NEW PATTERNS - Fabadashery Longarm Quilting

It is always nice to have a few fresh patterns to choose from, so here are my latest additions to the Fabadashery Longarm Quilting library - Finesse, Geode and Shell Game.  Remember with my digital quilting machine I can make these patterns large or small, whatever is best for your quilt.

Natalie's Dance in Paris, Zen Chic Quilt

Natalie's Dance in Paris, Zen Chic Quilt

When I first saw the Moda Zen Chic 'Dance in Paris' quilting fabric range, I fell in love with it.  I have yet to break into my stash, but It seems Natalie did the same and made this lovely quilt using all the different fabrics in the collection.

To finish it off, Natalie chose the 'Nightlight' longarm quilting pattern, designed by Patricia Ritter an Marybeth O'Halloran.

Helen's Underground Railroad Quilt - Traditional Sampler

Helen's Underground Railroad Quilt

One of the pleasures of being a longarm quilter is that you never know what quilt is coming next.  This time it was Helen's traditional sampler quilt, taken from the book ' Underground Railroad Quilt' written by Eleanor Burns and Sue Bouchard.  Each block has a story behind it relating to the slave trade in America.  Sampler quilts usually have a lot going on, with several contrasting colours and different shapes.  On these occasions, the quilting pattern needs to take a back seat and let the blocks shine.

For Helen's Underground Railroad Quilt, we used 'Bird's Eye View' quilting pattern by Barbara Becker, one of my go to patterns when you don't want anything too busy.  It looked great on the back of the quilt too.
