More Quilts from the Ottawa Show

Congratulations to the Ottawa Valley Quilters' Guild for another wonderful show! Here are a few more pictures for you to enjoy.

 

Festival of Quilts in Ottawa

Just a few pictures of some of the spectacular quilts from the Ottawa Valley Quilters' Guild Show in Ottawa this weekend.

 

New Patterns!

I have just added 2 new patterns to my website.

Fanciful uses a traditional fan design in a unique setting. I used a Stone Strips package for the fans and a black Stonehenge fabric for the border. Both fabrics are from Northcott. The fans are easy to hand-piece and applique, making this a great project to take with you when travelling.

 

Amish Reflections is quick and easy to make. You just need 8 tone-on tone fabrics plus black for the borders.

This spectacular quilt was hanging in the classroom at the Boutique 4 Quilters shop in Melbourne, Florida.

 

A Visit to the Local Quilt Shop

This week I visited one of the local quilt shops in Melbourne, Florida - Boutique 4 Quilters. I was happy to see some patterns from Canadian designers on their pattern wall.

 

Here are 2 of Ursula Riegl's patterns. Ursula is from Victoria, BC.

 

 

Here is Patty Latourell's Spicy Spiral Table Runner pattern. Patty is from the Kemptville, Ontario area and is a fellow guild member of mine at the Thousand Islands Quilter's Guild.

 

 

 This is the sample that was hanging in the shop.

 



Another New Pattern

I have just added another new pattern to my website. The pattern, called Canadian Content, has instructions for a small quilt  48.5" x 23.75 and a large quilt 55" x 70". More details about both quilts can be found here.

The large quilt is the size required for those making a Quilt of Valour and can be easily made by a beginning quilter. You can learn more about Quilts of Valour by clicking here.

The fabrics, shown in both quilts, are from the Oh Canada II collection by Northcott. The fabric will be in quilt stores in May. Click here to find out more about this fabric.

Nine Patch Rails: Another New Pattern



Use 24 fat quarters to make this great scrappy quilt. I used 2 Stonehenge fat quarter rolls: Sandstone and Roasted Almond with 12 fat quarters in each roll.

Visit the Northcott web site for more information about this collection.

 

If you can't wait for the fabric to arrive at your favourite quilt shop, just dig into your stash and create your own special version of this quilt. It's quick and easy to make!
