I'm from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, and began quilting in 2003 when I took a class at my LQS to make a quilt for my nephew. It was a flannel rail fence quilt that was tied. This quilt has gone on to quilt heaven because it was loved so much. But my nephew has received many, many more quilts over the years to make up for it.
I started my blog in 2014 -- partly due to the encouragement by a quilt friend and partly because I wanted to win a prize for a quilt along that I wanted to participate in. 😂
You can find quick links for my 2018 finishes in the 2018 Finishes tab. It's too hard to pick a favourite, so I'll just randomly pick a couple to share with you.
This is the Lisa the Unicorn pattern by Elizabeth Hartman. I like working with Kona solids, as you'll be able to see if you take a look around.
I've been trying out some new quilting motifs. I really like the boxy stipple motif that I used on the Digital Wave quilt -- a pattern by Yvonne @ Quilting Jetgirl.
I've been learning EPP, and this is a current project I'm working on. I have to make some decisions on border sizes and colours.
I encourage you to visit some of the other blogs participating. And there's a prize!
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you take a look around my blog. If you are interested, you can follow me through Bloglovin' or by e-mail -- sign up is at the top right-hand sidebar.
I always enjoy your blog! I always want to pull out the solids after seeing what you are up to. ��
ReplyDeleteJust 2014!!! You are such a newbie, Anja. It is easy to forget that because your work is lovely and I have watched you improve your FMQ. And now EPP too. I am impressed and humbled too.
ReplyDeleteI like your style...you've shared some intriguing pieces! Nice to meet you! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your quilts, with a modern twist.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful aunt you are to have made SEW many replacements for your nephew's quilt that went to quilt heaven!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been reading your blog for some time now. Your quilts are truly amazing.
ReplyDeleteI also love working with solids - they really make the quilting shine!!
ReplyDeleteLovely post, Anja! Well done.
ReplyDeleteI love that boxy stipple. Great job! I have made all my 6 nephews small quilts when they were younger and now I am on the second round making them larger ones.
ReplyDeleteLovely to meet a fellow Canuck and I look forward to following along via email.
ReplyDeleteLove your work!
ReplyDeleteThe EPP diamond looks like a work of art in itself. The corner tails add to the design. Nice to meet you and see your work. We've made several trips to Atlantic Canada and love that part of the continent.
ReplyDeleteLove the reason you started a blog! and the quilts are lovely!!
ReplyDeleteI love your Digital Wave quilt Anja - so wonderful.

ReplyDeleteI was glad to see the pop of orange in the final quilt Anja . I was getting worried there for s bit !
ReplyDeleteHi Anja, nice to know you better! Beautiful quilts
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you. I love your English paper piecing projects. It is stunning
ReplyDeleteI love EPP - actually, I love hand sewing. I hope you enjoyed making your tree quilt; sometimes you just have to 'live with it' before making border decisions.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts with lots of solids are lovely--I have not done an all solid one yet, but intend to at some point! Nice to meet you!

ReplyDeleteNice to meet a fellow Canadian on the tour. That smile on your nephew's face says a lot! Enjoyed my visit - thank you for inviting us.
ReplyDeleteThe smile of that little guys face says it all. Nothing better than our quilts getting loved to death! You EPP is absolutely gorgeous! Glad you joined in on the blogging world.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you Anja. You use of the solid fabrics are very nice. I seen to collect fabric from others (alot!) and most of the time they include more prints than solids. I make do with what I have. :)
ReplyDeleteYour quilting on Digital Wave is a super finish, and the thread goes so well with those delightful fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteYour projects are all Super!! My Grangirlie would LOVE the Unicorn! :) Thank you for sharing all your Beautiful creations!
ReplyDeleteThe unicorn pillow is cool. I'm making an EPP with the diamond pieces but turning them into stars using some of my many florals.
ReplyDeleteI've got a few granddaughters that would love that pillow. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of posts I haven't commented on! I love all the pillows and how they're all colour/fabric co-ordinated. Doesn't your guild do a pillow drive for the IWK or something?
ReplyDeleteAnd you do seem to make a lot of progress on all your projects. Keep up the good work!
