Let’s Bee Social #168

Posted on: March 15th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

Welcome to the Let’s Bee Social!

Today I’m going to take you for yet another trip down memory lane…

I am so excited to share this quilt made by Janice.

She emailed me…..

Hi Lorna,
I am including some pictures of my quilt that I just finished which is based on your modern bear paw pattern from the QAL.  The deer, mountains, and trees are from a pattern from the book Quick Rotary Cutter Quilts by Pam Bono Designs. The maple leaf is from an online pattern Falling Leaves by Shabby Fabrics.

I made the quilt for a friend who emigrated to Alberta from England many years ago but he now lives here in beautiful Prince Edward Island. As soon as I saw your bear pattern I wanted to try it but was not sure about all those small bear paws!  So this is the result.

Thank you so much for the quilt along. Your instructions are very clear and I love all your pieced animals.  I have the pattern for the birds and have made some pot holders as gifts from that pattern. I hope you enjoy seeing my quilt – I know I really enjoyed the process and I love the result.  My friend does as well.

Thanks again.
Janice

 

Wow! This quilt is simply incredible! I love that she added all the other blocks and made this quilt her own design. My favourite part is the purple mountain majesty. I really like the flying geese border, too. And the quilting?!!! Simply stunning!

Thanks so much for sharing your photos and story with us, Janice!!!

It was just back in July of 2016 that I shared my large MOD Bear Paw quilt. You can see more photos and read all about the process here in this post.

 

 

Did you know this is a FREE quilt along here on the blog?

To participate in the quilt along, I also made the baby sized version in blue. That was shortly afterwards, in October. And you can read all about the process here in this post.
