The leaves have certainly hit their peak, here in Central Ontario.

I am surprised that there are still alot of leaves left on the trees and

I do not see alot of the vibrant red color this year. The main color

seems to be the orangey yellow color. What about in your area?

What is the dominant color this year? It makes me wonder what

factors contribute to the colors of the trees each year?

Well, I had better get on with this quilting blog.

This lovely quilt was stitched with an overall design called “Maple Syrup.”

A white Omni polyester thread was used for the front and the back.

Look at how vibrant the colors are in this quilt. Feathers were stitched all

over the quilt top. A cream Omni polyester thread was used as well.

Barb”s Celtic Quilt is really beautiful.

Barb wanted to keep the quilting fairly simple so as to not distract from all

of her lovely work.

So I added alot of straight lines in the sashing area and a cable in the outer

border. Because the theme of this quilt was “Celtic,” I thought that the

quilting should follow that theme as well. That means that feathers would

not compliment this quilt, in my mind. However, with that being said, if you

like or want feathers on your quilt, go ahead. It all depends on your own

personal perference.

Pebbles were quilted in the main colored areas of the blocks and swirls

were quilted in the white background areas. Background fills always

stump me. In the end, I usually come up with something.

Now, doesn’t that sound reassuring to you out there. One thing

that I have noticed in the 14 years that I have been longarm quilting, is that

each custom quilt takes time to assess and create its own unique design.

I really never considered design to be a part of quilting before I began

doing this, but it is. It’s fun and challenging some days. Other days, it

becomes easier, much like any other practice. One gets better at it with

lots of practice.

Have a good week and stay safe.

I know that Thanksgiving is over and there is still some turkey leftovers but

I had to wish everyone a Canadian Thanksgiving.

Linda made these quilts using eyelet fabric. They make quite interesting

quilting texture. Because the eyelet fabric has holes in it, a piece of cotton is

added on top of the batting but underneath the quilt top. I used a white

polyester thread for the top and a light blue for the backing.

How do you like the gallery of photos? I am trying out my new layout for

the WordPress blog. I think that I may like this after all.

This is another quilt made by Linda, made out of eyelet fabric. I like the

texture that is created when you stitch over the eyelet fabric.

How do you like those soccer balls? I just realized that this quilt has initials

on it. Isn’t that funny? I didn’t notice that while I was working on it.

For all those Canadians out there, I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving.

We have alot to be thankful for . Enjoy the nice weather and have a good

week.

It has been a crazy three months for me. Lots of people are

quilting due to Covid and Northcott seems to be busy

creating online releases.

Nathalie made this quilt for her daughter. She wanted zig zag lines to

co-ordinate with her bedroom decor.

Im hoping that her daughter liked her quilt. I used a white Omni polyester

thread for the top and the backing.

I can’t recall who made this quilt but it certainly does eat up the scraps you

have hanging around.A swirly design was quilted all over the top.

Joan makes alot of scrappy quilts for charity. She is a very generous person.

The backing fabric is really cute and pink, with hearts as well.

Here is another quilt that Joan made. I love the simplicity of it and all the colors too.

I quilted “Happy Times” all over this quilt. It stitches out fast and looks great.

I hope that you are keeping safe.

WordPress has released a new platform for writing my blog. It is a bit

challenging but I am hoping to get used to it.

What are you learning during Covid?

See you next week.
