So here is my pull for week one of the #bigskystarqal by @plainsandpines. Going to be trying to a kind of black hole effect in the center of the quilt and having the lightest color blend in to the background. We shall see how this goes #MenWhoSew #MenWhoQuilt #bigskystarquilt #ModernQuilting #Mqg #MtlMqg #CanadianQuilter #CanadianMqc

Yay!! Long weekend win! Finally got my @violetcraft Barn Owl Epp done! Now to quilt it up with my already finished Lion and make some pillows! #MenWhoSew #MenWhoQuilt #epp #EnglishPaperPiecing #ModernQuilting #Mqg #MtlMqg #CanadianMqc #CanadianQuilter

A dark rainy day calls for staying in, getting comfy under a nice quilt and getting some much needed hand sewing done. Finally managing to finish up my @violetcraft owl Epp (nicer pictures when it's all done ). Getting some Christmassy vibes thanks to my Candy Cane flavored @sewfinethreadgloss . Only a few more seams to go!! #MenWhoSew #MenWhoQuilt #MtlQuilts #CanadianQuilter #EnglishPaperPiecing #VioletCraftEppOwl #CanadianMqc #Mqg #MtlMqg

Quilted, bound, washed and on the bed!! My #orbiter quilt from @libselliott is finally done! Going to have to drag it outside for some nice clothesline pictures once there isn't a mound of melting snow directly underneath it. Decided on a nice bright orange thread for the quilting to give it just a bit of pop in the black. #quilting #menwhosew #menwhoquilt #quiltalong #orbiterqal #mtlmqg #modernquilting #canadianquilter #mtlmqgshowtell #MontrealQuilts #canadianmqc #apqs #apqslucey #apqscanada #PantographQuilting

Sigh, ever had one of those days where you start out super happy to get a personal project done, only to have it go sideways almost immediately? Yea, that's been my day thus far. Loaded my Orbiter quilt into the frame to dedicate the full day to quilt it up only to find that the "full rainbow" variegated thread I had planned on using is not, in fact, full rainbow... So, I have unpicked the ghost row and now Orbiter is sitting on the frame waiting for proper rainbow thread and thinking about what they'll finally look like once I finish quilting. #quilting #menwhosew #menwhoquilt #longarmquilting #apqs #apqslucey #apqscanada #PantographQuilting #handguidedquilting #edgetoedgequilting #MontrealQuilts #canadianmqc

Aw yea, finally managed to set aside some tome and get this beauty finished!! I'm only *does a quick calculation*, 4ish months behind the last week of the @libselliott #orbiterqal, so I am taking it as a win! Have to get two customer quilts finished before I can time warp panto the crap out of this one, but super happy i can at least cross the piecing step off my list ... #quilting #menwhosew #menwhoquilt #quiltalong #orbiterqal #mtlmqg #modernquilting #canadianquilter #mtlmqgshowtell #MontrealQuilts #canadianmqc

So I completely forgot I hadn't posted anything about this gorgeous bargello I finished up last week Another awesome piece by @pattimcsee, the color selection makes me feel all warm and cozy just looking at it. Quilted with a delicate edge to edge titled Evening Primrose by @urban.elementz with some nice Glide thread in Linen.... #quilting #menwhosew #menwhoquilt #longarmquilting #apqs #apqslucey #apqscanada #PantographQuilting #handguidedquilting #edgetoedgequilting #MontrealQuilts

Another cute little baby quilt all stitched up and tied with a bow for @contrarywise. We went with a swooshy stars pattern that played nicely with the larger pattern of the top. Also, who can say no to Unicorn backing. #quilting #menwhosew #menwhoquilt #longarmquilting #apqsquilting #apqscanada #canadianquilter #handguidedquilting #edgetoedgequilting #modernquilting #mtlmqg #mqg #mtlmqgshowtell #canadianmqc

These four beautiful memory quilts were sent to me by a very new quilter (there are her first four) and I could not be more grateful to her for allowing me to add a little something to these momentoes. Made from some of her late husbands favourite shirts, they are destined for her three children and father-in-law. #quilting #menwhosew #menwhoquilt #longarmquilting #apqs #apqslucey #apqscanada #PantographQuilting #MontrealQuilts

Another pretty finished!! I'm quite pleased I was able to mimic the random triangle pattern inside the kitty panel for my freemotion design, I think it helps unify everything together. Hopefully @pattimcsee will love it as much as I do! #quilting #menwhosew #menwhoquilt #longarmquilting #apqsquilting #apqscanada #canadianquilter #handguidedquilting #rulerwork #canadianmqc

This one was on and off the frame so fast, I barely thought about snapping some pictures . The added bonus of using a 17" wide panto pattern for a baby quilt i guess . All tied up in a bow for return delivery to my customer @contrarywise. #quilting #menwhosew #menwhoquilt #longarmquilting #apqsquilting #apqscanada #canadianquilter #handguidedquilting #edgetoedgequilting #modernquilting #tulapinkfabric #jaybirdquilts #stereoquilt

Finally got my #shatteredstarquilt (s) quilted, bound, washed and dried! The lighter colorway got a Cumulus panto treatment from @urban.elementz and my darker colorway got an easy water meander (I'm calling it Calm Waters) that I learned from my super awesome friend and mentor Tracey Russell from @whirlsnswirls_quilting 's YouTube channel (link below). https://youtu.be/p73_T-6z1VY Now to wait for the recipients to make themselves known to me so i can add a label to these bad... boys #quilting #menwhosew #menwhoquilt #quiltalong #shatteredstarqal #shatteredstarquilt @shannonfraserdesigns #mqg #mtlmqg #modernquilting #canadianquilter #mtlmqgshowtell #MontrealQuilts #canadianmqc

And she is done! The texture the Abacus panto gives this quilt is amazing! Also, yay for picture wall! @alexis.trumpet Did such an amazing job on this top, I do hope she enjoys my addition to her masterpiece. #quilting #menwhosew #menwhoquilt #LongarmQuilting #handguidedquilting #edgetoedgequilting #apqs #apqslucey #apqscanada #PantographQuilting #MontrealQuilts
