quilted up beautifully.

Joy

Joy made this Marti Michell block-of-the-month quilt several years ago when I was teaching this class at our local quilt shop.

It was one of many UFO's hidden under Joy's bed!

We chose Hobbs Polydown batting, which I find nice and puffy without the stiffness.

"Drifting Leaves"
is the allover pattern stitched across it.

I have one of these BOM's hanging up in my own closet! Maybe it is time to git'r done!

Guild Raffle Quilt

Our local guild made up an artsy raffle quilt. The pattern is from Cozy Quilt Designs and they had used a wonderful array of batik fabrics. The quilt is described as very "organic", having a "woodsy" feel to it.

We chose an all-over pattern, called "Butterfly", done in variegated threads. My own interpretation of the quilt is "woodland spirits".

The quilt was raffled off in September at our quilt show, so now resides with a lucky Nelsonite!

Tuula's Quilts

I did a couple of quilts for Tuula last spring. The first one is a small Tea-Time quilt made with Debbie Mumm fabrics. The stitching shows up on a part of the backing.

The second one is a log cabin. It really stumped me as to how to quilt it, but once I took a photo of it and viewed it from a distance, I could see a figure 8 emerge, and so that is how I quilted it. I first stitched out the shape of the 8, then filled the area in with a fern-like vine.

I am thankful that all quilts are not the same, and each one can be a challenge and an opportunity for growth! I am quite pleased with the way this one turned out.

Ribbon Dance again

I did another ribbon Dance panto on Diane's quilt.

She made it for her daughter Kerry. It is a BQ pattern from Maple Island Quilts and Cathy from Heart N' Soul (Grand Forks) helped to pick out the fabrics.

Again, I just love red, black and white! And the oriental flavour! Adore the keyboard backing!
