Favourite Haunts

Back in the summer, Patti Carey at Northcott Fabrics sent us some digital images of their next Halloween fabric lines and asked us to design a couple quilts for them. This week they called to say that one of the fabric lines will be arriving soon and to start publishing the pattern. This is our newest pattern and it is called "Favourite Haunts". It will be available in Quilt shops and on our website http://www.uppercanadaquiltworks.com/uppercanadaquiltworkspublishingco/index.html soon!

Sherwood Park Manor's Butterfly Quilt - All DONE!

I finally finished quilting the Sherwood park Manor quilt, and took it to my last guild meeting for Show and Tell. Here is a picture of the quilt with some of the members who helped to make butterlfy blocks.

Here is a close-up of the quilt (with Pugsley in front) and a couple of the blocks to show the quilting on the different butterflies. I handed the quilt over to the Manor a couple days later - everyone was very pleased with the end result!

Quilt #4

Last Sunday, since we didn't get to go to Toronto and Mike was sick on the couch all day, I managed to quilt this big star quilt for Elizabethann. She made it following a pattern in one of the Fons and Porter magazines and it is a birthday present for her grandson. I had fun doing this one as there were lots of big areas to fill in using different motifs - I think it turned out quite nice!

Quilt #3

Later that week, when I was home with Aidan all day when he was sick, I managed to quilt this doozy for Donna at Taylor's - another shop sample, but this one was HUGE - 98" x 88"! I told Donna that she should try to make smaller shop samples!! It is made using Northcott fabrics. The reason it only took one day to quilt is that Donna just wanted a large meander across the whole quilt top - it took no time at all!

Quilt #2

The second quilt I did that afternoon was this shop sample for Taylor Sewing Centre. All I did was a daisy chain down each row, which made the quilting go super fast!! Donna was very happy with and super surprised that it was done so fast!
