West Hawk from Night Owl Quilting

Barb made her take on the West Hawk quilt from The Blanket Statement as a gift for a friend.

The range of Art Gallery Pure Sold fabrics that Barb selected is very pretty. Barb chose the Windswept pantograph for a lovely finish. Sometimes deciding on a thread color is the hardest decision. We opted for a cream thread that matched the accent pieces in the pattern.

I do love the texture that the Windswept pattern adds to this quilt.

MPQ Mystery from Night Owl Quilting

Val made this quilt as part of a mystery quilt sew along offered through the Manitoba Prairie Quilters earlier this year. The pattern was designed by one of the MPQ members - Kathy Paul.

Val chose the Windswept pantograph. I love the movement that it adds across the sharp lines of the piecing. We used a charcoal grey thread that doesn't draw attention away the great piecing and beautiful colours of the fabric.

Have you ever participated in a mystery quilt project? I have done a few- some I’ve loved, some I’ve changed to make me happier. It ...

Hockey Jersey #2 from Night Owl Quilting

This is the second quilt that Cathy made with her grandson's hockey jerseys. You can see the first one here. This is quite a heavy quilt as it is big enough to cover my queen size bed and has a cozy plush backing as well.

The Windswept pantograph was a hit on the first smaller quilt, so we repeated the design on the one. This is such a special memory that I'm sure will be treasured for many many years to come.

Horse Barn Quilt from Night Owl Quilting

Tanis put together this lovely Horse Barn quilt for her mom. The pattern was designed by Daine McGregor of Castilleja Cotton for the Sun Up to Sun Down Digital Panel by Hoffman Fabrics.

Tanis requested a light density pantograph, and after showing her some suggestions she decided that Windswept was the choice.

The coazy fireside backing always shows off the quilting and makes for such a warm quilt.

Hockey Jersey Quilt from Night Owl Quilting

When Cathy asked me if I would be able to quilt a quilt made of hockey jerseys, I didn't really know the answer. I hadn't tried anything like this, but my Innova is an industrial machine with a 1 HP motor, so I was willing to give it a try. Cathy brought me some scraps from the jerseys and crests and name badges that didn't make it into the quilt. I tested it out and it went smoothly so I was happy to tackle the quilt.

These jerseys all belonged to Cathy's grandson so this quilt ...

Penguin Party from Night Owl Quilting

Leslie made this absolutely fabulous Penguin Party quilt. The pattern is from Elizabeth Hartman and Leslie supersized this into a generous Queen Size by using 56 penguin blocks,

Leslie chose the Windswept pantograph that provides a nice even design that compliments the penguins without competing with them.

Leslie opted to have the binding added by my associate Marion, and the black frames it very nicely.

I am happy to have a high ceiling and a willing quilt holding husband to be able to get a full picture of this one!

Lone Star from Night Owl Quilting

Susan made this pretty Lonestar quilt for her granddaughter, who chose the fabrics herself. All the shades from the butterfly batik border were pulled out for the star and the background making a really cohesive and attractive quilt.

Susan chose the Windswept pantograph for a simple finish that lets the star shine.

Susan really did a great job putting this one together. The center where all those seams converge laid flat and didn't require any extra attention from me. Lone Star are notorious for needing a little extra longarmer love, but not this time!

Juxtaposition from Night Owl Quilting

Wendy loves buying and sewing with batiks - a women after my own heart. She dug into her scraps and stash to pull out these jewel tone fabrics to make this rich quilt. The pattern is called Juxtaposition and was design by Amy of Blue Underground Studios. The pattern is available as a free download from All People Quilt.

We decided a nice curving pantograph would be a nice compliment to the simple straight lines of the piecing. Windswept was the choice of the day with a dark teal Magnifico thread.

Wendy brought a mottled teal Fireside for the backing which ...

Flea Market Flowers from Night Owl Quilting

My pictures do not do this beautiful quilt justice. Marlene hand appliqued this Flea Market Flowers quilt. The pattern is from Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet.

This is the second hand appliqued quilt that Marlene requested an edge to edge finish on. She chose the Windswept pantograph that adds a simple finish. I wasn't sure how I would feel about an edge to edge pattern over hand applique but I was really pleased with the end result.

This last photo is more true to the actual colours of the quilt in person.

Audrey's Panel One Block Wonder from Night Owl Quilting

This festive quilt was made by Audrey. This version of a One Block Wonder is made with a total of 7 of the same panel. One panel is left whole, which you see in the center of the quilt, and the remaining six panels are turned into the hexagon blocks.

