My client Monette sent me this adorable woodland creatures panel quilt. I love the vibe of this quilt, it's sweet but not overly childish. The dusty colours are very calming and I think any little person receiving this quilt is going to be very lucky. This fabric collection is "Wild" by...
I often find myself questioning my quilting style because I draw inspiration from a diverse range of quilts that come into the studio—paper-pieced Quiltworx creations, ultra-modern designs, traditional piecework, and improv art quilts. This variety is what makes my job as a longarm quilter...
Ramona did such an excellent job assembling and appliquing this adorable Santa quilt. I love applique, and these Santa blocks are quite special.

The red and green fabrics that Ramona used for the borders read solid so I knew I...
Although this wasn't a very large project it still took a lot of thinking and planning. Here is the link to the YouTube Video:
Joan in Cranbrook sent me this wall hanging to quilt and the first thing I noticed was the hilarious story the applique scene depicted. ...
I'm not entirely sure what sparked a monster to come into my head when I looked at this quilt. I think it may have been the contrast of the green and bright purple/pink fabrics. It could also have been inspired by the maker of this quilt saying that she loves all the weird stuff in...
Although the premise behind getting a quilt backing to the correct side sounds simple it seems to be a very prevalent problem. Unfortunately, if a quilt backing is smaller than the top it really is in the best interest of the quilt to find a new backing or add more fabric to attain the 4"...

I believed that employing free-motion quilting techniques for these wall hangings was the most suitable approach. The appliques possessed such a natural appearance that I wanted to avoid...
I didn't have to spend a lot of time planning this quilt as I used my Quilter's Block Checklist to come up with some pretty straightforward simple designs. Also because this is a baby quilt I didn't want to quilt too densely. I will admit I may have overdone it with the circles... but...
This quilt is absolutely adorable, I was so happy to open the package Monette sent from Kamloops, BC, and see this cute little quilt staring back at me. This pattern is called Paisley Splash. I had a lot of fun designing this quilt. Monette always does a fantastic job constructing...
As a custom quilter, I sometimes have the tendency to over-quilt things. But most of the quilts that come into my studio are bed quilts (shocker lol). Not every single quilt needs to be a fantastic show-worthy work of art. If you want to watch the video you can find the...
