FMQ Feather Flower from I Patch and Quilt

Are you looking for an elegant free motion edge to edge design for your quilt project? Try Feather Flower!

The gorgeous Feather flower design moves in every direction and starts with a shape that you may have tried before: the feather with a pearl. I used this shape a couple of weeks ago in ‘Bubble Wave’.

After the feather with pearl, you stitch two more feathers and add a final leaf shape that can fill any area that needs to be filled. The leaf can go on either side of your stitched ‘branch’.

It looks really well on this red ...

Foxes and Bunnies in Bed from Night Owl Quilting

Reneta is a new grandma to twins and she had to make them each a special quilt. The quilts are part of of a three in one pattern from Sew Fresh Quilts called "Bears, Foxes and Bunnies in Bed." Reneta and I don't often get to shop together in person since we no longer live in the same area, but when she was visiting me, we went to see Jennifer at Needle Craft and Studio in Beausejour to pick fabric for these quilts.

Reneta immediately fell in love with the rainbow print and Jennifer helped Reneta pull complimentary fabrics ...

Stellar Mosaic from Night Owl Quilting

This fabulous quilt was made by Cindy. The pattern is called Stellar Mosaic by Cotton and Joy and the kit was curated for Cindy by Jennifer at Needle Crafts and Studio in Beausejour, Manitoba. Sometimes when a quilt arrives in my studio it tells me that it would be extra special with some custom quilting. This was one of those quilts. Cindy told me to surprise her. After thinking about things for a while I sent Cindy some doodles and she told me to go for it.

The first area that I came up with a plan for was the ...

Cindy's Wonderful Woodland from Night Owl Quilting

Cindy made this fabulous Wonderful Woodland quilt as a gift for a baby that will be arriving soon to friends in Japan. What a perfect choice to send a little bit of Canada over to a new baby from its "Canadian Grandma".

I did my freehand woodgrain quilting pattern as I love the texture it adds and I like to plan my stitchhing path to avoid stitching through any cute little eyeballs!

Cindy chose a lovely grey fireside for the backing and this is a super sweet and cuddly quilt.

I also had the opportunity to quilt up this stunning ...

Dinorama T-rex on Roller Skates from Night Owl Quilting

I had so much fun adding a little custom quilting to Cindy's Dinorama quilt. The pattern is fun design from Art Eat Quilting Co.

Cindy and I couldn't find a pantograph that we really liked so Cindy gave me the go ahead for some custom quilting. I can honestly say I haven't quilted reptile skin before!

I stitched in the ditch around the dinosaurs and the features like their eyes and teeth.

The topographical freehand pattern seemed like the perfect idea for the linen background.

Bold and Beautiful from Night Owl Quilting

I had the privilege of quilting this beauty for Barb. The top was pieced by Anne Reimer, who sadly has passed away, and Anne's friends and family are working to get her quilt treasures complete.

All of the colouful fabrics in the quilt's body and the applique border are hand dyes that Anne did herself.

The top really didn't need me to do anything to make it beautiful, so Barb and I opted for the "less is more" approach. Barb selected the Raindrops pantograph for the body of the quilt.

For the outer border I stitched around ...