It is always interesting to see all the unique blocks that are created with this technique.

Audrey selected the Windswept pantograph and a pretty gold Magnifico thread that adds just the right amount of shine.

Audrey also had a very pretty coordinate for the backing.

A really unique and dynamic ...

Botanist Home Quarter from Night Owl Quilting

Shalane made this beautiful warm quilt using the Botanist collection by Katarina Roccella for Art Gallery Fabrics. The border fabric is from the Seasons of Tribute, Roots of Nature collection.

The pattern is a favorite from Highway 10 Designs - Home Quarter.

Shalane chose the Windswept pantograph for a lovely finish that doesn't' compete with any of the beautiful prints.

$3.31 Quilt from Night Owl Quilting

I followed along with a mystery quilt that was sponsored by the Canadian Quilters Association over the last few months. The pattern was free to members. The pattern is called the $3.31 quilt and was designed by John at Art East Quilting Company. The name comes from the fact that the images are those depicted on the Canadian coins that total $3.31.

I didn't use the suggested fabrics, but rather bought the blue denim Northcott canvas for the background and picked the rest of the fabrics from my stash. I was happy to still have some of ...

Laura's Halloween Quilt from Night Owl Quilting

Laura brought me her first quilt that is made with some really cool Halloween prints. She made this quilt for her daughter.

The print with the blue background has some cool spider web, skulls and moths hidden among the flowers.

Laura and her daughter selected the windswept pantograph for the quilting and the shiny black Magnifico thread.

Two for Fern and Binding Services from Night Owl Quilting

Fern sent two lovely quilt tops that were pieced by her sister who lives in another province. Fern wanted to help get these quilts across the finish line. I was happy to do the quilting and send them on to my associate for binding - more on that later.

Fern prefers lighter quilting so I tried to choose pantographs that weren't too dense. The sage green quilt received the Mimosa pantograph.

This pretty blue quilt received the Windswept pantograph which really has become one of my go to favorites.

Both of Fern's quilts were returned with completed binding. I ...

Lorenda's Sampler from Night Owl Quilting

Lorenda brought this lovely jewel toned sampler. She wasn't sure if she wanted an all over design or custom quilting so we discussed both options.

The final decision was to add a simple all over design. Many of the seams within the sampler blocks were pressed open which makes custom quilting, specifically stitching in the ditch more challenging. I think the Windswept pantograph recedes nicely into the background and lets the piecing be the star of this quilt. Less is more on this one.

Pair of Simply Dashing Quilts from Night Owl Quilting

Reneta made these great Canadian themed quilts for the exchange students that have been staying with her this past year. The pattern she used is Simply Dashing from Highway 10 Designs. The fabrics are from the Northcott's Stonehenge Collection- Oh Canada 10.

Reneta selected the Windswept pantograph for both quilts.

The second quilt uses a fabric from Northcott's Canvas line for the background of the quilt.

These quilts will be a great memory of their time in Canada and their host mom who is a talented quilter.

Modern Thinking from Night Owl Quilting

Wendy made this gorgeous batik quilt using a pattern called Modern Thinking from Blue Underground Studios. Wendy just pulled all these fabrics together from her stash, as like me she has a soft spot for batiks.

Wendy selected the Windswept pantograph and a lovely deep turquoise Magnifico thread called Lilly Pond #2136. I love the sheen of the Magnifico thread against the waxy batiks.

And to finish it off Wendy supplied a beautiful turquoise Fireside backing that shows off the quilting so well.

Urban Legend from Night Owl Quilting

This beautiful quilt was made by Audrey. The pattern is called Urban Legend by A Quilter's Dream.

When I first saw this quilt, my first thought was what thread choice would look good across the whole quilt? Then after looking at the layout I had a bit of a different idea that I proposed to Audrey - a different thread color for each of the three sections of the quilt. I also suggested some different pantographs that were well suited to this idea.

Audrey chose the Windswept pantograph and gave me the go ahead for my three thread idea. Truly ...

3 Batik Beauties from Night Owl Quilting

Batik quilts don't seem to come into my studio very often these days, so as a Batik lover deep at heart I was thrilled when Wendy brought these three batik beauties by. First up is the fun Jelly Roll Race quilt in a beautiful color palette.

When chose the Gingersnap pantograph and we used a turquoise thread on the top and on the back. I love how the quilting shows up on the fireside backing.

Next up is the gorgeous "Emerald Forest" quilt that comes from the book "Inspired by Bali" in a palette of brown batiks with more ...
