Skating Party


Here is the second pattern we designed with Northcott's Snow Day fabric - this one is called "Skating Party" and uses the panel as the centre of the quilt. We just LOVE this one too and will have it available on our website very soon. The fabrics will be available in quilt shops this spring/summer.

Snowed In

One of the latest Northcott lines Nellie and I have designed with is "Snow Days". We liked this line of fabric SO much that we designed two different patterns. Here are a couple of the fabrics in the new line:


And here is our quilt pattern - "Snowed In". We are just in the midst of writing and printing the pattern. It will be available on our website very soon!

Mod Garden fabrics have arrived!!

A couple weeks ago, we got a large box in the mail from Northcott - full of fabrics!! It contained both the Mod Garden line with with we designed our pattern "Flower Power" and the Jungle babies flannel line. I just couldn't wait to make something with the Mod Garden fabrics - and decided that it needed some wool applique too.
I got out my pink and green wools and all of the flower dies that I have for my AccuCut machine and GOT TO WORK! The only problem with the AccuCut machine is that it is SO easy to cut the shapes - I go a little overboard with the number...
BUT, I did manage to fit ALL of those flowers and leaves on my quilt - now I just have to stitch all of those down!

Nellie's Country Rose Garden

Here is the second quilt that I quilted for Nellie - her version of our pattern "Country Rose Garden". I decided to do big flowers, leaves and swirls all over the top - I think

it turned out quite nice. That pattern is also now available on our website: http://www.uppercanadaquiltworks.com/uppercanadaquiltworkspublishingco/pages/patterns.html

Little Tricksters

I told Nellie one day that I didn't have any quilts waiting to be quilted, so she gave me two quilt tops to do for her! This one is our "Little Tricksters" pattern - made with fabrics from Northcott. This fabric line is so cute - it's no wonder the quilt turned out fantastic! The pattern is available on our website: http://www.uppercanadaquiltworks.com/uppercanadaquiltworkspublishingco/pages/patterns.html.
