Teresa's curved log cabin quilt and her beach house wall hanging

Today was the first meeting of the Halton Hills Quilters Guild for 2022-2003 year.  At the moment things are still on zoom.  Hoping to be able to start meeting in person, but that will depend on the outcome of the survey that will be conducted in Nov/Dec.  We had a great speaker today, that won numerous awards at quilt con.  He is a modern quilter, and his work is breathtaking.  I personally think I am a traditional quilter, but I was blown away by all of the quilts he shared during our meeting.  The amount of inspiration was quite frankly overwhelming.  I hope the members can take a bit of this and that to inspire them to add some creativity to there next piece/quilt. I know I was captivated by his work.

This here is a quilt from one of my customers.  She made this gorgeous curved log cabin quilt.  I thought the teal was striking against the bright scraps that is a signature of her quilting style. This was a large quilt with many pieces.  The one side of the log cabin is all done in the one teal coloured fabric, which makes the overall affect of curves with using only straight lines.


Here is a close up of the quilting she chose to do on this quilt.  You also get a great sample of the variety of her scraps used for the other halve of the block.
 

This quilt was entered into the 2022 Milton Fall Fair, and as you can see by the picture below, it won 1st price in one of the categories.  Great job Teresa!!


Teresa also made this beach house quilt, with waves, palm trees and cabanas...lol...plus a pretty sun on the top left hand corner.  Looks great!  This quilt was mostly paper piece. The overall vibe just screams the scene of being down at the beach.


Here is a close up of the cabanas and the palm trees.  I love the palm trees...lol....very different from our deciduous trees and evergreen trees here in Canada.  Teresa decided to have this one quilted with the pattern Seafoam from Urban Elementz.


Congratulations on your first prize for the first quilt and your other prizes you received for your other entries!!  Well done!
